Warmth and light for me every time, as it replicates it's natural environment.
Oh @f@Fairygirl please don't suggest my black sock is redundant 😆. I gathered the heat was important and I'd put it on a radiator and then at a west facing window for the heat.
Prior I'd had been suggested they didn't want bright light, this was on GW too. Anyway if you are having success I'll try again without the black sock and see if I can some germination 😉.
Why not try both @Astro? Wee experiments are always a good idea. Then you can find another use for the socks if you find them unnecessary. Tea cosy maybe ?
Sometimes, it just comes down to timing. A lot of stuff on Gardener's World isn't relevant for me up here, and I don't often watch it. My windows at the back face roughly south east, and I just turn the seedlings to keep them 'upright'
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Are they supposed to look like this?
