the process of seed germination in and of itself produces

skew the results by interfering with the process.


This is the first time I've ever heard this heat thing and I'd like to
see a reference. I would think that natural heat from the sun would
be orders of magnitude more heat than what two tiny seeds could
generate. Plus, if the surface is constantly wet, figure out how much
heat it takes to warm water and tell me how seeds are going to do
that.

Sounds like BS to me as well.
