Hydrofarm Germination Hot House

No, the kit does not include seeds or soil. You will need to purchase your preferred seed-starting mix and seeds separately to begin planting.

Yes, the heat mat is designed for continuous use. Because it comes with a temperature controller, you can set the exact soil temperature you need and the mat will cycle on and off to maintain that level safely.

This specific kit is designed for soil-based growing methods. While you could technically use it to germinate seeds for other systems, the included 72-cell tray is optimized for soil-based seed starting.

The base tray is made of durable, watertight plastic designed to hold the weight of 72 filled cells. However, it is best to place it on a stable, flat surface before filling it to avoid any potential bending or spills.

The heat mat operates at 17 watts, which is very energy-efficient. It is designed to run on a standard 120-volt household outlet.
