Sue, I'm not so sure that I agree with what you said about most people leaving the seeds in the solution at room temperature. Many people germinate them in the fridge. We've had many discussions on here about this, and it seems to me that most people put them in the fridge to germinate. That isn't to say that one method is better than the other. What works for one person doesn't always work for the next, so everyone does what works for them. For me, and many others, they are chilled.
