Grow QuestionsDo you poke holes in ur seedling dome cups?

Do you poke holes in ur seedling dome cups?

Tubington9started grow question 3 years ago

When using plastic cups to dome seedlings (never have so just curious) do you poke holes in the cup for ventilation? I’m aware the point is to help increase humidity during early stages which I’d like, but do they need vent holes?

They don't need humidity domes, they are not rainforest plants! They need good air exchange to grow properly and a bit of air movement to strengthen the stem. Humidity domes is an outdated notion from the 1960s when no one knew anything much about cannabis and thought it came out of jungles. Unfortunately this idea has persisted, needlessly, until the present day. I have never in close to 40 years, ever grown seedlings in humidity domes and firmly believe they are absolutely not needed. Only cuttings/clones need humidity domes.

I’ve wondered this also it seems to be very popular , i get that seedlings need humidity but I heaps prefer to use a heat mat with a well draining pot rather than stewing baby root systems in its own juices , I like to draw the roots down looking for that heat and food .

I do. 3 1/8th inch holes. Still keeps moisture inside as far as I can tell.

Buon giorno weed doctors, please help understand the issue, maybe smb has seen this before. I lost two seeds of the same cultivar to the same symptoms...TY Two seeds, same cultivar, 1 week difference, both pop neck bended with white woody spot at the base of one of the cotyledons. Doesn't spray the leaves, the membrane wasn;'t getting off w/o help. And I know it's not substrate - 2 other breeders germinated 100% and look healthy. TY

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Why are my seedlings so leggy when they get enough light?I added pictures from 4 days after germ and wonder why my seedlings are so leggy (~5cm). I already filled it up with soil and they would be 10cm by now if I didn't. First 2 days was 12-14 DLI and since yesterday am giving them more light than many guides say: 250-270 PPFD, 18 DLI

Cover seedling for increased humidity?1. Does it make sense to cover the seedling with a cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) to increase humidity or should i remove it (e.g. for better air circulation)? 2. Should i switch on a fan that moves the air a little bit (pointing it above the plant)?

Is this Shell membrane crucial to life? Will this bag-seed Seedling survive?Will it survive? The seed was pried open with saliva and pruners once it broke soil. I see some brown (what I suspect to be) membrane that maybe needed to stay with the cotyledon.
