I had a similar experience with pre-sprouting on paper toweling this year. 3 seeds within 36 hours! Some didn't sprout for 2 weeks, thought I'd killed them with too much heat. My mat has no thermostat.

So I started with more seeds. Left them in the baggies without the heat mat. Didn't throw the original ones out. Of course many the original seeds that I started on March 6 sprouted as well as the new ones! Some took 3 weeks, but the same seeds started at room temperatures took only 7. Go figure.
