Indoor autoflower seed germ

[mydanksstank]

okay so has anyone ever had seeds germing in a paper towel on a heating pad and had the towel start to steam well i might be the first idiot to do so and now i think i just steamed my beans i had four in the paper towel. two began to pop then the steam hit and thye havent changed. the other two are yet to open. any advice? i think i might have just muffed my self pretty good.

yeah, im new at this too, but all the research ive done said absolutely NO heating pad...it just needs to stay warm, moist and dark, not hot. i put mine between wet paper towels, two plates, wrapped the plates with plastic wrap, then put a long piece of black electric tape around the plates, where they meet, to block off any potential light that may still be getting in..my first time, i had 100% germ rate, now theyve been planted, and they ALL look great, vibrant and healthy. im on day 3 of growth. while they were germing, i just kept them in my grow room with the lights on, this kept them warm enuf..i have been worried sick ever since the seeds have been in paper towel, but everything is working great! (knock, knock)

don't sound good... you might want to drop them into soil and see what happens..

Last thur i place 5 royal dwarfs in a wash clothe at 9 am, placed them into a black turkey roast pan.Put the lid on and sat on top of the fridge.It is always warm up there. Friday afternoon at 3pm i placed all 5 germinated seeds in there cups filled with coco. Again 100% germ from royal queen! also popped 1 dinafem cheese and 1 john sinclair sativa trans-love.

Warm is relative mine are just on cup board shelf who's temps easily range from 40f-65f and I get lots of fine germination with these temps. I'm sure a little warmer and I'd do a little better but easily at an over 80% in low temps. Save the heat mat for rooting clones.
