When the pale yellow shoots have reached the rim of the tray, take the dome off and put under lights. Then water once a day. Ready to harvest in another 4-5 days. Sometimes I find a bad pea that's causing a spot of mold and I pull it out of the tray. Definitely give them darkness in order to germinate though.

Thanks, Lyn. I will try fussing over them less. How closely do you space the peas? Mine were single layer but touching.
