Great idea! Love it!thistlebloom said:Ridgerunner has also posted his heat setup on here, which I think is a clever use of tree lights. Look here: http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=30814 post #10kennedyscochins said:I have started broccoli seeds, they have sprouted and are doing good. I thought I would work on green bell pepper seeds now. I had an idea to use my small incubator and set the temp at 80 degrees for them to germinate. I turned my humidity off since they have water in the soil. The humidity is still saying 94%. My mom said she thought peppers didn't like a lot of humidity. Any advice on this? It is too cold in my house for pepper seeds. We keep it around 68 inside. This also may be silly, but could I just put a regular heating pad (like the ones for your back) under the pan that has the seeds in it to keep the soil warm or is this crazy?
He's described how it's built somewhere on TEG...
Here's what I used for my peppers last year because our house gets into the 50's at night and my seeds weren't doing anything:

Here you can see the thermometer. I just used a sweater box with the little Christmas lights in it. It worked really well for the small amount of peppers I started.
