Just started Germination. Optimal temp?

Hello, new gardener here. I just germinated a few strains of seeds (Church, Super Lemon Haze, Royal Haze, and Blue Widow) and after they developed about an inch of root in napkin I moved them into propagation plugs and put them in a tray under a T24 in cabinet. I have rooting mat and keep the dome misted to increase humidity, my question is I have a remote themometer reading 90-95 degree F, with 80% relative humidity. I am noticing that the plugs need a little water a little sooner to stay moist but what is optimal temp for this stage? Thanks in advance for any information or advice you can provide me.

Ok, to update I can see that I will have the sprout within the next 2 days on the good seeds I ordered. 5 out of 7 germinated (2 out of 3 Church seeds did not germinate). I already have some bag seed plants growing in veg under a t44 (which I will use for mother plants eventually) and have hooked up some co2. They seem to love it I'm at 80 degrees and 52 percent humidity. I still got up to 104 degrees today in the dome before I unplugged mat and it stayed around 97 degrees, other than a little more supervision to make sure plugs are moist, everything seems to be fine and on schedule...although I have yet to date complete a harvest...chances are greater than ever and my room is oh so secure...

Ok so somehow I managed to kill all of these seedlings. I believe it was a combination of me pushing them too far down into the plugs and also I believe I kept them soggy as opposed to moist and as a result I have failed with my good seeds. Because I didn't check on them every 5 minutes my bag seeds are shooting up and out like crazy. Luckily I kept some Super Lemon Haze and Church seeds, I have germinated them, they all popped and now Church has sprouted and both SLH are pushing through.

Did you buy a tempature control for your seed heat mat? If not you defintely need to. Before i bought my temp control i tried germin 5 SLH and a Warlock and A Motavation. all was going great until i got the heat seed mat. I figured they would stay in between 75-85 degrees since there made for seeds, but hell no. I plug it in and i checked on em regularly. The first day went fine but on the second my seedlings were dried to a husk, all dead the root riot cubes were as dry as dry gets.I didnt know you were supposed to buy a thermostat for it! I ended up buying one and it makes a HUGE difference. Well, I hope this helps you some.

I keep mine at 80-85 F and they seem happy there. I think yours got heat stroke.

I think you may be right. I had them in a cabinet with no air circulation, the 2 seed flat heating mat, Sun Blaze T5 24 a few inches away, with soggy plugs.
I just germinated the last few seeds I had but instead of plugs just used smaller 3" pots and right into Fox Farm Light Warrior. After 24 hours I have sprouts now. I have got the light 17" away, which I would like to have light closer but I'm getting good tempature at this height and they seem to be doing great. Bagseed is coming along, I've topped them already and have used Advanced Nutrients (grow-Micro-Bloom) just below full strength.

I have vegged mine with temps from 70F-77F no light heat and very low humidity(tight space in closet). I heard it promotes female buds. I have no experience but these low temps seemed to have helped a lot with my male/female ratio.
