Humidity Dome - Page 2

The latter...They are in those flimsy plastic inserts with strain stakes sticking up a bit higher...so the plastic is kinda, sorta tented. Moisture is definitely forming on the wrap. Oh yeah...and they are in a flat and sitting on a plant propagation warming pad.

that make any sense?

Got it. Thanks, underarock. It makes sinse. Perfect sinse.

Actually, I guess it would be similar to the same principle for cloning Keep 'em moist but let 'em come lookin' for it.

Sounds good. I will add one thing, whenever I place my seedlings directly onto my propagating mat, it cooks the shit out of them. Not sure if mine is a piece of crap, or if that is common, but it happens everytime for mine. I usually just raise it off it an inch and it solves the problem.

Thanks....Interesting, thisbudzforyou. I'll try raising it a bit, just in case.

fuck a propagating matt!

out here in the real world the earth is almost always cooler than the air...guess that depends on the time of year though.

i feel as long as the environment they are in is controlled properly you wont need all those gizmos.

i never put seeds/seedlings in a humidity dome.

i rarely put clones in a humidity dome

if i need to add humidity to my old cloner i just stuck skewer sticks in the corners and saran wrapped it.

otherwise if you want a giant humidity dome go to wally world.

sterilite containers are clear. come in every shape and size... they make the perfect cloners/propogaters/domes whatever. they are DIY fodder for sure.

I agree with ya, for seedlings and clones, the mat usually isn't needed. But if i didn't use a humidity dome for my clones, they would be dead for sure. The humidity where I have my clones is about 20%, they wilt and die without the dome.

the rh in my cloner is 20% with the dome ON! lol.

its dwc though, which is what i attribute my success to.

Well, I guess I can only speak for what works for me. If I had 20% RH for my clones, they would be laid over in no time. Mine almost always root with in a week, so thats good enough for me. Not gonna fuck with whats not broken.

true that... winter here is dry as a bitch.

when i clone in low rh they take for fucking ever to root... but they root nonetheless, and alli got is time. so no biggy there.
