Hello all!
Got a couple of mother plants for free and decided to have a go for some extra cash.
Friend of mine told me it was really easy, and being a successful amateur gardener, i thought it was a piece of piss.
My growing room is my attic, maximum 3 feet height. So i covered it in white materials floor and sides, with reflective insulation on the ceiling, but it's not a completely enclosed room. my intension is to put a velcro curtain to make it enclosed. My lighting is 3 low voltage led strip lights. And i also fitted 2 roof vents for air circulation, but it's cold up there. I'm keen on keeping the led's and maybe buying more.
So I soaked rockwool cubes for a day in water from a freshwater river about 10 miles away, and intend on watering my crops from the same water. Took 3 cuttings from each mother, dipped them in cloning gel, into the cubes and into a propigator with a lid under the same lighting. But it seems the clones are not doing well. The clones are quite leafy and looks like they are not taking. I do realise it's a bit of a fright for them at first, but it looks like it's not good.
Because I'm not using high voltage lights, i realise temperature is a big factor, and with the roof vents it does make it cold.
If temperature is the issue, can anyone suggest a way of heating it up? Or anything else!!??
Thank you all in advance!!
