Apply Seed Domes and Manage Humidity

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT JIFFY SEED STARTER/GREENHOUSE
What happens here
After planting, cover the trays with the clear plastic seed domes provided in the Jiffy kits. These domes create a greenhouse effect, trapping humidity and maintaining a moist environment crucial for germination. Place the covered trays in a protected area with semi-light conditions, avoiding direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can overheat the mini-greenhouse and 'bake' the seedlings. Once the seeds sprout, gradually introduce them to sunlight, slowly acclimating them to outdoor conditions. Ensure proper watering; if excess water accumulates in the bottom of the tray, pour it off or leave the dome uncovered for a day to prevent mold growth, as overly wet conditions promote mold and can kill seedlings.
Goal: Cover the planted trays with clear plastic domes to create a humid environment. Place in indirect light until sprouting, then gradually acclimate to sunlight while monitoring for and addressing excess moisture to prevent mold.
