The fans move alot of air so that is good. I think i may get a heating mat to put underneath the chamber to promote root growth. I just hope it stays humid enough in there because the fans are moving alot of air i hope they are not moving so much that it drys up. I am going to leave a cup of water in the chamber as i said before and plan on misting them up to 3 times a day. Is there anything else you could think of that i need to do?
PS: I read one article online that said you shouldn't give your plants any nutrients up to a week before you take clones because high levels of nitrogen in the branch could cause it to dry out, is there any truth to that?
also i plan on "scoring" the cut part of the clone to help induce root growth, is this a good idea? thanks for any of your help in advance! PEACE
