You'd be better off not pre-germinating and ditch the dome.
A week is long time.

Yeah that’s what I thought way too long

For soil...I start in solo cups, soak the entire cup of soil with water, plant the seed, and leave it alone for literally like 10-12 days. No cover, nothing.

Are they in a warm environment? I find when germinating in fall/winter I need a heat mat or at least a warm surface like the cable box
My position on dig in soil is never do it
You can damage tiny hair like roots and stunt the plant growth

During summer I don’t use a heat mat anymore, I think sometimes it gets too warm. When I do I have it on a timer, 5 minutes on, 5 off. The colder it gets the longer the heat mat on time, but I never just leave it on full time anymore.

A planted seed doesn't need high humidity to sprout........just moist soil.

Hi guys.
I’m reading above some interesting variations of germinating a seed. Personally, I’ve just recently tried a new way that has not been mentioned above, and it works.
I soak the seed in well water (no additives) for roughly 4 hours, the water is naturally 6.0 ph.
I then transfer the seed to a presoaked jiffy pod. The pod was placed in a 3” biodegradable pot with potting soil.
The pod is presoaked with a light mixture of Recharge. Recharge helps to promote root growth.
The seed is them placed under a veg lamp and between 3 to 5 days I had five of five seeds pop.
Great thread and have enjoyed your comments.

Its most likely rotted out by now. You gotta be careful with heat mats if they dont have the little probe thing that measures the actual temp of your medium.

You could start in root riot cubes and 6 packs. Working well for us.

@Jjgrow420 , nice setup. As soon as I saw that dome, I remembered that my x-boyfriend had one stashed away in the barn. Think I'll do a little digging around.
Thanks for the picture.

I just use the dome for cuttings. Seedlings just open air.
