Dear Allan,
nor have I....
But I would probably try a big aquarium heater ( 50 - 100 W) in a 10 -
+More
20 liter bucket and make sure the the water is aggitated somehow and
make sure that the bulbs/tubers do not touch the heater.
I will inquire how they do it in a commercial nursery.
Best,
Bernhard.
