Round cup in a square hole is a light leak directly into your root zone. Yellow lids dont stop light.

Ok, I thought you meant my tent. Staying with the cups was a last minute decision. Two of them had roots through the drainage slits I cut in the bottom and I didn't want to damage the root by pulling it back through the slit so I just made it bigger. I guess i could cut a collar and circle the cup...

You could cover the top with heavy duty foil, cut an X in the middle where your Solo's are going then press them in place. That should cut down on lite in the root zone.

For the future. Its a solo cup, cut it apart to get the plant out if you need to imo.
Youll want to do something to plug the holes for sure.
The yellow lids also let light through. Cover it with something or paint it. I use flat white spray paint or fail tape to cover mine.

For under 10.00 I was able to MAKE a micro cloner.

In what aspect? If you are talking about the grow in the pics? that was done months ago. If you mean the cloner it's already working. I apparently define "failure" differently than others.
So, if you feel you have wisdom to impart, by all means, enlighten me. If you expect compensation, how about a small piece of wisdom from me.

Ok, thank you it is something I will consider for next time. But, as of now, it's working. Just because I don't immediately jump on all advice given doesn't mean I didn't file it away. The advice "I left on the table" was to bet bigger bins/rez. And whomever it was was right. It is a major pain in the ass to keep Ph stabilized in smaller rez'. I just didn't have the money to go get new bins. It is something I'm still in the process of. I'm hoping to see larger yields with the bigger bins.
