Whenever I just plant my bum on the couch it seems to grow bigger, so you could be on to something.
Well, it’ll heat your seeds either way.
Thanks just bought one, should be great for home brew.
My exact thoughts
Wow that’s very cheap!
Thanks OP. Would you say it's quite simple to use? My 70yo dad is a keen gardener but not great with technology
Very simple. Just set temperature, place seedling trays on top and water as required.
Warning - this product is misleading.
I bought it a couple months ago thinking the thermostat function was an external one you placed in the soil for a proper temperature control feedback (as it says 'real temp').
However it's only a thermostat that sits on the mat. Which to me is less useful as it doesn't actually tell you how warm the seeds soil is, adding to further guessing and constantly changing the temperature set point.
If you don't need this function then it is a decent buy.
Will this work for heating mobile/tablet device screen to seperate the screen from frame?
Doubt it very much as temp up to 50c. Better to put in car and leave it closed for 10 minutes :). Honestly not sure how much heat needed for that.
Just use a hot/cold pack heated up. That's what IFixIt uses in their kits. Not too hot though.
How much $ do these things normally go for??
I have no use but could be a good Christmas gift for my father…
Thx
Looks perfect for raising dough. Ordered one, thank you!
The reason why i got it too!
i raise dough in oven with just the light on …seems to create enough warmth.
Yeah, I'm a bit fussy when it comes to the temperature for my sourdough. 4 different steps, all with different temperatures to support the different microorganisms (not just yeast).
So far I've used one of those reptile heating mats, and an external temperature controller. $23 to get 'all in one' makes for a much neater setup.
mmmm 4-step sourdough *drool
I don't need one, but I think it's a good deal. I already have 3 grow mats from no name brands on ebay, similar price but probably not 'inkbird quality'.
In case you're wondering, I indoor grow chillies but it would be helpful for germinating other plants too
How does this compare to ones you get off AliExpress? Cheaper and looks equivalent with good reviews: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005551926031.html
one has a thermostat the other one just straight heat you'll need something to switch it on and off
…and use this to start your seed with…

prob the best seed raising starting tray i used. Really good as you get an extender with it so you can start growing your owntaller veggies like peas, tomatoes etc
Use the mat inside or under the bottom tray?
I got this from Aliexpress really cheap, very similar design and yeah they work great!
Could you share the link?
What are the benefits of the propagator say compared to a clear plastic tub that you can purchase from one of the cheap shops? I can see it has air vents, but how important are these?
If you want to use a fan to move the plants about, this will be of value to you.
If anyone plans on using this for animals/critters, be mindful that most will dig to get away from heat, so dont put the mat under the enclosure like their example shows.
The trick is to orient it so only one end of the enclosure is heated, then the animals can find an appropriate place along the temperature gradient from there. For burrowing inverts etc., you can do the moisture gradient the other way
They have multi-mat sets too, cheaper per unit if you want more mats connected to single thermostat
Edit: only 2-mat set still in stock, $39.99
I almost thought it's something to heat your bum on the couch during winter.
