I haven't used mine yet, everyone I spoke to said that they get too hot. Do they really get that hot? Also where do you get the thermostat from?

most seedling mats will be too hot without a thermostat, yes. you can get them at most hydro stores i would think.
before the thermostat i used to do the dance with chopsticks or popsicle sticks stacked on each other to create a bit of separation between the propagation tray and the heat mat. it's a lot easier with the thermostat.

I’ve never had a problem with the heat mats getting to hot maybe because I place them on bare concrete floors?

What's a SIP?
one cheap solution for not buying the thing to turn down the heat on a heating pad, is just laying a towel across the mat, then put the tray on that! you can dbl up if it's still too hot! I'm also a poor fucker, I ain't spending 40 bucks to control the heat mat, just laying a towel down, it reduces the heat and works great! and best part it's free!

I hear that.... we are both in the same boat being poor. I think I'll try your towel method. The cable box has hot and cold spots on it, also used the ballast on my hps light

that's smart, i'm gonna use that. i always just put the probe leaning on the bottom of the tray, but it's the root zone temp you're going for, so that way makes sense.

Place a towel over the mat a a buffer.Use an IR or tongue thermometer to measure the temp differentials,towel -no towel.Towel for the win with no thermostat heat control.

Using a towel on top of the mat makes the heat more even too. A lot of the time there is hotspots and cold spots on them

mine did, and where I got the mat, they suggested to me, lol, to get the thermostat, as its almost twice the cost of the mat, but I didn't and burnt a mess o beans in a cold closet, with the handtowel buffer both under and above the mat, I knew about a half day too long with the amt of moisture in the dome. I bought the mat to quit using granny's heating pad that never shuts off, but doesn't cover the area of the dome. The mat does and she heats up just fine. I actually had to run a timer with like a half hr on and hr and half off, to get it not to burn the whole tray, I got a mess o beans to crack, but once in the dome, too hot. Someone said to set the temp to 73, I'll have to look around about it to see the perfect temp.

I got the heat-mat, no temp-control going...
It's just sitting on the counter, ambient temp 67
Temp on the mat is 87.
Temp of water in the shot glass with seeds 80.
Got a 12 ct. Jiffy Dome with pellets sitting on it, with a meat thermometer in the pellet(genius Heisen) reading at 82.
All you guys talking bout it made me check all my temps, and report back, lol.
Thanks guys!
