Troubleshooting
Condensation buildup is excessive.
Slight condensation is normal. If it's excessive and dripping heavily, briefly lift the lid to allow some moisture to escape, or consider opening a vent if your seed tray has one. Ensure the lid is not in direct, intense sunlight which can overheat the interior.
Growing medium appears to be drying out.
Ensure the lid is seated correctly on the seed tray, creating a good seal. Check that the seed tray itself is not damaged or warped. Water the medium gently if it has dried excessively.
Lid does not fit the seed tray properly.
Verify that you are using a standard-sized seed tray. This lid is designed for common dimensions; non-standard or custom trays may not provide a suitable fit.
