Chamber Tips
Advice on best practices
Dibble and Seed
Dibble all trays before seeding. Either use your finger or a dibble board. This will center your seeds in the cell and provide a good environment to germinate.

No Covering Soil
Leave seeds uncovered so you can easily monitor germination. Covering seeds is unnecessary in the chamber.
Soak Tray
Thoroughly water tray before putting into the chamber. Tray will not need watering again until it is removed.
Set Temperature
A good average ideal temperature for Vegetable and Flower seeds is 75 to 78 degrees.
Take out
Remove tray when 50% or more seeds are visibly germinated. This is to prevent legginess if left in chamber too long.
Problems with Heat Mats
Heating mats or heated tables dry out the soil which will kill the seed unless you constantly water. This is not only extra work, but watering will cool down the seed resulting in delayed and reduced germination rate.
Cooler Crops
Spinach and Lettuce
These cool temperature crops germinate well at 75 degrees F which is the recommended set temperature in the chamber for all vegetables and flowers.
Problems with germination rates occur with these crops when the temperature is allowed to exceed 75.
We recommend shading the chamber or moving it out of direct sunlight to prevent that from happening.
Best in Class
Standard feature is the RANCO Single Stage Digital Thermostat in a Nema 4 enclosure. This will give you a lifetime of precise temperature control with an adjustable differential of as little as 1 degree F.
Thermostat Operating Range: -20°F to 140°F
Normal Operating Temperatures for the chamber can range from your shaded room temperature up to over 95 degrees.
An ideal setting for germinating most Vegetable and Flower seeds is 75 to 78 F.
