I fully agree, flouro's are perfect for keeping mother plants. But you don't need anything fancy for rooting clones. I use those "Rapid Grow" pellets and Clonex under a humidty dome (really about the only 'chamber' you'll need) and Dixie cups. I dip the cutting into the jar of Clonex then into a grow cube and then into a Dixie cup (or any very small cup will work) and keep them misted and under the cover all day/night except for a couple 15 minute breaks when they are misted and checked for enough water in the cups. I keep about a quarter inch or so in the bottom to make sure the peat pellets stay wet. They sit under a bank of 3, 2-tube lights that are 40W each or about 240W total. A similar light system is used to keep 4 mother plants in 5 gal pots going in the spare shower. About two weeks later I can start adding soil to the cups so the transition into pots are smooth and extended over a week.
