I am looking at growing some seed that wants day/night differential for germination. If it goes well I'll end up with plants that appreciate cool roots and flower more like they do in their native environment. They'll just be wee plants so they can exist happily in pots on a tray with a tall dome. I am also a newbie so I may well be missing the obvious downfalls to my solution. So I am calling on the hive-mind here. What I am wondering about is why I don't hear of people using laptop chillers to cool roots? Are they unable to draw enough heat away? grack

Seed germination is incredibly complex. The conditions that initiate germination are not necessarily the conditions best suited for growth. Best to research the actual growing conditions of the particular plant.

Maybe also mention what you are trying to germinate and grow, it is possible one of us has tried and can give advice.

The Darlingtonia seed that is stratifying in a fridge ATM might like the set up. But the stricter ones about the day/night are some South African seeds that I hope to turn into bulbs and succulents from "wet winter" areas. grack

Meh. I'm hearing from friends that their cooling would be insignificant. ah well. grack
