Just doing my part as an active member of the MICRO REVOLUTION =]
Went down to my local Walmart and picked up a few items..
2 plastic "shoe box" tubs
reflective duct tape
air stone
air pump
Foam letters from the toy section
A hole saw bit for my drill
Drilled out some holes
You can drill up to 8 holes
Wrapped the tub and top with reflective tape... This will keep the light out. Also added the air stone.. the air line goes into the tub by a small hole I drilled near the top of the tub.
I'm using black foam plugs I got from the hydro shop...
...but you can make your own by using any kind of foam product you can easily find at walmart.
Take your clones, secure them in the plugs, and make vertical slits with a razor just cutting past the skin of the stem.
Dip in rooting powder... or gel... or nothing... you can root clones with just ph'ed water.
The clones in place.. and used the 2nd tub as a humidity dome
In less the a week you should start seeing some root action
You may see some yellowing of the lower leaves, but that's ok.. Once they are yellow, simply trim them.. My theory is that the clones use the stored energy in the lower leaves to stay healthy while they make roots.
In less then 2 weeks your clones won't be clones.. they will be plants ready for transplant =]
Hope this helps anybody trying to start there own personal micro grow =]
peace/love
