The most efficient temps for growth are between 72 to 80 degrees. Any Humidity between 40 and 60 percent is acceptable and desirable. 60 is a little to cool, anyone else???

oh,
the "lights off, nighttime" temperature. Most desirable is ten to 15 degrees cooler than the daytime "lights on" temperature, averaging 66 to 70 degrees.

the sponges are just folded into a "U" and set into a 3" sqr pot and then I cut another 1 up and made the filler pieces and just put the rockwool cube in the middle. they were $3 at wally world for a pack of 3, there pourous enough for the roots to grow through. would work in round pots to im sure.
