For years I've been using my hatching incubator to dry my seeds. It should be between 98° and 99°. I dry them for 2-3 days, peel the skins and let them rest for about a week before bagging and storing. I've had great results and no moldy seeds that germinate just fine. Well that may not be the case with this years first batch. I went out to pull them after 3 days and evidently the thermostat decided to crap out. Best I can tell is it got somewhere around 130°. This happened about a week ago. Decided to go ahead as normal and pull them and let them rest. I'm test germinating all 3 batches that were in there. The first batch, from my 1199, was only in there 24 hrs and they have been in the germ box for 48 hrs. Just checked and 2 have popped. The other 2 batches were in the incubator for 3 days and have only been in germ box for 24 hrs. One batch has a bunch of white tips so it will be interesting to see what effect this mistake may have had on all 3 batches.
