First time seed start – using a heated mat


Hi! I’m trying to step up my pepper garden game this year (zone 10b) and decided to start from seed to get more unique varietals than from the nursary.

I got a heated pad to keep at 80F as I’m seeing is ideal, but the mat itself says to never leave it unattended… how am I supposed to keep the seeds at 80F if I shouldn’t leave the pad on when I’m not near it?

Should I turn it off when I leave the house and overnight? We keep our house at 68-70F, is that warm enough for germinating?

Thanks for the knowledge! I’ll keep sharing my grow process along the way. First pic is my set up, second pic is what I am growing!
