I do believe tho that those temps are the soil temps. The air temp of in the 90* range doesn't produce an overly hot soil. Especially when you keep the soil damp. I have on occasion put a little meat therometer in the soil but I don't remember what it gets any more.
The fact that I'm getting germination in 3-5 days for tomatoes and less than a week for the hot peppers say it all for me. And I'm not getting just a few of the seeds to germinate.
But I was just putting out what works for me. Everyone has to do what works for them.
