Zone 8a. Mid-March is usually the latest frost we'll see around here


You're right on target then. Most seeds should be planted 6 to 8 weeks
before the last frost.

Ah. Didn't do that, although I'm only about 2-3 days off from when
everything sprouted

Definitely take off the lid. It'll help with air flow, and if there's a
lot of condensation on the lid, it may be cutting down some of your
precious light.

I'll try that - will a ceiling fan running in the room work?

I'd try a small oscillating fan closer to the seedlings. I have mine
set up in a closet, so a small fan is sufficient to keep air
circulating around the plants. If it doesn't oscillate, I wouldn't
point the fan directly at the seedlings as it might dry out the potting
medium faster.

Another thing I do is to surround the planting trays with a small
"wall" of aluminum foil, which bounces more light back on to the
seedlings. This definitely helps with the seedlings I place on a sunny
window ledge, as I don't even have to turn the trays around -- the
seedlings no longer lean toward the sun when the light is reflected on
them.
