Jamie, the first year I grew brug seeds I germinated them in wet paper towels in plastic bags hanging from my computer for warmth. Then moved them to McDonald salad cups with their plastic dome cover and put them on my window sills, none in direct light. I got a fair number of plants growing that way! I do not think they are hard to get going. I peel all mine but do not soak them.


My fear is your card board egg container will mold when kept wet for so long. I think light hitting the seed is more important than bottom heat.

I have never used bottom heat and now I have it down to a science and get almost 100% germination. I just potted up 38 germinated bruglings in rockwool from one 4 inch by 4 inch Tupperware container late last night, that were already 4 inches tall for I naughtily had waited and waited to plant them up. . They were packed in. I just finished telling Brugie why I wanted 38 RK x BF bruglings will be forever a mystery to me.

These are not the ones I did last night, but see how close I pack them.
