How do I control the humidity?

Troubleshooting
Mold or fungal growth appears.
Increase ventilation by opening the dial ventilator more. Improve air circulation and ensure the growing medium isn't too wet.
Seedlings are leggy and weak.
Ensure adequate light. Provide more light or move the kit to a brighter location.
Poor drainage.
Check the drainage holes are not blocked. Ensure the base tray isn't holding excess water.
