soil Soil temperature?

Yesterday I planted my seeds, and have them under a flourescent full-spectrum lamp, and am wondering what a good temperature to keep them at is? I just stuck a thermometer into the soil, and the highest temp I got was 90 degrees. Seems a little warm to me. Help? Please? haha, I feel so dumb asking these questions. I'm a computer technician, so any questions you guys might have about PC's i'm here! hahaha :P
 
78 not too cold but you will have longer germination times...

85-86 ideal as AB said

consistant temps above 90 slows germination and temps above 93-94 cooks the germplasm...
 
Thanks for all the replies fellas. Got the soil at the right temp, and am good to go! Until I have another question of course :crazy:
