Cover seedling for increased humidity?
krogorstarted grow question 8mo ago
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)?

Unless you are in a very arid region, you shouldn't need a dome for a seedling. 20-30% rh might be wise to put a dome on and cut soem holes in it until it is an appropriate RH% for your temperature - vpd chart is a visual aid for this. You want a slightly slower rate of transpiration (i.e. lower vpd than for mature vege or flower) early on, but too slow and you impede growth. I've read different suggestions but .8-.9 is probably fine. I'm usually above that, and the impact must be tiny.
Circulation fan only needs to cause a little jostling of the plant. Definitely don't point it directly at it. A little twitch of a leaf here or there is fine.

Yes, seedlings like it humid and until they have popped just a bit above your substrate, you can remove it or cut a panel out even for mire air flow. I've done seedlings with no fan and they are fine but once they approach pinky-height (or your personal feeling as to when) their stems do benefit from that light breeze, like standing in the wind a little? But dont go crazy and dont run up your electricity needlessly. An half hour or an hour of fan here and there is enough when they are very young. A breeze here and there is beneficial for them though, more natural. Good luck, hope it goes great.

Pre-grow in 1L pots after germ? (Autofl.)Not sure if i should put straight in the big pots after germ.
I’m going to use Batmix, but as this can be overkill of nutritions on seedlings i was thinking either dig a hole in the pot and fill it with lightmix and the rest with batm., or put them in 1L pots of lightmix first?

What should my VPD be for a grand daddy Purple seedling that hasn't developed its cotyledons yet? Currently am hovering around 0.8 to 0.95. Temp around 75/76 F and RH around 68/69%. As far as I understand it, GDP seedlings need the RH to be between 60 and 70 %.Plant. Other

How deep can I bury stalk during transplant?Hi! I'm going to up-size my seedling to a 1 gallon pot this week. How deep I safely bury the stalk? It's currently 7cm from soil to the cotyledons. Could I bury all the way to the cotyledons or is this too much stalk to put under ground? Thanks for your advice👍

Seedling looks the same for the last 3 days.I don't know how this works, but let me try.
My seedling looks almost the same for the last 3 days. Is it ok? or it is a sign of something I do wrong. She spent 1 day in the bucket at 24 degrees Celcius (75F)
Is it called a shock or stress?Week 1

Slowly Adding Seedlings to Veg Tent - Can the method below work??Let's say I have different sets of seedlings that will go into a veg tent 2 weeks apart.
For example, week 1 = first set of seedlings to veg.
Week 3, add to veg tent
Week 5, add the next set.
Is this even legit? Can you just extend the veg period until they all catch up?5y ago

StretchingBecause my seedling stretched a little during her first few days of life, is it safe to bury a small amount of her stem in the substrate when I transplant in a week or two? I'm using coco and perlite 70/30. Actually writing this down made me realize it's probably a stupid idea 🤣
