Warming pad.

[Nickles]

Good morning everyone,I hope everyone is getting through these rough times. I had a quick question. I have been using a warming pad to help start my seedlings, I was wondering if or at what point should I stop using it. My babies are about 6-7 or so inches tall right now, three weeks old. I just wonder if it would now make them dry out faster than what they should, or even help to cause root rot. What are your guys thoughts on this? Anyone else use warming pads? Thank you in advance

Once they come out of the soil you don't really need it any more. I don't usually use a heating pad unless I'm doing clones.

Best temps for growing are around 77F/25c
temps 10 degrees each side is great for growing
in air/ compost /general media

if you want to grow? ..knowing the basics of heat and light is a must

keep using it but keep a temp gauge close by

a buddy used his cooking thermeter to keep track in the soil ..lol

good luck

A heat pad is practically a must for getting seedlings and clones going in cooler months. I usually take it away once seedlings have a couple of nodes grown in because they do tend to quickly dry out whatever media you're growing them in.

Soon as they sprout, they're off the mat and in the pot and it's day one of 92. KISS Auto grower
