super thrive to help with stress
they all had great roots i chalk that up to the root heating mats i got, i have

lookin good twitch.

what are root mats?

[drudown11]

Theyre heating mats that go under the pots or tray. They raise the soil temperature so that the fragile seedlings or clones have a easier time growing roots.


I use a heating mat when rooting my clones. The only thing you gotta watch out for is sometimes it dries the soil out reaaalllly fast.

yes exactly they are the shit

i put a heating mat under my seedlings and it killed them with nice moist soil..
what is the trick and do you mean a reptile mat? cause that is what i got and it seems to be too hot.
thanks

i bought one for plants... if you use the other ones they get to hot this keeps
the roots at like 88 degrees and they blew up and since the roots are really
developed they are growing crazy

[mainegrown]

probably not a Casa De Pot item though...
i am in a limited supplies enviroment. where did you get yours?
thanks
