There ya go, I just walked upstairs and took this for you. My humidity is about 10%. I live in the Mojave Desert. Those seedlings aren't a week old yet. But sure keep your humidity dome. I use a humidity dome until the seedlings sprout. As soon as they sprout they go under a T5 and no humidity dome. Mine are in the Jiffy Pellets they were germinated in and the rest of the pot is 50/50 Coco/Perlite

Damn really 10%? Wtf all these different places say high humidity because of the lack of root system yet. I used to live temucula and river side .... my current humidty is 32%

I don't use brick coco because I feel the quality is better in the bag.
The few times that I used brick coco, I first hydrated it with tap water.
Then I rinsed it in a bucket of clean tap water.
I put a couple of handfuls of coco in the bucket of water at a time, swish it around, then scoop out what floats.......the powder sludge sinks to the bottom.
Once I have a bunch rinsed and scooped out I place it in a bucket and saturate it with 1/4 strength bloom nutes ph'd around 6.0 overnight.
Hope that helps.
I plan on using GH flora trio

I think it might have been the water i gave them its tap water and the ph sits around 8.5 and i didnt ph the water befor spraying them the other day
Now you're finally giving us something to work with.
First of all........never give plain water........if you do, pH it to around 6.0.
There is no reason to spray them with anything.
Personally, I would run a weak nute solution pH'd to 6.0 through it.........that medium needs a pH adjustment for sure.

No domes but high humidity!!!
Not in the LA National forest it isn't and these aren't trees these are cannabis. I've grown since 1996 and as you can see the seedlings I just popped have zero issues. Mick and I aren't here asking for help you are. If you prefer killing seedlings please continue

Well
I use my tap, it's 250 PPM mostly Ca/Mg and around 8.4, but keep trying.

I sprayed the coco and perlite to hydrate them not the actaull seedlings

You just can't wrap your head around the fact that high humidity is unnecessary for seedlings........if anything it's potentially detrimental.
You've resisted just about every suggestion made to you.
My flower table is in the chop window. I shouldn't be wasting my time here LOL I have Skunk #1 from Todd McCormick coming down and it smells fabulous. I'm actually looking forward to pulling her she's full on pure pinene smell just in time for Christmas, yum
