Question about Humidity Domes

I started my seeds in a humidity dome and they have come up through the rapid rooters. Temps=82 RH=92
Put them under my T5's 2 foot 8 bulb(only using 4 bulbs right now) about 6 inches above top of the dome.
Should I leave them in the Dome? if so how long. Should I take the top off and put the t5 few inches off the top of them?
When they get rooted enough going to put in Rockwool cube and put in my 3x3 flood and dain table. Not using dirt.
Any advice would be great just not sure about the humidity dome as this is my first time growing indoor.

I would take them out as soon as they are up. Don't put any light source too close because if they grow rapidly and unexpectively the tops may get burned and with new sprouts that would be a disaster.

Will they dry fast in the rapid rooter cubes outside of the dome and my RH will go down to like 45% outside of dome. Will that be fine?

I guess I should clarify my last statement. What I meant to say os that humidity doesn't exist at all. It is a component of the vast left-wing, climate-change bullshit that Ted Nugent was talking about. How can air hold up water? Just fucking nonsense.

I start my seedling in the rockwool using the mini-greenhouse. If there is room in the table at the time I start them in the table. Humidity domes are good for cloning and starting seedlings. The reason being is that you don't have to worry about the seedlings drying out and they can be safely left for a week or so without watering. I have started cutting my rockwool into 2" x 1" x h" cubes.

The rain that falls from the sky is water built up in the air.

Using a dome to start seeds is overkill.Leave them to germinate in a paper towel overnight then put into your preferred growing medium.Domes are handy for cloning though,they keep the humidity up which is a must for your clones to survive.
Best of luck lad

You could also lightly water some dirt, put the seed in twice as deep as it is long, and wait a couple days. So reliable that even Mother Nature prefers it.


Don't go digging for it.

Exactly my point, the air cannot hold water and so it falls out of the air. Humidity is a conspiracy designed to keep you enslaved to a facist, neo-liberal thought controlling nanny state. Don't be deceived, humidity doesn't exist. Simple.

LMAO what the hell? isnt there a political conspiracy section here? anyway domes are only good for new clones n rooting clones, soon as you see the roots yank it outta the dome and put that sucka in a pot and under a light.....no humidity LOLOLOL

Baaahahahahahaha. I should get you hooked up with my friend who thinks gravity doesnt exist.

I've tried to explain gravity to my dad. He insists that there is no such thing and it is the pressure from the air that holds everything to the ground. It is the only arguement that he will get totally PO'ed.
