Day 3 - help

[dwizzlex]

I'm using a 3x3 grow tent with Biobizz soils and 12 lt airpots. My Mephisto seeds germinated in 48 hours (the paper towel method) and have now been placed in their pots (I'm not transplanting). I've put my 450 Viperspectra at full spectrum and the readings are 30 degrees and 60% humidity when hung 24 inches above the pots. Therefore, I'm now waiting for the seeds to pop out the soil and turn to seedlings. How long might this take and am I right to give them plenty of heat and light at this stage? Also, how moist should the soil be? Thanks

24-96 hours some can take a week.resist the urge to go digging if rhey dont pop in 3 days.
A seed/1inch seedling dont need much more than damp.
Good luck n keep er lit

I plant my seeds directly in their dampened grow medium...biobizz lite mix...on heat mat at 80f...covered to form humidity dome...typically up at day 4...

I was wondering whether to dome them when they start to sprout. I was maybe going to use some clear plastic bottles ends. At what point do you do this and how long do you keep them covered? Is it just to keep the heat and humidity high?

im the opposite i start all my seedling in solo cups and pot them up around day 9 or 10 in my autopots also i used to grow with a viperspectra 600w in fact i still own it i recon within a couple of days you should have sprouts sometimes as little as 24 hrs also i grow in coco but dont drown the little seedling give her some time to get roots established that's why i do the cups there's no way to overfeed a solo

I only dome after planting, and remove after sprouting. I typically use saran wrap so i can easily see moisture condensate. Seems to keep the soil from drying out....when i see green, I remove dome and let her have the available T5. I get 95% germ rate with this simple method.
Sometimes I start in solo cups and transplant, sometimes just start in the pot it'll grow in to avoid possible trans shock.
