Finally, I was able to copy the pictures from the phone to my desktop....

Seedlings after only a week on the heat mat at 80 degrees.

The blanket and cardboard around the light rack is to keep the heat from the mat and the lights around the plants. We've had a couple of cool snaps, where the garage temperature got into the 40's. I put the thermostat sensor into an unused peat pellet to get accurate heating. I also have a kitchen thermometer in the pellet to check the accuracy of the thermostat settings. This would normally have up to four 72-pellet trays, with two trays on the heat mat. One 16 pellet tray for now, and one partial refill for peppers in a few weeks.

The wire rack full of jars would normally hold up to 12 flats of seedlings in pellets. That's over 850 plants... not this year, though.
