    You can ditch the dome. I also would change the lighting to 20/4 and not put the plant under 24 hr light. Then check daily until you see roots coming out the bottom and sides of the pellet then transplant to final pot and run it under 18/6 for 4-5 weeks then flower at 12/12. Hitman40

    Does this look like mold or soap scum? (HD pics)
