paper towel germ 86F still sprout?

[kronicking]

Hey, I was curious if anyone knows if my seed will still sprout. I have left them on paper towel in a plastic bag on a heat mat for about 36 hours and it seems like the temp was 86F if not a little higher for that whole time and was wondering if anyone knows if I lower the temp and try to keep it around 77F will they have a chance to still sprout.

That's pretty warm and check it now as it may of cracked it could of been cooked at that high of temp. The temp. under 80 for germination is better. My 2cents

I'd forget the heating pad. Room temperature unless you happen to be one of those who's house is appropriate for cold storage. Think Canadia. Those Canadonians like things cold.

yea we seem to like it cold up here so yea last time I tried on paper towel without any heat it didn't seem to work well although it was on a plate last time. I actually checked my thermometer after and it actually went all the way up to 93.2F but I got it to a lower temp by putting some paper towels in between the pad and the bag its now sitting at 77F. One of the seeds looks like it actually started to crack the other one kinda looks like it is cracking but not quite sure.

OK just cover back up give it another 24hrs check again. Good you brought temp down abit. What's the plan if I may ask for the grow?

I also need a heat Matt for germination. I had to buy a controller for my heat pad though. It cooked my seeds to death without it.
