not only warm but keep them moist. I usually grow germ the old method with paper towel or just in a seedling pot with soil. This year I tried the rockwool because I used it for my clones, I don't like it for germing personally. Maybe I need to pay closer attention but the rockwool can dry very quickly with heat and it can dry out the roots to nothing in a hurry. Other than that point it does fine.
Good Luck and Happy Growing
