You can use dome for seedling , they create a cozy atmmosphere helping a lot to deal with moisture fluctuation. But you must avoid direct heavy sun/light , they can turn your dome into a sauna. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170429/ba2dc7d4ad3cfe04e29cd23f507f6693.jpg Cheap solution exist to monitor your soil moisture and PH level.

@Eml081, All day :) minimum of 16 to 18h of light for vegetative state. The shadow thing is a good move. Baby and clone need 5 000–7 000 Lux. Direct sunlight is about 110 000-120 000 Lux, 20,000 a cloudy day. All this light and eat make your road the a perfect start very hazardous and complicated. Next time best way is to start the seed indoor under a low heat/light like neon. 2 or 3 week, 1 week(around) in jiffy/cube, 10-14 day in middle size container. At this point plant can handle heat and direct sunlight.

@neuraxis, many thanks for your text ! I did start with jiffy and moved to the final contaner . I have got a lot of sun during the morning on my balcony and probably seedling suffered a bit . I will try to create a shadow with another plant . Talking about your first link ...how many hours of sunlight should I give to the plant? I have morning on one side of the house and the afternoon on the opposite
