I've got seeds in that, too. It does have ventilation.

I can take half the lid off. Do you see?

My....thats a very smart propagator ;D....If you are going to be short of space in your propagator...don't put the pots in...just put them on the staging....they will start shooting, but not as quickly as if you gave them bottom heat.

I'll have to do that when the next batch arrive! ;D I will get the old one up and running, though. Thanks for the advice.
