New Clones In A Propgation Tray--Does The Lid Need Holes ?

[butchandscooter]

Hi there,

 

I just got 4 baby afgoo clones today that are tiny and need to spend some time in my homeade mini "greenhouse" or propogation tray.

 

I basically just took a foil cooking tray that came with a clear plastic lid and they are in rockwool cubes

 

My question is does the tray lid top or sides need air holes ? or do I need to open the lid occasionally for air ?

 

Also if anyone knows when I could safely spray them with a little superthrive as they are currently stressed and I would like to help them recover. I know I dont need to feed them nutrients until they produce roots

 

Any other advice I am totally open to hear it. This is the first time I have ever gotten clones that were not already in dirt.

 

These are still not showing roots at the bottom of the cube yet

 

 

thank-you so much

they need air..  and moisture ,, i would say,

mine survived without spraying anything but water on them, until I saw roots, then they were transplanted.

some stores will sell ya anything for sure.

you can fully root a whole tray of cuts in 30-40% rh w temps in the 70's, and not ever spray a single drop of anything. this is from a healthy mom to start. nothing will ever go to mold/rot out.

 

on the flip side, under a dome, constant spraying, using varying products to baby em along, or rooting from sick moms, can all bring about rot/death. won't nec root faster either.

 

keep the light levels low & no dome/spraying. keep it simple, and be patient.
