I have a heat mat under the tub for water temp.
That’s it.
Edit: originally I said .50" ID pipe insulation. Its actually .75". After cutting it into sections trim some off along the seam so it closes to .50". Like what would be done to make a ring fit a finger.
I just use tap water. PH is 7.2 nothing else. 100% success. I dont worry about how long it takes for roots. They grow roots no matter what. Some strains faster than others.
I just use water straight from the tap at around 7 too. No nutes or anything. I usually change the water after a week because the pH creeps up and I’ve gotten some weird deficiencies (iron?) at around 8. I could use pH down but I’ve found it easier to just change the water. It’s only a gallon or so.
I find a T on the end of the air hose is enough to saturate the water with oxygen. The water just needs to kind of flow around, the bubbles aren’t even required. Rubbermaids are cheap excellent cloners! No need to fuck around, 100% success.
mmmm I see, yes I always just put the ends in the water. That only gets dangerous in certain scenarios… for example:
The nutrient solution wicks up the stalk of the clone into the light and kills the clone.
Shoot, I found these all around my house and threw them out.
I would like to try my hand and this looks cheap enough to do. I would have had all but the nerf dart but the pipe insulation I have is to big.
