Germination Room/ Box
I'll chime in on this one. My case rests on experience. Over the past 3
years I have used the germination room with good success maintaining an 85
degree temp and between 60 and 85% humidity. I am a firm believer in the
don't let mother nature play any part in starting your seeds. She WILL kick
you in the stomach, guarnteed. If I had only grown my most vigorous seeds
and thrown away the rest, here is my slowest starters..... 1997 Slowest was
the #567.5 Mombert, 1998 Slowest was again the #567.5 Mombert produced my
former PR at #789, second slowest was the #697 Ciliberto which ended up a
stumpless wonder and still hit #720. And of course there is 1999 and I would
have tossed my 990 Bax and my 801 Stelts which produced my PR pumpkin at
#850.5. I theorize that if you can get the seed out of the ground, the
genetic code takes over, and away you go.
Just my opinion,
