ok, i have 6 clones in a big blue rubbermaid thingy cut and poked into medium on august 11th.(first time i tried the rubbermaid. wanted to try something new)ihave 4 cfls cut in the lid, had to turn ff all but 1 because of heat so i put a 100w 25 something equivlant daylight bulb in the one that i keep on. temps stay around 76-81 degrees and humidity stays 58- 70. if i go for about 6 hours without misting they start drooping. i have cut the tips so that the fan leaves arent too heavy and droopy when wet but left enough to take in light. BUT when i take off the lid to check on hem water drops from it and the walls have moisture all over the place and they are lines with gift wrap cheap mylar stuff but in my experience it works the same as mylar and is $1.00 a roll. also i have 3 clones from a mother grown indoors put in rockwool and 3 clones from 3 different plants outdoor that showed their femine side so i hurried up and took a few cuttings growing in red cups with organic soil mixed with 1/3 vermculite.(thought i would try rooting in soil. dont ask why.maybe i was medicated.) so my main question is should i continue misting that frequently or slow down not to suffocate them. is the moisture in the box enough to supply them for me to mist maybe 2 times a day? also my container for my misting mix is 1.5 ml humic acid,1.25 ml cold processed squid,1.5 ml bio root,.5 ml processed seaweed.1 ml calmag,and 3 ml non-detergent straight dish soap per gallon which i use to fill my squirt bottle with.(this is how i have always done clones and had excellent results.i do this as soon as i get them in rooting hormone and put in place. i start misting right away.) you should know also that the 3 in rockwool--- the rockwool IS NOT saturated. it is barely wet enough and i want to keep it like that so the roots will have to "search" for water. these are jack herer btw. i just dont want to know if im chancing suffocation or should i keep my reg misting schedule seeing how there is that much moisture in the box.:mrgreen:


may i also say that i am a very happy medical card holder which was hell to get here in michigan.

they are going to droop until they recover so thats normal.I only mist once a day and only for a week.then i just re-wet my rockwool cubes.only use plain distilled water to mist them theres no need for nutes at this point.also dont spray the dome it will cause bacteria to grow and will stink.just the cubes need to be re-wetted.I put mine under running water every few days now i dont mist them and they are kikn ass!
