Ahh gotcha. I’ve been rooting clones in soil with the little clear mini domes on them.I actually bought it on Amazon but it was because it’s the same as his thread.
I want to turn my little aeroponics bucket back on and do some experiments to see if I can compare the two methods. That experiment may have to wait until winter so my res water stays colder in the bucket.
My cloninator wouldn't clone in the summer and didn't start working until September came around. I got good results from it, but when I learned the beez0404 method with ProMix and domes, I put the aero cloner away.

This is only the second time I’ve used this one so haven’t tried in the heat yet, although that tent is in the mid 80s right now. I have another larger one that I’ve used many times, it holds a lot more water and thankfully didn’t have any issues in the summers. It’s just worked out so perfect for me that I can’t imagine trying another way. Back in the day I would just stick branches in a cup of water (changing for fresh everyday) and eventually they’d either root or die, but mostly they’d root. Now I opt for a bit more consistency.
Mine sat in a plastic Suncast shed in the backyard, so the inside daytime air temps were well above 80º. It also worked better when I got an interval timer for the pump. That kept the water temps lower as well.
What a name... Like a baby's arm holding an apple!

Yeah based on your advice I got this set at 15min on and 15 off all day. Seems to root a bit faster than my other which I always had on 24/7.
I think I ended up at 1 minute on and 15 off, but even 15/15 should keep the water cool. Still, I got the fastest roots (from cutting to cup-full) going straight into ProMix, which is why I switched. There was always that transition from water roots to soil roots that seemed a bit dicey to me.
Shed, I've been throwing seeds into water lately and having a bit of a time getting them to pop.
Seedling mat, glass, add water, drop seed into water, cover, and wait patiently. I try not to let the seeds sit for more than 36 hours.
Last two attempts failed.
Beyond don't give up, any suggestions?

So many variables including seed health. First think that comes to mind is the bottom of the glass might be too hot on the mat. Where (physically) is the thermostat sensor when it's on? It should be taped to the mat itself.
I've let mine go 48 hours before worrying.

That would be my guess is too warm.

I don’t think I have the same issue going into hempy. When I grew in the kit I had a hell of a time with clones going from hempy to soil though, so I totally understand.
Oh true. If I were running hydro or hempy I would have stuck with the aero cloner.
I think I am also settling on the Beez method. Having an individual dome for each cutting is kinda invaluable.
This is why I haven’t broke out the Dewey cloner in a while.

So was a little manic today and having anxiety about running out of space for the cookout clones, so I moved around all the plants from one tent to the other just to make more head room. One light can’t be raised as much as the other without hassle. Now I’ve got all cookout clones except one Berry Bomb under the Timber/Mejei lights and all the almost done except the BCP under my home built lights. It probably looks more crowded but is actually much better especially height wise. The It’s It Punch looks pretty ripe, I’ll grab the microscope soon. They’re at 39days since flip so it’s a bit early, but amber trichs don’t lie.
Yea seems really soon at 39 days but go by trichomes.

Sue said MagicJim, harvested one at 45f and said it was amazing but also harvested later and it was equally as amazing. It smells like very much like Hawaiian Punch, so I’m perhaps overly excited to try it.

That looks really close to finish, definetly go by trichs.
