I also learned the hard way that I didn't need heat on every shelf and not to keep the bun rack cover zipped up at all times.

So now I turn one large mat on under the lowest shelf of seedlings that needs heat (pansies for example don't) and zip it up.
... Heat rises, so it's always warm enough top to bottom, but still warmest at the top. I put the warmth-loving plants closer to the top and everything else in the middle and bottom shelves.


Genius! And simple.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
