seeing as i was extremely bored this year, i ran some germination trials, after
they came up, i kept the temp. above 85
° every day, then i uped it to over 90°,
then around 94° i couldn't get it any hotter. the seedlings were fine. of
course in my house is a pretty controlled environment, there were no other
factors afecting it's growth other than heat. but, i would think that a young
seedlng, newly transplanted, you wouldn't want to go over, i'll pick a different
number than everyone else, 88°, yeah, that's a good number. just be careful it
doesn't dry out.
