I tell you it works perfect, I was going to set a 3 foot cube upand grow a coco inddors naga but couldn't be bothered... next year.

hi billyboy
lets see, I use 16oz solo cups,poke a hole in the side about 1/2 inch from bottom of cup,fill cup with peralite/vermiculite mix,poke a hole in medium with a pencil,cut trim clones and dip in rooting gel,place in cup and cover with a clear plastic cup for a humidity dome,place on heating mat and wait.
what your useing now,coco is probably one of the best choices for a medium,Im just kinda cheap so i buy bulk peralite and vermiculite...and mix it myself.

What sort of lighting do you give your cuttings?

Hi POTAWIE
compact fluroescent bulbs, cool white bulbs/tubes do very well for seedlings/cuttings/vegetive small plants.
the ones I have now can be found at wally world ,23 watts each @ 1600 lumens..I use 5 in my small little grow box
so 115 watts at 8000 lumens in an area 36"x 30"x24" . :cool:
these bulbs are cheap and have a life of 10,000 hours .
Id much rather have a 4' 8 bulb T5..
but i dont have that much to spend.

Ok, and how close are your cuttings to the light? Just wodering how much light is needed in the cloning stage.

hi POTAWIE
they are about 10-12 inches below the bulbs,I dont think very much light is needed to root plants. more important is the warm temps and high humidity. I think a shop light with good grow bulbs would be fine for cuttings or seedlings.
However ,if you grow alot of seedlings and plant a large garden ,you might consider something brighter.

YEAAAAAAAA!!!! Two little hooks emerging this morning at 4:30 am.

Looks like I am on my way...

Congrats on the sprout AJ:)

Ive just finished building my very own aeroponic cloning station its small scale (20 litre bucket), fits 7 cuttings its up & running! Ive already taken a few Naga cuttings & they are in it now, its a bit of an experiment, Ive gone 10 liters of rainwater with a few drops of supathrive didnt touch the ph I guess it would be around 7ish didnt use any rooting gel or the likes just stuck em in the cut pool noodle discs, the aero thingy will run 24/7 till good roots appear, & the lighting will be on 16 hours. Looking for quick healthy growth of roots :cool:

Ill post a pic later, its time I get some shut eye:halo:
