Thank you , it feels good to hear that from someone who has grown before. Yes the dome is outside in a corner where it doesn't get direct sunlight and stays in the shade. The sun rise on the front side of the house and angles back over my lawn and I have a big oak tree that provides indirect sun to that spot. It will get some direct light though now that I think of it, like 30-45 minutes worth. Would it be better to stow it in my garage? Which its always humid during the day in there but gets room temp at night
I have never tried cloning outside with natural light. I don't see a reason not o though. But ANY direct sunlight on that dome wont be good. I burnt about 30 tomato plants in the cold frame this year. When completely closed at night the lid gets covered with condensation. It was it cooler and the temps in the frame were good so I was working on my cabinet all morning. I went out at noon and when I opened the frame over half my starts had nasty brown burns and them. I added a layer of black landscape weed fabric to the top to eliminate being direct exposure when the lid was closed. It was actually better. It still gets all (or more heat) and enough direct light filters through the cloth that they exploded with growth.
