You don't need a humidome with seeds, just cuttings.

well, a humidity dome can be useful for germinating in soil, but once the seed shell has been shed, you should remove it and let the leaves breath the co2.

Yep, they need to be removed as soon as the seedling breaks soil.

If you don't have domes, I just use a zip lock bag over my cup and make a dome out of it.

I have never use a dome for seedlings, and I have never had a seedling die, now im NOT saying dont use one, just that I dont use em.

Clones, now thats a different story, a dome is a must.
