Growing Your Own Seed Indoors - Seed Starting Equipment

Hi Diane. This is a GREAT video. What is the brass rod that is next to the thermostat and how is it used? What is a good price (retail) for a heating mat?

[dianemummvideos]

@dkulikowski , the copper rod is part of the thermostat to regulate the temperature of the heat mat. Well the heating mats I use are commercial and you can get 5 full 10x20 trays on them they run over 100.00 ea and that does not include the thermostat.. you may want to look into something smaller for you .. just depends on what you want to spend ..

just wondering! If my room temperature is 70 D. how is a heating mat helpful?

[dianemummvideos]

@099087662 , heating mats work once your temp in your home drops, I like them as they speed up the process of germination greatly and germination of the seeds is good too, that is my experience, and I work in the basement, sometimes during the day however the heating mat does not warm as the house is warm..at night them come on. Since I am a grower I use them, a sunny window, top of a fridge etc works too, and that is how I used to germ my seeds.. do what works for you! good luck!
