3 unrooted cuttings grow log

[chrishna58]

Strain: Blosser (from SalviaSource)
Lighting: Subdued natural morning light
Grow Media/Soil Mix:  gel2Root
Fertilizer:
Temperature Range: 70-80 F
Humidity:  100%
Started From: Clone
Start Date: 8/15/08

Other Details/Images:

I'm learning the importance of high humidity for clones. My previous clone didn't seem to need to be in a chamber, but these do.

Right after I received and unpacked these unrooted cuttings I had to keep them in a humidity chamber (2-liter bottles) to keep them from wilting.

Also, the rooting media I'm using is gel2Root, and apparently the gel is not sufficient to keep the cuttings hydrated so, again, I need to keep them in a chamber to keep them from wilting.  I also noticed that letting direct sun shine on the chamber generates too much heat and the cuttings will wilt. This is pretty much an experiment so we'll see how it works. As you can see, I tend to keep my apparatus minimal.

that looks like a pretty good setup, but if i were u i might think about putting something around the plastic container to block sunlight from getting to the roots, but other than that it looks like a really good setup, i look forward to seeing how it works out
