Hey guys,

lots of conflicting information out there so just looking for some opinions. Should you use humidity domes when germinating.
I've read a lot of opinions stating that they increase risk of fungi infection and have also seen a lot of guides recommending them.
Is it alright to use them with the windows open? Also is there a a certain specific time to remove the humidity dome?

Cheers guys , appreciate your input.

It certainly can be done. I've seen many growers on these forums get there grows off to a slow start or no start by using domes.
Damping off, mold and fungus are fairly common with this seed starting method. Good luck.

If you do use it for seeds make sure to pull it once they crack the surface.
Damn, This might have been what I did wrong because my first batch of seedlings aren't growing anymore and look as if they're dying. Can't tell if they're damping off or its just the poor choice in soil I made.

I only use humidity domes for cloning, no need for seedlings in my climate.
