yea i had to learn the had way, i put te seeds ontop of a heater that was a constant 90 F and it cooked my seeds..I shoulda just left it ontop of my TV,..remember ...WARM not hot..feel the back of a laptop after using it for a while..ontop of your cable box, sattelite box or surround sound amplifier are idea places to store seeds for germination bcuz they give off a decent amount of heat..Ive also heard of ontop of a fridge or ontop of a water heater...

Or just put then in your grow area with lights on. This should already be set up and running at a good temp to grow: which is also a good temp to germinate. Well atleast that is always what ive done.

Oh yeah makes sure if you do this that you cover the seedings up so the light can get to them. Between paper towels, in a bag, between two paper plates on top of each other. That is my method and so far outta like 40 seeds ive had 3 not pop. Good seed banks have a ton to do with this also though!!

lol seedless. Heat mats are available for aroung $10.00. Mine came with a tray and peet pellets. Raise the temperature of the soil/ medium about 10deg. Only need it for about a week. And it can go right in your grow room .. or on top of the tv or water heater or..

they are reacting to what they think is spring time. spring temps are what they need 75-85. i keep mine set at 78. if it's to hot for your face it's to hot for your seeds. be the weed.
