70 Degree Soil at Night an issue?


My nursery is on my back patio, and soil temps drop to 70 F at night, 85 all day. 2/3 have sprouted before tge temp issues started up due to removing the domes. Should I be concerned about the 15 degree swings? Do you think the rest will sprout or do I need to take mitigating action? Put domes back on?

Thanks for the advice! This ia my first year starting from seeds. Bought from White Hot Peppers.

    They’ll be fine. I had some chilis pop up these last few days with 50*F soil temp and mid 30* air temp. They don’t care. They’ll grow faster in the warm for sure, but I wouldn’t worry about the temp drop.
