not quite. propagating seedlings keeps them healthy as they are extremely fragile, and the root system is still very primitive. it also helps keep a steady environment at the crucial stage of their growth. while not needed, it is highly recommended. this is why gardeners all over the world use them for seedlings of almost every plant type.
I can offer nothing but an anecdotal counter to that, in that we have a very large vegetable patch, and always have, and we have never in our lives used any form of dome, everything grew perfectly, and i never used a dome on a single cannabis seedling and every single one did perfectly. I will stand by my point and say there is no reason for domes for seedlings. If your grow environment is so out of whack that a seed can't grow, then you should probably shut the grow down and correct the issues, not just use a dome as a bandaid. Half of building your grow op is making sure it offers a suitable environment, and if your environment can't even grow a seedling, then you have serious issues with your grow cab.
you are completely, totally, missing the point. at no point did i say i cant grow a seed without a dome, all i said is i always use a propagator. just because your method is successful, doesn't mean everyone else is wrong. you have your ways, i have mine. no need to go bashing other people's tried and true methods because you don't use them. my method works, and thousands of other people use the same method, that is why propagators are made, that is why they say right there on the box they are used for seedlings. so why, if it works, would you be against people doing it?
Like it or not huge numbers of growers happily grow from seed without domes, because they are not needed.
This has nothing to do with "it works". Of course it works. The point is that it is completely unnecessary. I just love that you're request for proof that it was not necessary was for me to show you a garden centre that doesn't want to make a profit. Fucking brilliant.
For the sake of argument, I’ve done it both ways and neither seemed to be more efficient than the other. Clones is a different story. I guess it really boils down to preference, at that point there really is no right or wrong, it’s just the way you like to do things. I never germinate in paper towels, I go straight to soil, some people only germinate in paper towels, again, preference. I can’t say the paper towel method sucks and is a waste of time because I don’t do it, it’s just not the way I do things. I feel preference gets over shadowed by technique or science, neither of which have anything to do with preference. The ultimate goal is to make it to harvest, and if either method gets you there successfully, no harm no foul. I agree with both sides because at the end of the day, it’s the way you “ prefer “ to do things. You both make valid points, and that’s what should be taken from it.This has nothing to do with "it works". Of course it works. The point is that it is completely unnecessary.

Indeed, he is doing nothing "wrong", but he is doing unnecessary things. Seedlings do not need domes. Go start a poll if you're that convinced that they do.
Heated prop for seedlings, fucking lol. Way to waste your money
You appear to be one of these growers who wants to do anything they can to attempt to turn it into a science as opposed to simply the act of growing weed. Do you sell by any chance?
