I've lived in Charleston, SC and now live in WV. I've been more successful starting seeds using gentle bottom heat in a controlled environment. You don't want too much heat and too much moisture. Suggest you try using a basic plant starter tray either placing it in a safe shady spot outside or warm spot inside. Keep it away from direct sunshine as the heat will dry the planting medium. Gentle moisture and gentle heat are the key.

I think it would depend on how quickly you want your seeds to germinate. All seeds are different but 80 degree soil is generally optimum for tomatoes to seeds to sprout. Here in NC the temps are much lower than that, especially at night so this mat has been a great help. I do not recommend using this mat without a thermostat, it is not effective without that added control. Have fun!

Probably very well. I am on the Oregon/Washington Border, it's sunny most all the time and my elevation is about 350 ft. They like it here!

Unfortunately mine is under an awning so I don't have to worry. I think I would try putting a towel on top on the days that it is going to be very sunny.

I use it outdoors, in humid Hawaii. I have it mounted under my roof's eve and, just in case, I custom made a plastic water deflector over the top of it (mainly protects from dust/dirt and bugs from collecting on top of it). Works perfectly.

I am honestly unsure. I do not want to give you any wrong information. Its a pretty thick dressing so I would assume you would be ok from the sun if you wore this. Thank you.

Yes and know that it's good to use a screen when using the light because it can cause sun cancer another option is getting the Jenna hipp nail polish from costco they have beauitful colors that dry fast one similar to the opi bubble bath color I hope this is helpful

Leaving the unit on stand-by in the sun will charge it nicely. The charge will last for a good amount of time as long as the unit has an open view to the sky and sun.

Yes. I live in Florida where the sun is brutal. I have melasma so it works great without clogging your pores. It is Not waterproof though

I used it in bright sun light with distances under 20 m and have no problem.

Mine works great. My instructions said it arrives partially charged and to let it set in the sun for a full daybefore using. I had a couple of partly cloudy days so I left in on a window ledge where it would get full sun from noon to sunset. After the 3rd day I assumed it had plenty of sun and it works great. Just keep itin the sun during the day if you use it and try to avoid letting it run to empty. Recommendation: Leave it in the full sun for 3 days and then use it again, that should do the trick. If you plan to use it everyday and let it run, I would suggest purchasing at least one more to alternate use. I live in Key West where we also get more than our share of great sun. Good luck.

I have one of these and it's a little work horse! It's still working at 6 a.m. I positioned it at the bottom of my porch steps where it gets sunshine most of the day. I am totally impressed tho I know buying this stuff is mostly luck. I hate to ask, but did you remove the plastic film from the solar panel? Good luck maybe the sunshine just isn't strong enough. I live in the east. WV to be exact.

Yes, in fact almost better! Living in a rainy climate there are rarely enough days of sunshine to activate the Sun-In, but I have been using it successfully for almost 6 yrs with just my blow dryer.

I believe it would Sunny. There was enough room in the case that I could add a shell, with no problems.

As long as you follow the directions on the package and you have adequate amount of sunshine, it should work for you.

Sorry...I live in Hawaii...pretty much nice weather all year long. We don't really have seasons here. The plant did arrive in excellent condition.

I use it primarily at the beach, so there is usually a breeze. I can see where you would be concerned about the dark color. When I hang beach towels and shirts on the frame (I use small plastic clothes pins just the right size for the frame), the extra layer helps keep it cool. Hope that helps.

I use it on the North Shore of O'ahu for surfing pics. It is perhaps the most widely used lens there. Works great in sunny conditions, but tends to struggle when it's overcast as it is only an F5.6. If you plan on using it for indoor sports, it is not "good". It is OK at best.
