Seed trays of mixed seedlings Solved

I’ve always removed the lids on seed trays when the newly emerged seedlings are five days old and sprayed them daily thereafter. What do you with mixed species/varieties which germinate at different times? Keep the lids on until they have all germinated? I’d be grateful for advice thanks.
