I have the seed starting kit for the Sprout and a little disappointed with humidity dome. It's one single piece for 15 seedlings so it's useless if seeds are germinating at different times.
I'm curious to know what the humidity domes look like for the other models. I searched online but didn't see any. Can anyone comment or have pics?

I have never seen a cover for the Seed Starters. I have one for a Sprout and a Large machine and never had a cover.
From what I remember reading, they do not give any for the seed starters.
Also, if you want place some saran wrap over the tops to create humidity.

I didn’t get a humidity cover with the Sprout starter tray. Do you have a picture?

I think I may have mistaken some of the packing material for a humidity dome. Here's a pic.  And here's a link to someone else who had the same idea with a larger model.

Yeah I think that is the packaging so the pods do not fall out.

That’s funny - I wish I had thought of that! None of my seed starters (for 3 different types of units) have come with any kind of dome. Great idea!

I assumed that the clear ‘lids’ for the seed starter systems were for two purposes.
1 - to help protect the sponges during shipping.
2 - to stand the (wet) starter tray in while cleaning or refilling the water reserviour, since the starter tray doesn’t have a water filling hole.
The seed starter tray lid for the Harvest machines doesn’t have a cut-away at the back to go around the light pillar, so it’s definitely not designed to use as a propagation cover. (A lot of people on amazon UK seem to make this mistake and leave bad reviews for the starter tray as a result).
I also saw a youtube video on the starter tray that said to remove the upper pump tube that normally directs water into the cover and down into the sponges, as the seed starter system isn’t really designed to drip water into the top of the sponges, and failing to remove the upper pump tube will result in water forming a ’fountain’ above the starter tray. Another thing a lot of the poor Amazon reviews seem to indicate.
