Did a search and didn't see a thread on this but I know its been mentioned that we should not turn on airdomes right away. I think the accepted approach is to turn on the air around day 14 earliest.
Just curious what the harm would be if one turned on the air right when a plant sprouts. All I can think of is the air would dry out the medium at the bottom of the pot. So when top watering at first you want the moisture to move down to the bottom by gravity and then the roots can chase the moisture down low and get some nice healthy deep roots. If the lower medium is too dry from the air, then the roots won't go down.
Would that be the reason? Or is there something else going on?
