Do I just put the seeds in peat pots, and have the temperature at 95? Or is it more complicated then that?

I germinate in a egg incubator. I mix potting soil in a bucket with water and squeeze all the water out, place the soil in pot. Seed goes tip down, with the top of the seed exposed. With the temps at 96 to 98, I get awesome germination rates with 3 days, 4 at the most. Also I water them everyday while in the incubator with about a 1/2 oz of water.

I use a small scientific incubator. I soak my seed and wrap them in a small piece of damp but not too wet paper towel and that goes into a tiny zip-lock with a label on it and then into the incubator which I have set on 98 degrees.

I germinate in sterile mix in plastic pots. Nothing fancy, I just keep the heat between 92-98.
