My 1st test at germinating in my new greenhouse failed! 2 major flaws- 1. I made up my starting mix fine,warmed up fine for a day before putting in seed,had the mix covered w/ plastic wrap, put in the soaked seed & I shouldn't have removed the plastic- I did! dried out,I caught too late. 2. bottom heat hooked to thermostat wouldn't maintain high enough temp. left on all the time too hot(95-98!) I finally got that at 87 (heat mat on all the time-insulate bottom of pot w/foam.oh yah 3.! light too far away- 10"
