The build is a typical Rubbermaid bin type setup with a clear dome. I've been adjusting and tweaking since not last Thursday but the one before. my first clones where done in the jiffy tray kit. They turned out good but I thought it took to long to get roots showing. (maybe that was just me) I have tried the standard garden center variate rooting gel and the powder in this new setup. I thought the powder worked better despite what my hydro store guy said. But now I think it was just to damp on the stem. I turned it down to its lowest setting and they started looking happier with that. I keep reading and reading but cant seem to find a consistent guide to fallow. I know every system is different and climates, lighting set ups etc. I'm a bit of a control freak and have everything set up to be fairly consistent in general.

For starters I got instant wilt and most of them turned a dark dark green. I attributed that to to much moisture up top. so started leaving the top part at about 60% humidity. Apparently I was wrong because after a few days i left the top side humidity at or above 90% and a few of them stud up. I'm using 2 23w 6500K cfl's @ 20-24" above. I was using dbl 48" t-12 grow lux bulbs at about the same distance. I changed the set up to consolidate on space. My main concern is that I really really really need to take clones asap. I'm behind already. I put the recommended does of DNF root.... um.. something (I'll get that info in tomorrow) in the water. But that was just last Thursday. I was keeping the water temp down between 70 & 74 now I'm keeping it around 80. Less oxygen saturation this way but seems to be what I've read. i put several drops of hydrogen peroxide in every other day or so to compensate for the temperature. I think its 3% or something. I'll confirm that tomorrow also (its only the regular strength stuff not the 27 or 30 % stuff) . I PH the water to 5.7 after nutrients.

Main thing is I need to dial this in asap to at least 75% success rate. Which it may not be to far off if I don't count the first batch I tortured. If its not to terrible to take clones in the first week or two of flower then that really relieves some pressure.

I'm rambling and loosing focus cause its 3:30am. I'll continue tomorrow.
