    My new hydro setup (ebb/flow)

    Ok I honestly dont know squat about pretty red and blue lights so my first step would be is to get just a couple 20w cfl's and put overhead, that is plenty of light. Are they on a heatmat? Temp inside dome should be roughly 75-80, ours range from about 78-81 the way the stat is set. Here is a trick my GF came up with .... take your cuttings and put under dome, slight mist of water, soak a hand towel and wring it out till damp and roll up and put inside dome, put lid on. My last clone run I did was done that way and never had to water the clones, the towel kept moisture inside dome. Did those come in Rockwool or you put them in it?? We use Rapid Rooters now, started with RW but to many possible problems with salt and such. RR's are 100% organic and no salt problems plus faster root time. I believe under Basic Growing there is a sticky by Stinkyattic entitle Growing the Dankness or something close to that, about 1/3 of the way through there is a cloning part ...... good info :thumbsup:

    1 thing to remember is dont rush them. They can survive on plain water till roots come out and when you start with the nutes start out SLOW so you dont cook them :wtf:

    Just took another look at the pic and it looks like they are dry as hell. Humidity is key to cloning. That and temp they pretty much go together

    Thanks for feedback, in a nut shell:

    No heat mat but temp under dome is right at 80. Yes I put them in rockwool, thats what hydro store/guys gave me so did not know better. Since you said little dry I went in a sprayed them with little mist/bottle. Thanks again for feedback will give an update in couple of days.
