not enough light?

I don't know, it depends which direction your window sill faces and whether it gets enough direct sunlight. But i don't think that'd be a real problem with germination, just growing. I don't think bottom heat is really needed unless you're wanting serious germ success. I'd spend the money on a light. I've heard the cheap low wattage CFLs from Bunnings can explode. This is my light.

yeah like i said i'm not really expecting much from this little setup i have at the moment. i put them down with the attitude of 'if they grow, they grow'. i have just bought a heat mat off ebay, and i have now got HEAPS of seeds,
Trichocereus Pereuvianus Lopophora Williamsii Bridgesii Trichocereus Pachanoi Bridgesii X Trichocereus Pachanoi, and Scop X Juuls (whatever that is)
i will be sewing these seeds in april with a good light and clone dome.
hey undergrounder, could you send me a pic of the light with it switched off and get the whole thing in the shot?

Couldn't be bothered counting them all untill they are a little more mature. One I counted was 22/66 the other was 43/50

I've got a 75% germination rate. Most are about 1 CM tall with an average of about 4-6 spikes on the top of each one. They're in front of the window so they're not getting much light. I put a reptile heate mat under the pots

The ones i planted 30 days ago have heaps of spikes already, one has about 20+ long, thin spikes and is starting to send out its second aerole set, they are all about 8-10mm tall with one exceptional seedling that is abut 15mm tall. They are getting quite fat.
The ones i planted 14 days ago have almost all shed their seeds and are about 5-8mm tall, with their first aeroles but no visible spikes yet. They are still blobs.
Germination rate is about 75%.

I had to move mine out from under the lights and up to the open air in a window because my grow area got an ascarid fly invasion.
But still, they've fattened up a bit, most have developed their first 8 or so tiny spikes.
