How am I doing so far? 1st grow in 7 years.

Ok, few of the clones have kicked the bucket, but for the most part the rest seem rather content. What are some ways of upping my humidity in the dome? Should I get a heating mat/pad?

Also while I was out and about the other day I saw some large togo containers, used for banquets and such. The bottom is a disposable tin and the top is a clear plastic dome, these two pieces snap together. Would a more secure seal around the dome and tray be beneficial in anyway?

I have not and will not check for roots for another week or so, I figure after ten days I will check.

appreciate all the feed back.

I didn't have an heat mat so i go 2 inch thick foam and placed it under the tray and that keep it warm enough.

Have you tried getting a spray bottle filled with water and spraying them often to increase humidity?

 

[aceofspades]

I do spray them, 2 times a day really well when Im not home as much but when I am home I am spraying up to 5 times a day, whenever the droplets from the dome dry up. My humidity is at 50%, temps around 72 degrees F.

also, not to be a cheapskate, but the clones that died is there any possibility of re-using the rapid rooter plugs? I just do not want to have to go buy more and possibly raise anyones attention...

Heres a few pics of my plants back in the day! Enjoy

some ultimate moonshine

some romulan possibly? I dont remember

Can I grab any old heating pad or should I look for one that is for a cloning dome? I lifted teh tray up today and see no signs of roots, the plants that still look perky a few of them the tips of the leaves are starting to burn.. i guess is a good word for it.

Thanks

Ok so my success so far has not been great, but today (10th day ) I pulled the tray to look for roots and ONE has a few roots, exciting for me! So how long do you all wait to plant the clones that have shown roots?
Heres a few pictures of said clone.

ok so I built a bubble cloner ( thanks to thundurkel for the post ). Here are a few pics, one of the whole room and one of the bubbler.

Also still stoked about the roots above!

Clones tend to root fastest if with high humidity, but I have seen rooms of clones do very well with 80 percent humidity. It is funny, every grower finds their own balance with their gardens. So, whatever works for you is the best!

 

[aceofspades]

Appreciate the responses! I Have had decent luck with 24/7 lighting, just fluros, and using a dome and the RH has been around 80% and the temps are about 75 degrees F. SO I think I have found a way that works for me for the time being.

I appreciate all the tips people have offered along the way!

A couple days and that one will be fine.

It is best to wait for the rockwool to dry out a bit, then transplant it into a well watered new container, the roots will love it, and start spreading themselves
