Oh wow this post blew up!! lmao!!
So I went with 21 because ill only need 12 at a time.
The net pots seem to be sealing the lids holes well enough that they dont leak and my box choice with the dropped in lids prevents leaking out the side so thats a positive.
I found a company called dyna-gro. They have a liquid rooting agent called KLN thats supposed to work well with hydro and aero. They also recommend their silicon solution called pro-tekt, so ill be giving that a try too. It was under $20 for small bottles of both of them.

I was concerned about clogging so found this recommended by some cloning bloggers that use the same sprayer heads and figured id give it a try
I have a 200 gallon tank of RO thats literally 2ft away from my cloning "station" so ill be using RO in that as well.
@Airwalker16 thats pretty smart using a shorter clear tub, i did not think of that! I just made a little enclosure with mylar sheets around the box to try to hold more humidity in.
Now that its getting colder outside and ive closed the windows, humidity its staying around 40-50% down in the basement where everything is. All of my seedlings did fine down there without a dome so i figured id probably be ok without one.
I had also looked at adding a pond mister or ultrasonic fogger into it too, but i couldnt decide which one to try.
Cycling the pump is just for water temp right? Ill have to keep an eye on that and figure out an on/off schedule.
It is also close to the outside res for my big setup, i had considered the idea of putting feet on the manifold and having the pump push through a length of tubing that goes down into my other res thats chilled to 66 to cool it down a bit before going to the manifold. Unsure if i want to do this yet or not. Could be a solution if I have temp issues.
