question about dome on seeds

Hey everyone, thank you for all the help I have got on here. I hope everyone has a great holiday season. I have 2 autoflowers seeds that I placed in small cups with soil. I have them under small watt CFLs. The temp is around 80 in a small grow box. I have get very low humidity in my area. Its at 30% in my grow box. So I placed a plastic baggies over each cup to keep the humidity up. So my seeds have started to sprout, you can see the shell starting to come up thru the soil. Should I leave the humidity dome on for alittle longer till the sprout grows alittle taller or remove them now?

im not holding my breath but as soon as you see green i was told to remove the dome.. im in the same area as you with my beans xD just waiting to see them grow and to see some green leaves.

Thank you for the reply. I dont see green yet, I see the the shell starting to come thru the soil.

Yeah, chiefsirbong420 is right, as soon as you see the cotyledons open (and the seed shell is off), it's time to remove the dome. Works 100% of the time for me, but I actually remove the dome after the leaves are open and I can identify the "real" serrated leaves. I also have low humidity, between 10%-30% usually, so having a dome before they sprout and start to "process" light helps them pull through with no issues.

thanks for backing me up i do what i can with the things ive learned!!! im awaiting my beans to pop as well i got ziplock bags over em for a dome!!! i heard it works really well

I cut slits in the bags. I wait until real leaves start and then remove for a few hours one day, a few more the next, etc to get them acclimated. Not saying it best, just what I do after having fried a few cots.

yeah I did the same thing with my babies in the cup put bags over them last night and boom the are like 1/4 now and was thinking when should i take them off too ...I took three of them off but going to leave the other two bags on for few more hours but yeah I just posted about this few mins ago ... mine have been on less then 24 hours and only 2 where starting to break soil when I putt the bags over them last night and planted like 2-3 days ago in fox farm starter seed soil
