I have decided to remove the dome fully and reduced the under heat to 24

Personally I think 24 c is still too warm, I would wait a bit, and
then use 20 c , grow them 'slow' you will get better plants

Frankly instead of heating to 24 C she would be better to write off the
plants as a learner's mistake (we've all done it), save her fuel bill,
and re-sow later. Light levels and out door temps will be higher. Then
she can grow sturdy plants under cover at less expense, and have them
at the right stage when it's safe to plant them out. After last frost.

We're in mid Feb; frost-tender annuals will require cover/protection
for at least the next three months.
