Yes, Plantersville, you do need to keep checking for keeping the soil damp when the plastic comes off. Have you seen Craig Lehooullier's video on starting seeds in this Forum? It is very educational and something I have to refresh myself on each year. I think germination goes down when the plastic comes off and I notice that most of the germination happens when the sun comes through the greenhouse (daytime) so putting the temp up should help germination. But I hate to spend the $$ on electricity.
Hope someone else has ideas how to speed up germination on uncovered trays.
