"Do you think you need to use a heating mat for seed germination in winter?"


need: require (something) because it is essential or very important.

Hmm.. The word "need" is an interestingly tricky one. People often use the word "need" for things which they really don't need, but simply would prefer to have. As an example, if my boss is telling me to do something that I don't want him/her to do, and I tell them "I need you to shut the fuck up and get out of my face right now!", is that really a need? Of course it would be much better if the curtly implied request was acknowledged, however it may not be "needed".

So, in terms of the seed, I guess the "need" would depend on your specific environmental conditions. In a tropical heated greenhouse, for example, a heated mat would not be needed, although it might help. In contrast, germination in a cold garage, a heating mat would not only be preferred, but it might be required (needed), in order to not deter germination and growth.

I agree there are so many variables that come into play. One person may need a heating pad because where they live and their setup and the next person may not need one per say. Always good to have everything on hand that way if you do need something you are not running around like a headless chicken.

#2 I think I need a heatmat for seed germination in the winter. I run clones, so it's perfect for the winter. Heat rises and I'll be able to keep ideal temps throughout the growth cycle here is a sneak peak in the Mars Hydro 3x3IMG_20221112_163519_MP.jpg

I misread. Yes I do think you need a heat mat for seedlings in winter. It's not even winter yet but I need one for my seedlings now. The nights are getting cold.

Did I need to answer all the questions to be in this? I missed the first day. I'll keep going anyway.
