Ok well I have been in lala land and didnt know there was still conversation going on here, but I am glad.

My foaf put the timer on for one 15 minute period per 24 hours. The plants arent looking any better however...The cubes arent soaked, no water drips from them now when I lift them out.

The leaves are rather "rough" and are getting twisted me thinks from awkward laying whilst drooping.

In my FOAF's infinite wisdom he desided to top them in there period of turmoil. (last night)

Temp inside the container is actually a little bit less than the surface. About 77-78. The holes for air hoses and what not let air circulate well Im guessing.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
