f you mix perlite and a fine seed starting soil you should be fine...make sure its moist and spray the dome.. in a nursery tray you should be able to do up to a good 125 cuts...once they start rooting you gently pull them apart into a different seedling mat that has individual plugs for each...or better yet..for 5.96 $ you can save your self the trouble and get a 72 site jiffy plug seed starting kit that comes with the domes and everything... out of there i usually get a 98% clone rate..just make sure you lightly squeeze the excess water from the plug befor you put it into the tray..see pics... i did over 260 like this... then i transferred them into 18 site per each nursery tray
Still wondering why this thread isnt sticky yet??!! DLB

Hey grateful
How are ya doing babes? I was checking out this home made cloner last night and thought it looked great. So off I went to Tesco and B&Q to get all the fings I needed. Managed to get em all and merrily drove home to get on with my homemade cloner. Brill. BUT, grateful, just one fing is puzzling me and holding up my progress and that is how on earth did ya manage to cut the "rubbermaid" in the middle?? You know the one which holds the tub up a wee bit from the one with water in it?? Ive tried a jigsaw (fuck it shattered everywhere and I nearly cut my hand off with the jigger when the box bounced out my hands...lol ), Stanley blade... useless, just slipped over the surface, I asked in chat but no one had any good idea's except to put it in the OVEN!!! Can you remember what you cut it with, grateful?? You didnt make a big deal out of it in the tute so i guess it must be easy to do. Id be glad to hear from ya.
love

use a razor blade to cut it in half, or a sharp knife to get a hole started then a razor blade.
or a dremel tool... in retrospect, perhaps I used tinsnips...

The difference is the air supply. If you were to water from the top down, like when using a watering can, the perlite becomes compacted thus cutting off or greatly reducing the air supply. By using evenly spaced out wicks it draws the water up into the perlite without compacting, leaving the full rich air flow, which is the secret to the great performance of this system.
