Hey guys,
I'm wondering how to care for my seedling with the equipment I already have; 5x5 tent, 1000w HPS/MH dimmable to 500, 750, 1000. I will be growing in fabric pots with coco/perlite mix. After germinating seeds and planting in Jiffy Pellets, how could I set them up in my tent? I assume I would need to dim the MH to 500w (the lowest it can go) and raising it as high as possible. Would this cause stretching? I have read that leaving them under a ~25 CFL light would be best but I'd rather not purchase another light or a humidity dome w/ heating pad that I'd only use for the first part of the grow.
What would I need to do maintain the necessary temp(72-79) and RH(65-80) for the seedlings?
In a tent without a humidifier, how could I keep RH high?
There is a small dome I saw that I thought I could put inside the tent under the MH light...

Even then how would I keep the humidity high inside the dome? Is this something that will naturally occur with the moisture from watering the plants, with the heat from the light?
