Just a single 13 watt tube. Its a Power-glo aquarium light. I looked at the spectrum and it has the best I could find with a spike in the blue but a much smaller (but previlant) spike in the red which I read is the best for plants.

Will do the fixture only costs $17 so might as well. And a daylight tube will be fine? or do I go with another power-glo  |

Also if I put the seeds outside to germinate do I remove the humidity dome? Seems pretty damp in there with it on. The whole thing has condensation on it and u cant see in. I heard a lot about the seedlings dampening off, is that something to worry about more with the dome.

do u have a humidity meter? if not, you should get one at cantire... they are cheap.. 3$... put a %RH and a temp and just watch em... you want high humidity, but not high temps... i find that in direct sunlight i take the dome off, otherwise it gets to like 40C, and in the shade i keep it on.
anywho... see any signs yet?

Well the humidity is about 95- 100%. Lots of condensation on the domes. The temp is up around 90 deg far. Still no action at all. They are all sitting outside on a table. Think they may be duds or is it just me?  LOL |

How long for the seeds now? I think 2 weeks is about right for VFT seeds.

March 20 seems like too long, the second batch may be Ok. Likely the seeds were not fresh enough.
