This package only includes germination domes and bottom trays. This product DOES NOT include the Epic 6-Cell Trays.
Epic 6-Cell Germination Domes and Bottom Trays are designed to fit perfectly on top of Epic 6-Cell Trays. Our clear domes will help increase seed germination rates, and germination time, and increase plant growth overall.
Our bottom trays allow you to bottom water your seedlings and start seeds indoors without any mess.
Increase Plant Growth
Germination domes create the perfect microclimate for seeds to germinate. Domes, bottom trays, and heat mats can be combined to create the benefits of a germination chamber, no matter what the ambient temperature is.
If you have seedlings growing slower due to cold temperatures you can use the germination domes to increase temperature and humidity at the tray surface. This can be a useful strategy for gardeners with heated or unheated greenhouses.
Designed to Last
We produce our domes and bottom trays using thick PVC plastic to ensure that they can withstand high greenhouse temperatures and exposure to sunlight. The domes are resistant to cracking and should give you many years of use.

How To Use Germination Domes & Bottom Trays
- Fill your Epic Starter Cells with a seed-starting mix, and add just enough water to moisten the soil, but not waterlog it.
- Dig a small hole with your finger, a pencil, or a chopstick. Ensure the hole depth is not more than 3x the width of the seed.
- Drop your seeds in and lightly cover them with starting mix.
- Add a light misting of water from a spray bottle, or just enough to moisten the seeds.
- Place the germination dome over the top of the Epic Starter Cells to promote high humidity conditions that seeds love.
- Place the bottom underneath the Epic Starter Cells.
- Place your cells on a sunny windowsill or under a grow light, and keep the soil moist as the seeds begin to germinate. Once sprouts come up, remove the plastic dome cover.
- Keep the healthiest seedling and remove extras with a pair of scissors, being careful not to damage the healthy seedling.
- Continue to keep the soil moist as your plant grows. When it’s 3 to 4 inches tall, easily pop out your starts and transplant them in the garden.
