either way you do it, the main thing to keep in mind is you need to maintain high humidity...thats the only way the plant can get water while it's trying to make roots is through the leaves...so a dome is preferred because you can mist it and keep the humidity high, making it easier to form roots..

Best way for clones is to keep under 24 hours of florescent tube light rather then cfls/After a decade or so of cloning I find that with cloning powders I get about a 98% success rate and with gels like clonex I get about an 80% rate and its a lot slower. I find rockwool cubes the best for cloning soaked in 5.5 water then shaen out as you want moist not wet. Also a good heat pad or propogation mat under the dome tray helps a lot as you want the roots about 70 degress F.Mist twice a day and open 2 times a day for 15 minutes after day 1.My clones usually show roots in 3-5 days from the bottom of the rockwool cubes

Funny really, I have poor luck with powder, and good luck with gel-I like Clonex. maybe I am not using the powder correctly - the stems seem often to blacken and rot. Could you quicly go through your powder method Fletch?

add lemon juice or vinegar to lower it and baking soda to raise it. i have a dig. ph tester and i cant fathom of growing without one. i ph the water whenever i feed them and make sure theyre at a constant 6.5.
