The ways that seeds are dispersed are many, but cannabis has recently found an interesting partner to help in its dispersal. Humans are the leading cause for transporting cannabis seeds throughout the world.
Germinating cannabis seeds may seem straightforward, but it’s actually a subtle art that many have yet to master. This is the beginning of a long and arduous journey, so it’s necessary that your cannabis plants start off on the right foot.
This is the general understanding between us and cannabis seeds, in which the most legendary strains have been found in unnamed “bag seed.”
General Requirements for Cannabis Seed Germination
A seed is an embryonic plant. Just as humans are embryos at the earliest stage of life, so are seeds.
Cannabis seeds, like all other seeds, are the result of reproduction between plants. Each plant has evolved throughout millions of years to adapt to their surroundings; thus, they’ve also made their seeds adapt to certain dispersion methods.
Many are adapted for water submersion, while others are capable of being digested and remaining intact or to latch onto the fur of a passing animal.
Since seeds eventually grow into a plant, their range of mobility is fixed. They cannot move across the land as animals do; therefore, their seeds must disperse away from their immediate vicinity.
I would forget about the mat. Just put your seeds in your cups and keep them moist. With temps like that the humidity will help them sprout. The mat will probably make to much heat and possibly cause more males.
mats are waste of money.

heard from others that they are just a money grab. not necessary. the fluo you put them under will have a ballast that created heat and is usually sufficient. gl
