This complete system includes four agritape heating mats an adjustable dial thermostat ground screens and all appropriate cords and temperature sensors.
It creates an extremely uniform precise temperature over the entire surface of the heating mat.
It is a flexible and easy to use system that can be rolled up and easily stored when not in use.

Either buy a heat mat with a thermostat or germinate in a smaller room.
