Sickkkkk. Post up pics ASAP! Good idea on the dome. What are you rooting in?
thanks bro!im Rooting In some seed starter soil that I had put up.its 48 hours since cutting and I have high hopes for it :) i clipped down the bigger fan leaves to redirect energy,and ive been watching for water sitting on the leaves for long periods to avoid mold

Oh and I promise youll love these hygrometers. I have two of them haha.
Are those some good nutes? Lemme know.
I got my veg nutes from a local nursery,its a formula mix for tomatoes so I figured it would be a good match.my flower nutes are ff tiger bloom.I haven't gotten the chance to use any of the nutes yet because i don't want to burn up the clone before it roots.I didn't manage to get the trio pack of nutes or the booster fan,I had traffic tickits I had to pay

Good plan. And you're keeping it under a little tent? I used a sandwich bag for mine hahah. Helps keep in that moisture. From what I understand new clones can take a pretty high humidity. Is it MG rooting soil?

Agreed, definitely no nutes for a while. Make sure those things are happy and strong. Some people wait a couple weeks after rooting. Thats up to you. I wonder how those nutes will work though, definitely will have to check back when you start blooming =)
And the tickets, I know how you feel haha, that sucks bro. I just installed my booster fan with the 4" cf filter too. I will have to let you know how it goes. I'm using 6 cfl's and my temp will rise to 79-82F with standard computer fans, 80mm. So I'm hoping with this booster it'll be enough to suck the heat out of my little closet. You dont really need a fan just yet, unless you're using that 400w hps. It needs high humidity and can root with just 1 or 2 CFL's which are super low heat and power usage. 23w=100w standard light bulb

Im keeping it under a 2 liter bottle that has the top cut off of it,and I did a dry run with my hid system and my results were a shocker! I put in my mh bulb because ive read that they run hotter than the hps and ran it for 18 hours with the door slightly cracked,right before I turned it off my thermometer read right under °80 ferinhiet! I do have a 10 inch oscillating fan in there with it at full speed but every time I drop the speed down by one the temp increases by a few degreesI already know the reason for my low temps without proper ventilation has to be how cold I keep my bedroom though.and as for your grows im followed up on you man so ill keep my eyes out,I had cfls going before my little stunted bagseeds accident happened haha.right now im just useing them to root the clone but they're 2700k I know people say go 6500k for rooting but ive also read that 2700k promotes root growth so there's alot of mixed opinions so I just rolled with it

Here is the little delicate girl at 138 hours since cut(day 6) Ive been trying to get her used to my low humidity grow room and almost lost her yesterday because I left her out too long

Edit:and yes its mg seed starter,its a bitch too,unless you pre wet the soil a little bit it will repel water very badly

Very nice temp! you turn on the booster fan and I guarantee it'll be around 70. thats awesome man. As for the clone, all I do know is that a blue light is healthier and promotes veg more than yellowish light. Yellowish light promotes budding better. Obviously either way it will grow though haha. She's looking good. Those new leaves are getting bigger =D She looks like shes rooting.

As I'm sure you know, be careful with that MG soil, I say transplant as soon as shes rooted to a different soil. I'm sure I dont need to tell you about MG soil.. gahh started to burn my blue cheese badddd.

Thanks for following me man! I'm actually about to post up some pics =D
