I've read that a good temp for seedlings is 65-85.

My germination rate tripled with the ones that were on a heating pad on low around 85 degrees. My house temp has been around 63-70 the past 4 weeks. The ones on the heating pad also germinated within 4 days while the others took around 9-11 days with a poor ratio.
