Just habit I suppose Viz, I also enjoy watching the process

Yeah the voyeur that seems to be in all us growers. I love looking at my girls in their tent. Makes me feel calm and quiet happy.

Thanks for the reply.

well, honestly I didn't use the radiator at all, it was just now, maybe it could help.. but otherwise It was always in my room, on a desk or something and at room temp, which is now 20-27 C
also, I have taken off the plates because, I cant use the radiator anyways, so its just in my growbox and the light is on to make it warmer, or do you think its a dumb idea to heat it?

Not a dumb idea just not needed. Seeds want to be warm, so anything between 22'C and 26'C is very good.

I just leave mine on the kitchen bench, regardless of the temp

Thank you very much for this helpful post but I would like to question some things: 1, do you put it in a dark place, or just leave it in light? 2, what is the average time of germination, assuming that the seed wasnt soaked and or so? appr. 3 days? 3, oh yes and my room temp. is between 20 c and 27 c, is this a good environment for germination?

Fear not Loki, since I am hosting the comp, I will not be entering.... plus I have a 10L air pot for this young girl

It's a shame we won't see you do a Pepsi bottle grow mate, will you be doing a diary?

I have a cheeky NLxBigBud auto that I got free when I ordered my latest seeds.

I've germinated 20-30 seeds in rockwool cubes saturated with water, just placing them in and putting them in a dark place, has never taken more than 72 hours from the moment they were put in the cube, a lot of them are done in 48 hours. just be patient that's the number one rule

and as far as temperature goes, you're fine...

Got to ask this question aimed at M_C but anyone jump in and resply, if you are growing Auto's as I have why then do we not simply pop the seed straight into the final pot. I just stick them in Jiffy 7 things but have been trying to work out why I do that. Auto's like to stay put and not be re-potted. So do we germinate in all the different methods just out of habit even when we can simply pop seed in soil with Auto plants?

ive always believed its because they just grow to the edges and start circling so its better if you make progressive root rings or rather balls.

I just leave them out of direct sunlight....

Never had that with Airpots - touch wood.
