I assume you are talking about something like this:

{{gwi:1157779}}

{{gwi:1157780}}

Work great,about $30.00 even, at the local nursery.
Probably cheeper at discount stores or lowes etc.

Bhuts like 85-90 degrees,don't try and sprout wilds or some other varieties at that temp.
Too warm in general.
I couldn't get some annuums to sprout over 75-80 degrees.

Thats exactly it, any suggestions as to a light?

Shop Lights in 5000-6000k,as high a lumen as you can find.
Or LEDs.Mine are homemade.

Smokemaster, I'm lolling at your re-purposed trays that appropriately warn their contents are "HOT". Truth in advertising? :-p

Thanks for posting pics of your setup. As a newbie, I'm always looking for ideas. And my mother happens to have two of those shelves sitting unused in her backyard... I think a burglar might head back there sometime soon. ;-)

Sbaker6,

What Smokemaster said (especially) the 85F range for Bhuts. I started a 72 cell tray (one Bhut seed per cell) for farmer friends in mid December. By Jan 2nd I had an 89% germination rate, 64 out of 72 sprouts.

FYI, if you're using a heat mat you may want to read a previous post on mats and temp output and etc. etc. etc.
