thanks, CR..the set-up is t-5 with dome/tray/mat.
yes, there is currently a dome on it..do you not do this?
I've always let my seedlings breathe. The only time I use a dome is for cuttings that aren't sitting in water.

so then humidity is NOT a good thing?
As long as the medium doesn't dry out, I've never had a problem. Ambient humidity here can be under 20% indoors, single digit outside. The localized humidity from it sitting in a wet tray I'm sure is more than enough. Bitch has roots.. if it's thirsty, it can drink.
perfect is between 50 & 60?..i'll adjust the vents but want to continue experiment humidity is at 90%/81F
and you know can be problematic because those little plugs dry quick.
i lost 2 clones due to plug dryness last round.

I would say a high humidity is not good for seedling. 40-50%. would work. A high humidity in which a dome can create is great for cuttings and when I say high I mean 75% RH

90% is too high schuylaar. You are hating the poor seedling right now

Its not whether or not you need a dome so much. Its more maintaining the soil, temperature and humidity levels that your babies want. So if your house is excessively dry or you must be absent from caring for them for a long time, a dome might be useful.
If overdone, it could be deadly.
Create the environment that particular plant wants and it will be all it can be.
i'm DTW..not soil.
