Have you checked the temperature of the soil the seeds are in with the heat mat elevated 3/4 of an inch?
Just curious.

A person may consider mixing 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 10 parts water to spray the soil with.
This will help stop damping off tremendously.

My parents used to keep their home that hot.

Haven't used a soil thermometer on it, no- just use my finger.

The H2O2 tip is a great one- that works really well, even if you already notice any visible fuzzy growth!
