| When a seed is said to need a temp of 68 degrees for good germination, is that temp an air temp or soil temp?

| It is soil temperature. Your soil will equal your air temperature if given the time. If you keep your house at 68 degrees your soil will be also, at least if kept in the house! Recommended temperatures are usually optimum but you can vary colder or warmer several degrees and still get good germination,it may take a few days longer. Al |

| Yea...soil temp. If they are in slightluy cool conditions where you are having trouble keeping the soil temp around 70 as needed, I usually water with warm to slightly hot water. That helps elevate it some. |
