Indoor What's the best temperature for germination?

[MadDoctor]

Hello, as the title says, what temperature you guys think gives the best results?

70-80

75f to 80f is ideal......:stylez rasta smoke:

70 for night time - although you can go down to 65 (some people do intentionally to induce purpling)

 

[MadDoctor]

Did you mean soil/medium temperature or air temperature? I'm particularly interested in the medium's temperature right now.

Hmm, don't know how relevant that is doc for soil -

Think of it this way, its the air temperature which will heat up the soil so they are not going to be far off each other however the only difference is, Soil will take longer to warm up then air.

I also haven't heard a lot on bringing the temp of soil down - which indicates that as long as your airs in range your soil should be aswell

Alot of people us heating pads if you are concerned about temp in medium, I have with
mixed results, I think ambient temp is more important, if it is comfortable to you the medium
should be fine.

I have a waterproof aquarium heater, I was thinking I could put it in the soil for the germination phase and then use it for the irrigation tank. So to what temp do I set it for germination? Something in the 75-80F (23-26C) range should be fine right?
