I file and soaked two 1147 Shenoha 08's this afternoon for six hours in a lukewarm 9:1 water:hydrogen peroxide solution. Then sowed them into prewarmed pots containing Happy Frog organic potting soil, with the top two inches being sterile Jiffy Mix. The germination chamber is the same set-up I used last year with the heat mat on the bottom of an 18 gallon sterilite container with the pots sitting on top of the mat and a cheap aquarium light I found at a thrift store suspended above to help generate more heat and for light. I also have a cup of water in there to keep the humidity high so the potting soil won't dry out. With this set-up the temperature of the potting soil where the seeds are can be kept at a constant 87°F.
