Seeds won't germinate

The more input I kept giving my plants during my first grow only hurt them(nutrients, water and constantly touching and moving). My second grow I gave them very little input (nutrients, water, touching and moving only when needed) and my results were night and day.

Awesome! I'm not messing with nutrients or any of that, going minimalist..Well except for more lights!

I did the same thing. Over thought everything. Gardening should be almost worry free and enjoyable. Less is more.

I'm using a Jiffy greenhouse from Walmart with a heating pad to germinate all of my seeds even to root my clones and pepper plants

Air venting will ensure quicker rooting and no fungus. My VCBD-hybrid sativas for example just took to roots in 2 weeks and 2 days. My RX-hybrid indicas are just behind with the first one rooted 4 days later. I confirmed with a call that my permit is in mail. So I collected all the herbs at my friend's and they now sit beautifull in my grow. (One 6'x6'x2' box for twiggs, clones and vegging and one for budding).
*Also...as a rule if the leaves continuously touch those domes for too long the leaf will begin to rot on the twig. They may not grow correctly and will stunt the plants overall growth wasting your time. One herb actually topped itself at the third node in it's first pot. ...Not good.
Lots of moisture is perfect...great job!
*These seed starter trays were bought for my garden outdoors in the avatar. I cut 4 holes in the four corners to let air in and out. Yes...as a result they do dry quicker and need mysting more frequently so the leaves stay green. But with rooting in two weeks...I'm okay with that. (www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/narrow-seed-tray-lid-only/flats-trays-inserts) and (www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/narrow-seed-tray) and (www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/standard-garden-tray-black/flats-trays-inserts).
*The biggest difference I noted when testing how to clone is; "the transition" ...from a high moisture environment to their first pot ended in higher level of shock and some died unless they were "eased in to it". Meaning...one to two hours without the dome daily till they stop flopping over. Resulting test: when the 4 holes were cut into the dome. Yes...it did absolutely have less humidity and more brown and yellow leaves. But they now take 3 wks at the longest to get roots and they can go into their first pot rith away. A full wk and a half earlier to get roots. This time translates to more Vegging time if needed and I can trim brown or yellow leaves and raise the soil past the damage. (If the herb is not having to repair damage they will move into Vegging quicker and save time.
