As the title says, When should i take suran wrap off the cup of my seedling? I planted 6 seeds yesterday, 2 of them sprouted, should i take the suran wrap off as soon as they pop up or till they cant grow any higher??

I thought they needed to breath so to take the suran wrap off once they pop.

Make sure it gets some air underneath the edges of the wrap. I take mine off in stages. Once it starts showing some green and gets a leaf or two take it off for an hour and put it back on. Next day do the same thing but for two hours etc. The little plants need to harden up gradually and get used to not having the covering. Its best to start it on the lights out cycle if you use that method.

Isee, a humidity dome. I've tried with and without and see no difference as long as humidity is reasonably high.

I would have thought that you would need to allow at least a little air in now and then. Wouldn't there be a chance that you might promote mold if you did not allow air in on occasion?
