I use the paper towel method of germinating and one day while checking my latest crop of germ'ers it occurred to me that the water in the paper towels was ice cold. I use heat mats under my cloning domes so I set a mat under my paper towel set-up. Bingo! Helped my germination success rate to improve. Works for me.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Yep a little warmth helps with all germination methods. I've had luck with an overnight soak in 1cup water with 1tsp hydrogen peroxide, then into rapid rooters under a heat source. This round it's my WiFi Router Sprouter. Peek a boo I see you in under 48 hours..

I just drop my seeds directly into the medium in a solo cup and place it on my heat mat with a cover over it loosely. 2 days later on average it's up and the dome is removed. Almost 100% success for years. Screw paper towels and water soaks.

Paper towel with warm water inside a sealed Ziploc bag, kept on top of my hot water tank. 100% success rate.
