Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grow lights not turning on | Loose connection, no power to USB adapter, faulty cable/light. | Check all USB connections. Ensure the wall adapter is working and plugged in. Test with a different USB power source if available. |
| Poor seed germination | Incorrect temperature, insufficient moisture, old seeds, improper light. | Ensure consistent warmth and humidity. Keep soil consistently moist. Verify seed viability. Adjust grow light settings as needed. |
| Excessive condensation in dome | Too high humidity, insufficient ventilation. | Rotate the dome vents to allow more air circulation. Briefly remove domes daily to air out. |
| Seedlings appear leggy or stretched | Insufficient light intensity or duration. | Increase grow light brightness or extend timer duration. Ensure lights are positioned close enough to seedlings without touching. |
