Meter is reading 78 degrees and 76% humidity now.
I was wondering what you more experienced people think about my cloning bucket. I have about 3 gallons of water ph 6.0 and general hydroponics rapid start rooting enhancer in there. I put it in a box I had built awhile ago for a single plant grow and mounted one small CFL on the top. I was thinking the box would keep the humidity up? Still unsure about what the humidity will be because the meter in the pics was just put in 5 mins prior to taking them.

Looks good man. I made one out of a Rubbermaid tub and I love it. Started with the 5 gallon bucket and a fish tank bubbler. Worked good. Just needed something bigger so I could take more clones at a time.
Looks good and some what stealthy, I like the DIY stuff people do.....
Thanks, Ive tried cloning for a month now using several different methods with no success. I had trouble keeping the rock wool cubes warm enough. My friend let me use his bucket and he had about 75% success with it. It has a small pump with 1/2" pvc piping out of the top with small red sprayers screwed into the pvc. Is the temp and humidity ok for them? I really wish I had a dome for the bucket but I've seen others that clone with no dome.
Here is the inside.. real creative! Water temp is at 76 degrees..

Temp and humdity are good. No need for a dome with the clone buckets I've noticed. Hell I rarely even mist them. My new tub has the PVC and sprayer set up as well. All diy. I love diy projects. Not gonna buy it if I can make it.
My friend has one he uses now made out of a tub he bought from a hydro store. It's just like a rubbermaid but bigger with a flat cover with flat spots to cut for whatever size baskets you want to use. Its pretty sick! I love diy projects myself, almost everything I use I made. For veg I use a reflector I made out of white aluminum coil stock with 800 watts of 5000k CFLs! lol Then switch to 400w or 600w MH and HPS for flower.

dont worry about misting them or setting ph in cloner. ph affects nute uptake, not water uptake.
LIke everyone has allready said, no nutes, no dome, no pH is necessary with clones. I just cut, dip in hormone jel, and place in cloner; takes 10 days for enough roots form then move rooted clone into veg room.
Here is my home made aero cloner.
Here is a clone that is ready for vegging
And here is that clone just under 2 weeks of vegging.

Looks good!! Aero cloner for me has been by far the best at cloning!! The only thing I would add is that I never clip the leaves!! For the last 2 years I have cloned 23 plants every 2 weeks and only 2-3 have not made it! Keep up the good work!
I tried to cross a Weinner dog and cat once, you know, to get a Weinner Cat, but you don't get a Weinner Cat, all you get is a Weinner dog with lots of scratches and a dead cat!!
