So I know I need bright light for germinating seedlings but what is a good all around temperature? Although I use separate containers for different seeds, I keep them on the second shelf of my greenhouse which averages about 85 degrees. Is this too warm or not warm enough or just right?

From what I've read, 85F might be a touch warm for temperate plants but about right for tropicals. Again, I'm no expert. ;)

Actually, I decided that it would be a better idea to keep my seeds separate from the rest of my plants so I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RW ... =UTF8&th=1

Will fit on my desk in my grow room and already have a light after upgrading my green house light. With this thing on 75% power and seeds about a foot below the light they should germinate rather quickly.

I plan on putting a 3 tier shelf inside and can keep the seedlings close but not too close.
