I'm planning on starting two A.G. seeds that are about 10 years old. I'm wondering what temperature would be the best for germination of these seeds?
I realize there's a seed starting forum, but thought I'd get more and quicker answers here.

85 degrees gets my vote-get some gibberlilic acid and ask eddie Z. for instructions

I like to go 1 degree warmer than cojoe and the Biz. Turn it up a notch. Bigger is better! Right?

For me 90 is best. I have tried at lower temps and it just don't work.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to start some seeds today. They are soaking as I type this.
Thanks Jim. I was fortunate to obtain two 603.5's. It would be great if they both germinated. I hope at least one does.
