Last saterday i planted two flats on onions, watered good and put onto heat matt and coverd with domes.
I think i have plenty of water as long as the domes are sweating, no lights yet.
they are sprouting already my question is when do i need to put under lights and get rid of the domes.
I didint think they would sprout for at least a week its only been 5 days.
thanks

I'd take the heat and the domes off when about half have germinated. They grow well with cool temps.

I pulled off once I seen a few sprouting and the rest followed under the lights.. love the ease of growing them from seed.. probably will give them a haircut soon.. Using some worm tea feeding and so far so good..  |

Most seed charts list bulb-type onion seed counts at around approximately 9,000 an ounce and bunching-onion seed counts at around 12,500 an ounce, so you shouldn't lack for sets. You might even get some business selling some sets locally around where you live. Here's a link for a seed count chart: http://www.willhiteseed.com/PlantingGuide.phpDanny |

Our produce, at the end of the year, is delivered to the merchant, and thus the business of the year is done by barter, without the intervention of scarcely a dollar; and thus, also, we live with a plenty of everything except money."

I offered my extras, about 25, to a new neighbor and was pleasantly surprised that she went straight to work on a bed and had them planted before long. It's going to be fun to have a new gardening buddy.
