I have found that lower temps improve germination rates.
If you think about where your genetics originated from and then look at the soil temperature for that region of the Earth, you will see below 70F temperatures.
Check map pic and the legend picture below. If you notice that most of the USA has temps around 50F to 65F.
that would make not much sense.. might slightly some sense. most new hot gear originates from a indoor grow room. the more landrace a strain is then I would try to mimic its origins
I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE GIVE COMPLETELY STONED RANDOM ADVICE
Okay..after i got seeds to sprout and put in rw cubes. I put the cover on tray with holes completely closed or will they need to be open a little? Going under t5 immediately. You said remove dome after they reach a couple inches tall?? Or am i misreading? Thx bud! Any help or feedback appreciated..never use seed only clones previouslyvangs first off I'd make sure not to overheat them with the heat mat..... mid 70 degree temps in the media is
what I shoot for.....I like to use heat mats as well......
Cannabis seeds do not need any light to germinate ,just a little warmth and moisture
Some people always germinate in paper towels,then transfer the sprouts into their preferred media
This is not my preferred method ,but a lot of growers germinate seeds this way with very good results.......
They will definitely need light from your T5's as soon as they emerge from your starter cubes
That dome needs to come off as soon as they emerge or you'll run the risk of them stretching and getting gangly....
THANKS FOR ANY HELP OR INFO..SEEED GREEN HORN HERE! I am waiting any responses and checking regular. PEACEOkay..after i got seeds to sprout and put in rw cubes.

Cool! Thanks mayo! Another question for you. Unfortunately the only domes I have are like 8 inches tall or 7ish maybe..idk. you knw what i mean I'm sure. Will t5 sitting directly on top of that be close enough? I got my beans to pop and put them in 1"rw cubes &delicately covered them with lil pieces of rw yesterday. The temp in room is ranging from 68-75ish. Have other clones i got in 4 " cubes also so trying to get my co2 burner going in there aswell which is sure to warm up room a bit. Humidity has been 50-65ish so far. Any advice on temp,humidity and co2 levels appreciated from anyone who's reading this. Followed Capulator's advice on getting them this far and been GREAT. THANKS CAP!I don't think Wayne posts on here much anymore that thread is a few years old. But to answer your question you can crack the vent on the dome a little but not much. I'd leave the dome on till they are at least a couple inches tall. Seedlings are very delicate and the extra moisture in the air from the dome really helps them in the first few days. Some seedlings are a little stronger and don't need the pampering but to max out your survival rate you need to keep conditions optimum. I usually leave the dome on till I see the third set of leaves start to poke their heads out. You can pull it earlier but that always worked for me.
AWESOME! SO FAR, SO GOOD! Blue dream looking nice already. Now waiting on the Bub Gummer, Burmese and Royal flush :) CANT WAIT..YUM YUMS.. LOL Thanks for reply though. Got my co2 kicking and its definitely helping keep temps up in there as well as humidity. Looking forward to having some pretty moms Mayo. I'm sure I'll be back to ask you more.THANKS FOR EVERYONE'S HELPThat will be close enough. I have an eight bulb 4' t5 that sits approximately 1' above the dome and it works just fine. The dome will also keep the temps up during early germ/growth. Sounds like you are gonna be fine.
