    What ventilation do I need growing seeds? I have a Vitapod propagator.
    Thanks

    Has it got little vents in the top? I'd be inclined to keep them closed until the seed germinate, then open them up after that. It's a balancing act between keeping the heat in and ensuring it's not too humid.

      Another question is, where is the propagator ? Is it inside by a window. If so, you want to be careful you do not turn the propagator into a solar oven. Though if you have a taste for roasted seeds :)

      Automatic ventilation in my greenhouse. Made a small improvement with 2 bottles of beer. Works great

      Is this a propagator? But no ventilation?
