I had a couple of plug flats that only germinated in the outside rows all
around the flats, with several varieties in each flat. Other flats came up
close to 100% at the same time. Looks to me like it had to be a case of
either more heat or less moisture in the outside 2-3 rows of cells, but I'm
still scratching my head a bit about the whole thing.
