Default seeds

Going to try and start some hot pepper seeds again this year. Last
year
near the beginning I got lots of mold. I also did not soak. Took over
6
weeks before I goy any sprouts. Too cool downstairs. I'm going to try
a
tray and use a cover this time watching wetness, upstairs where it
warmer.
Any tips?

Ventilation? not too much, otherwise they will dry out.
I experienced some mold too from excess moisture. Finding the right
balance by trial and error.
A light timer on a fan may do the trick. That's on my list for
germination season.

Cheers
