The one condition I did not control well was temp. When I read ranger's comment the light-bulb went off. I was giving them cold water and the room temp was 50-70F, usually on the cooler end. I took some new ones tonight and I'm going to put a heat mat under them with some thing to use as a spacer, so they're not sitting directly on it. Hopefully it will be enough to warm up the interior of the dome.
Good question budbro, I am wondering that too.
I only use water that is in jugs in my cabinet, including my misting bottle. That way the temp is always the the same as the plants. I lost a cutting to the same grayish, blackish
issue early on. I suspected it was too moist and started fungus and rot instead of rooting.
Beats me, but I don't let 'em get too wet anymore...... and Thanks Weezard, I was having heat issues about that time too. That explains it.
