Glad to help you out. I dome mine to sprout. I don't do what KA does w germinating on a plate. No good at my house. What I do is plant half the seed in and leave the other half exposed, I plant in my lil6ers and put them in the tray with the dome partially open, on a heat mat under the lights. As I said I usually start seeing spouts anywhere from 4-14 days give or take. Take your plumptiest seeds first. In the end then I will sprout whatever I have left if I have limited room in my trays. I have 2 heat mats and I don't have room for more. Since we are still in extreme heating season the dome helps keep things moist enough as my grows are in the basement. Cooler of course, but still forced heating.
Can we just jump to Feb?
