If you over water and the medium and it becomes soaked at the bottum place popcycle sticks under the partition tray and allow for a space between the medium and the water. You could just dump it out of the tray but I find this space adds to the humidity with the tray evaporating well with the added space.

Don't leave the medium soaked. If you have to just pull up on the pod with wooden sticks and twist it 45 degrees and it wont set in the bottum but rather up a few mm.

Thanks, I've dumped the water at the bottom of the tray yesterday, I hope that will do the trick. Is it possible to suffocate the plant now? I mean it has no roots.

You do want air circulation because you are promoting root growth.
You also want to limit your chances of mold and on a heat pad your
chances will increase. And saturated siol becomes dense and hard
for roots to penatrate or gain fresh nutes from.

I think of it as a fresh flow that promotes a controled healthy growth.

Glad I found this. One of the better threads about cloning.

So I am fairly new as well and all of this has been great information.. One thing I have a question about.. I'm using rapid rooters, clonex, and a humidity dome.. I just want to clear one thing up.. Should I wet the rooters once before cloning really good, clone, place a heating pad under the tray with my lights as close as possible? No water in the tray and just re wet them after they dry in a few days and then repeat the process? Also, what should the air temp be at and should I open the vents slightly to the dome for air or keep them closed for the first week to help humidity? I open the dome a few times a day to spray so I figured that was replacing old air with new.. What should the temp in the dome be? Sorry for all the question but haven't been having very much luck with the ones I've started... Thanks for the thread!!
