Seed germination in incubator

"We didn’t have helmets. We had skulls—and vengeance." - Al Bundy

Im not sure. I would maybe try to imitate the heat of a seedling heat mat. But In nature, it wouldn't have the warmth that we provide. Could very well benefit from cold before hand. Some seeds need to have a frost before they Germinate

The best way to germinate seeds (within 24h!) is: a small closed container (like a small jam jar with a screw lid, for example), fill the bottom lightly with filtered (or stale) water - really just 1-2 millimeters (so that the seeds are half in the water and the other half above water), then add 2-3 drops of hydrogen peroxide (3% solution) in there, put the lid on, and let the whole thing sit at 26-28°C for 24h. With the closed lid, you have 100% RH and enough oxygen in the jar thanks to the hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen in the jar. The temperatures of 26-28°C activate the metabolism in the seed super quickly, and after 24h you have a root that is ideally already 1-2cm long. 👽

Feels like a bit extra for me, but I dont see why it shouldnt work. 22 C sounds fine, in my experience everything between 20 and 25 works pretty well. Humidity would be high enough, you would have to transplant them into soil after three days with a strong taproot. Would love to hear back from you if it worked! A tip if you wanna try something else: I use wet papertowels inside a ziploc bag, which is probably the most standard version. But I store the ziploc bag upright during germination, by example between two books standing upright, which will always end in a taproot growing straight down. Makes for an easy transplant later on. You can check out my latest diaries to have a look at their taproots :)

Just wondering why week19 is attached?

Also the answer to the temp is an extra so many Celsius on the room temp already, not same temp for everyone.

Wouldn't use it. Condensation is no factor if there in water already. I do have a heatmat under the prop tank with lid on foe germination.. Lid off for seedlings
