Great idea taping the 2 cups together making Individual domes
Edit : do you have a small hole in them or are they sealed?

What a great ida Emilya,
Creating their own private dome. You are always full of such creative ideas, I love it
Those little cups are so nice for so many things in any type of cultivation! I use mine so much I wash them. I think I've had the same pack for over a year
A quick update without pictures tonight only because a significant thing has happened, and I want this date documented in the grow log. Today after being able to get done with my males one of my significant goals for this run has been achieved. I now have pollen for the ladies in the grow room, and one branch on each plant will be fertilized to produce seeds. This will give me AK47/AK47, AK/GC and AK/TD... some interesting crosses to be sure.
I also found a problem in the clone room veg tent with the cheapie masking tape (dollar tree most likely) that I used to seal the cups and affix the labels. The damn stuff has a useful life of about 5 days in this environment and my seals were breaking. The ones that showed obvious moisture evaporation were resprayed and retaped, this time with high quality 3M masking tape. It's not going anywhere. So far, all the clones look healthy and are all still standing upright after 3-4 days in the cups, no roots have yet been observed.
Next, and most importantly, the addition of the second 600w light for 3 hours a day has had dramatic effects. The plants are all leaping with new growth, and the tallest one is starting to get a little out of hand. Water use is off the scale. One would think that I had just switched to a 1000w light. Not wanting the lights to have to get ridiculously high later in bloom, the decision was made this morning to flip the switch 3 days early. As of today, the bloom period has started with their first uninterrupted night and now we will wait and see how fast the changeover to full bloom takes after the 12-1 lighting. I suspect that within 3 days we will see a dramatic change over to full on flowering. Hold onto your seats! We will all find out together if there is a noticeable effect!
wish I could take credit for it Rhet, but I learned this from a video and a conversation with Cannachick and Pokesmot. I have tried many different methods of working with clones, from bubblers to straight soil, but never have I seen a method that is so easy and so foolproof. It is very rare for one not to take with this system, and since it is no touch throughout, rarely will mold take over before roots start leaping out of the peat pucks. Once I feel that they are ready, I simply take the tape seal off and start hardening off the clones right here in the cup, before I transplant them to the solo cup. It is a beautiful and elegant solution to cloning and I doubt I use anything else, even if I someday go large scale with a dispensary operation.
Again, thank you, but credit goes to where credit is due.
I was doing that too, but if you notice there are two different sized cups in my system right now. What you are seeing is that some of the used cups had gotten to the point that it was silly not to just spend another $1.39 for another 50. I love your frugality though gypsy... I am sure we are of like mind in this way in a lot of areas in the grow room.
Hey Emilya I'm happy that I saw your helpful post earlier. Hope you don't mind if I join along with your grow
Your plants look healthy and happy though in your garden I would expect no less.
Congratulations on being nominated for MoTM
