Well here goes seed germination Part Deux. On some advice from scott_kim_west_iowa, I put some plastic this time over the pots to help hold in the moisture to keep it from drying out. I tested the germination chamber after it was built using the peat pots shown here and went 5 for 5 that took about a little under 96 hours to break soil. And just for grins I put two using the paper towel method on the shelf above the lights. The last ones I'm sure got cooked at 91 degrees sitting too close to the bulbs. The orange pail inside is half filled with water just to see if that raises the humidity level any.
