Why 4 in one bucket? I also run bubblers and I do 1 plant per 10 gallon bucket. Also, I used to use a humidity dome as well. I lost a lot of seedlings due to dampening off. I know longer use the dome. I put my germed seed right into the cube and off she goes.
 
High Five Jibblerjoe!!

Take domes off babies when you see them come up! I'm happy for you. Practice making a cup of water at ph 6.00 the plants will take off for you! :p
 
Only two plants in the pic. , I got anther bucket plan to split em up once Theyes have some roots only got 1 pump for top feed. Be 1 per bucket.

Yes make sure spray is soft and at 6.00 PH. when you are done checking plants give them a spray. Domes are more for keeping heat in on the seeds .

Don't really think this is necessary. Your ph should be 5.8 and there isn't a need to spray those babies. That top drip will be plenty until the roots drop. In my bubblers I don't even top feed. I put some water from my bucket ph'd at 5.8 of course and pour that over my cube about once a day until roots drop. You're top feeding so hand watering isn't necessary and spraying them is a waste. My humble 2 cent.
 
Also the domes aren't for retaining heat it's for increasing humidity around your babies. More beneficial for clones.
 
I'm probably going to catch heat for this but here it goes. Its my understanding dimmable ballast are, I hate to say a waste but for lack of a better term I'll go with that. So, here's my understanding...the light has to burn at a specific temp in order to great the correct spectrum. By dimming the ballast you limit the power going to the light which in turn changes the temp of the bulb. I was given more detail on the subject but that's the meat and potatoes. I'd use distance to control intensity. I'd top that light out and lower it according to growth. You're ladies will talk to you. I'm sure some more experienced growers will jump in on this. I hope to learn something on the subject.
