you need to cover or paint black the bottom. roots don't like light. other then that it looks like it will work.

Is the stem in the water?? all of mine have been out of the water when started. Then the roots grow down to the water. get your air stone to the bottom. I think you could remove a little water you want air water mix going to the roots for them to start. I've been told as lang as theair stone is working the roots can be in the water.

went by your journal. If I read it right your using soil with nutes in it for your babys. That is bad. It's like trying to feed steak to a newborn their system just can't handle it. black gold has a seedling mix with no nutes. me I'm doing clones now and not much from seed. Think I'm going to get some top end seeds for the next grow and see if I can get a new mom going. even this bag seed is 25- 50% beter then the bag it came from. oh and the 2 new starts are form plantsthat are 2 weeks into flower.

guess I forgot to say I've done it too. but I've noticed the seedlings grow better in good soil.(no nutes) I use jiffy plugs for seed now get then 40 at a time so I always have then around.

Little peat filled nets for germinating or some use it to clone. Rockwool is king of clone.

Clones should be taken when Mom is vegging, not flowering. My book says
cloning from flowering stage sets you back a month.

Sorry bout the dbl. post. I only use the jiffy plugs for seeds now days. The bubble cloner works way better and faster then anything I've seen

Interested in seeing it. True ......easy to clone from flower but you either go straight back to 12/12 with the rooted clone or put it in veg......and it takes every bit of a month for her to revert BACK to the vegetative stage.
