The first two are from one and the second two are from the other one.

Thanks for the foil info makes sense but I never thought about it. I am trying to get some mylar waiting for some funds. I will keep an eye on that!
My 2 shiny pennies?
No gotta save-up for mylar.
But I advise losing the foil fast.
As you increase the light, foil becomes more of a burn hazard.
(And, unless it's glued to a flat surface, so does mylar)
I was using Reflectix which is an excellent reflector but is way too impermeable.
It kept the soil too moist and interfered with gas exchange

White paper plates make excellent, and cheap soil covers.
As do sheets of typing paper,

White terrycloth hand towels work a treat, they breathe and they are washable.:thumbsup:
The texture seems to bewilder Gnats when they attempt to lay eggs in your soil.

Plenty no-budget, choices. Jus' keep thinking.:thumbsup:

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on . Newbie, Need Help!! I started from seed back on July 1st now with all the help from everyone here I am at this point. I have not had any roots pop out the bottom but the roots that are coming out the side of the stg cube hang about 1/4inch past the bottom of the cube. The cubes they are in were probably cut to long, they are about 3inches tall. My question is are they ready to go into the buckets yet and how much hydroton should I place on the bottom of the net pot. I am using DWC, 5 gallon black buckets my Rating: 5
