<<  much variation from the ideal temperature is acceptable ? I'm using an
 electric propogator which pushes daytime temperatures up to ninety
 fahrenheit, is this far too high to work for seeds which should be
 germinated at 70F, should I shut it off during the day ?

  why to hot-- 
many seeds just rot at that temp. Or will not germinate.
seeds germinate when it's time for active growth and the chance for surviving
is good.

when it's 90F out any sed that germinates in the wild will not have any water
to grow.  So the plants have "learned" the best time to germinate.
