is it bad to keep plastic dome on Jiffy pellet tray on when starting seeds ? Also Is it not a good idea to put seed pellet tray on newer freezer or fridge that gets warm on top. .? Got mucho grande condensation and 5 days of no sprouts. Took off Dome today getting nervous don't like to see costly seeds die or not come up.

Some seeds can take days, if not weeks for older seed, to sprout. Warm , but not to warm ....moist but not wet, is tbe idea....76 to 82 degrees in the peat puck. If your getti g that much condensation it may be too warm.

Like cloning, you need to get a feel for the right conditions, and then strive to replucate that.

Any progress? I wouldn't put it on a fridge. Too many variables that can affect its growth.
