seedling humidity 30-40%. will they die.. no humidity dome available

so my seedlings seem to be doing fine in 30-40% humidity. just wanted to get some opinion. Has anyone had this humidity in seedling stage.

well that humidity is low for a seedling, all you need is a clear plastic cup over the plant and soon you'll see mostuire build up and that'll indicate humidty rising. humidity domes are expensive, just go to walmart buy a clear or clear bluish plastic tub n run your seedlin in their till it matures a bit

they will be fine it simply affects your transporation rates (means they grow a bit slower)

PS you can cut the top off a water bottle and put it over em

I wouldn't recommend leaving it like that

Personally, I misted my seedlings twice a day to increase humidity and they came out of it pretty happy

Also, there are ways to increase humidity without a dome. I've used cups of water, wet towels/paper towels that I hang dry in the grow area, misting the planter-pot sides instead of the plant itself....all of these have worked for me

"grow a bit slower" lol if they are slow then i wonder what fast is. i'm wondering if they on steroids or something. no wonder its called a weed!! yea, i mean, from my readings i got an impression that less than 60% and they somehow die and stuff... but mine seem to be quite happy. As long as they keep this growth i'll be happy too thanx for the quick reply guys appreciated

i am misting btw

but i got college tomorow and i won't be in house for like 8 hours soo was just wonderin

spray the shit outta them!

hang a trashbag or small tarp over the top to create some kind of moisture trap if you can

check Target' they have an incubator so does osh cheap and even has a heated mat

my humidity has been between 30 - 40 for the past week and a half and the seedlings started their third set of leaves today.

mine was at 20%, i hav two growin one a little slower than the other cos after i germ'd i planted it upside down(dumb i kno),had to wait for geotropism to take effect.usin plastic bottles now and mistin twice a day,good info guys

i wudn worry about it too much man, my RH only gets to around 30% and my young'uns seem fine,thats 10days old

Humidity is real important to germinate seeds and throughout the grow process.

YB, your post was not only helpful and informative, but ellogantly put. Well done Lad!!
