Seed starter recommendation please

[Bud man 43]

I need a seed starter with humidity dome, preferably adjustable, 12 seed cells and a heating mat.
Any recommendations would be appreciated

Huh? Bud imo thats probably the last thing that brand matters. Go down to the garden center get a solid tray and a tray with drains. You don’t need a dome for seedlings. I think my heat mats are hydrofarm but doesn’t matter imo. Oh i use black gold seed starter mix cause its cheap and works well

Most trays in stores are probably jiffy but the ones i get are pretty thick compared to jiffy and do not come with any name or insignia

Black gold- thanks. Brand definitely doesn’t matter- navigating the many choices- many are probably the same product at different prices- i was just looking for some recommendations on what folks are using.
Crazy price differences for same products

No brainer........no dome or heat mat required.........domes are for clones, not seedlings
Stick seed in hole and place in a drawer.........in 4 days they will sprout.

It might take a while BUT you will find what works for you _ TIP __ if you hsave some bag seeds try to germinate them -practice makes perfect and you will save money due to seeds that you can't germinated THAT you paid for

My grows have been going good- my weak point at this time is healthy seedlings.
Also , in reply to above comments- I thought seedlings do better under a humidity dome?

Seedlings are extremely prone to damping off from humidity under a dome. No domes.

I'm liking Coast of Maine seed starter. Good stuff!

Any heat mat and tray works. Should not need a dome.

Rapid rooters work great and can be planted right into soil once roots start emerging from the sides.
