So Ive been trying to use a heat pad with the thermostat probe stuck inside the soil after I have planted a germinated seed to attempt to facilitate strong a rapid root growth and somewhere I read in my hours and hours of research on the subject it said to maintain a soil temp 10-15 degrees above the ambient temp.
So what ive done is laid the heating matt on a table top, placed the seedling pot on the matt and then put a clear tote upside down over that, and a bowl of water and temp/rh reader. The inside temp is normally what you see in the pics, 10-15 degrees higher puts the soil temp (based again on what ive read) at around 90 degrees. the sucker leaves color dont look right, this is my second seedling that basically seemingly "stopped growing", and Im not sure which part of this setup isnt cuttin it.
Is any of this crap even necessary?? Cause im not getting any luck gettin passed this seedling shit! First try at growing I over watered...this time I saturate the soil before I drop the seed in, put a baggie with a few poked holes in it over the pot...once it pops through the soil Im not sure if I should keep the baggie over it or take it off and try and control temp and RH the way Ive done in these attached pics.
Im tired of burning through otherwise good seeds!!
