seeds-germination Germinating with an incubator

I used to breed reptiles and have a couple incubators laying around. I put 3 seeds of each (Thomas squash, ancho, mustard habanero, fatalii, hot wax (the hot wax seeds went in fresh just because I just ate one and had a couple seeds left over), and Ruby king). I will set the Bator for 83 degrees. The temperature will (should) only fluctuate +-1 degree. This isn't the most efficient way of germinating in means of quantity but thought it'd make for a good experiment in a controlled environment. I could double the seed count in this incubator and have another one on stand by if I get good results.

I had such a tough time last year with my reapers and naga vipers that I thought I should doing a little experimenting. I plan on taking cuttings from those soon. I've always found rooting cuttings in plan water to be very easy for most pants.
