Question 1: How does this system maintain steady heat compared to a standard heat mat?
Answer 1: Unlike electric mats that cycle on and off causing temperature fluctuations, this system uses a thermal mass chamber. By filling the aluminum base with warm water, heat is released slowly over 72 to 96 hours, maintaining a stable 75-78°F temperature that prevents seedlings from burning energy to adapt to cold dips.

Question 2: Why are the lights positioned so close to the seedlings?
Answer 2: The full-spectrum LEDs are positioned 3-4 inches away to ensure your seedlings receive 100% of the required light intensity. This specific distance overcomes the 'Inverse Square Law' where light intensity drops off rapidly with distance, preventing your plants from stretching, starving, and becoming weak stems.

Question 3: Do I need to mist the seeds or open the dome to manage humidity?
Answer 3: No, you do not need to mist or open the unit. The system features a sealed environment with passive airflow that locks in moisture, keeping humidity at an optimal 70-80% in the root zone. This design eliminates the need for guessing and prevents the surface pooling that typically leads to mold growth.
