started my seeds last sunday,got both trays situated to the proper height for a consistent temperature of 75 degrees over both mats , monday morning good monday evening good all good till sometime wednesday night
one of the mats internal thermostat got stuck wide open, when i woke up there was a smell in the air.
thank goodness we were there the mat was just about to melt short of catching on fire.
needless to say both trays of seeds got cooked 130* and the other read 111*, so today did some digging around you could see seeds that tried to germinate but got fried from the heat.
the other mat was not holding a good temp either, so both mats went right into the trash can, ordered new seeds.
those mats where 10 years old. something has to give after awhile.......
think i will just go with a little personal heater this year and see how it does....
nothing like a little set back to a well laid out plan......grrrrr
