What does plant undercover mean. Inside with a plastic lid?

For Gardenate : Young seedlings can be affected by sudden changes of temperature. To prevent this seedtrays are usually kept under cover for a few weeks. Any area which mantains even, frost-free, temperatures 24 hours will do. e.g. Unheated greenhouses, a covered area close to the house, or small frames covered with frostcloth or with a piece of fabric like old bed sheets. If possible put the trays above ground level. Too much strong sunlight can do as much damage as cold nights to seedlings.

That is how I planted mine and I had 2 vines probably 40 to 50 foot spread, 1 vine each pot.

If you read the notes here it says plant 45-75cm apart. Your pots are 80cm diameter.

What accommodations should I make for growing Luffa in 8b?

We live in zone 8a and the biggest challenge for us when we grow Luffa is that they climb SO high and fast in the summer. I'd suggest planning on some serious trellising as the Luffa gourds get pretty heavy before they dry out.
