Seedling moisture dome vs ventilation

hey guys I have 6 seedlings that are two days old, they are under 2x 200w fluroescent lights and in a dome to keep in the moisture. Correct me if i'm wrong but, i had a thought, If they need fan ventilation to circulate the co2 in vegging stage would it help quicken the grow process from seedling to vegging if i put a fan on them and get rid of the dome? wouldn't it also strengthen the stems right from the start? or is the humidity a must? what If i even went half/half? I want to experiment but don't want to fuck them up. I wanted to know of or if anyone else has allowed them to ventilate from sprout?

ps. they have their first set of 'true' leaves'

-Peace! :leaf:

i lose the dome after they sprout. get lights close and get a fan set up or they will stretch.
 
My lights are close enough and almost touching the dome. hahah Awesome, because some people keep the dome on for around two weeks of growth, or is that just clones? but yeah I wanted to break the ole fan and ventilation out pretty soon. thanks mate.

Some people do keep there domes for up 2 weeks on seeds, I wouldn't recommend it though seeds don't really need the moisture like clones do. Clone don't have roots so there only way to get the things they need is through their leaves.

Personally I don't even use a dome for seeds, I just sprout in paper towel until I get a root then I transplant to soil and just keep the soil moist and warm until they break the surface.
