I have a space heater I'm putting on a timer overnight, so I can maintain 78-80 degrees for my babies.
During the day was going to use the lights on low setting to generate the heat needed.

Space heaters have thermostats they don’t need a timer

It's not a myth it's KELP and micronutrients.
I disagree. I've used it on my vegetables and did a few without, it mattered.

I actually put the solo cup inside a coffee can to even the warmth, creates an envelope of warm moist air.

This one keeps going...it has no thermostat control... Just stays running ...it cools off a bit and gets hot again.
I've been testing it to see how much it warms the area.
30 min on ,15 minutes off, cycle all night keeps the temperature at 70 or so.
Still playing around with it. I have two timers so, definitely using them.
If I run the heater all night, it's too hot.

I'm going to dome my pots with plastic and poke holes in them.

Please do not run that in a grow room
Buy something safe

It's not in a grow room.
It's on my window.
It doesn't get that warm.
It has a safety shut off switch if it gets bumped or moved.
It's fine and it's all I've got.

Gotta work with that I got.
Here's the small one I have in
the window.

If the top of your fridge is warm and not covered with tupperware like mine, thats warm enough.

Sadly not enough space and not a big enough fridge.
I actually tried doing that with some seeds that I found in a pre-roll but they didn't germinate it's just not warm enough..
I have a pretty tiny fridge

I've seen other growers be successful with Superthrive, even other posters here on RollItUp talk about Superthrive.It's not a myth it's KELP and micronutrients.
I disagree. I've used it on my vegetables and did a few without, it mattered.
I even spoke with the creator of Superthrive before he passed away.
Sorry it didn't work for you, but to each thier own.

Well, cracking them is the real trick, there are many methods but all agree warm and wet is best

That's what she said... Warm and wet..lolWell, cracking them is the real trick, there are many methods but all agree warm and wet is best
I've seen people scuff seeds in a tube with sandpaper.
But cracking them?

Just a euphemism for germinating.

Oh Jesus, wow.
Well I guess I'll just throw it in the trash.
I can't take it back to the store.
Don't have the receipt.
Yikes!
That really sucks.
Ok I'm throwing it away.
Thanks Herbs and Suds.

I don’t know about superthrive. The water soak is to give the germ enough moisture to sprout, especially useful with older, improperly stored seeds. They float, then sink when the kernel is ready. My experience anyway. Soil depth helps pull the shell off, nothing worse than a strong hinged helmet head, but again a drop of water helps there too.

The packaging that screams "back of a golden-age comic book" is a nice touch that gives me exactly zero confidence.
Add to that that it works the same whether its a drop per gallon or a drop per cup...hrrrrm...that sounds like magical thinking. They don't want to tell anyone, but some digging suggests it's kelp and that's it. Not harmful, but I'm not sure that this makes it 'super'...though lots of us use products with kelp in them already.
I'm enjoying picturing plants in the wild trying to figure out how to plant seeds one way or another in the ground since they have no hands (with or without gloves). I drop mine into soil that I've already dampened without worrying one way or the other. I'm just happy I don't have to cold stratify seeds for 3 months before use. I also prefer a seeding/heating mat to any kind of space heater.

Yeah I used to have a seedling mat, could probably pick one up in the future.The packaging that screams "back of a golden-age comic book" is a nice touch that gives me exactly zero confidence.
