Daily dome, watering and hardening-off steps from the day you insert cuttings to fully rooted clones at day 14.
Days 1–7: Start rooting
- Every day: remove the dome for 5–10 minutes and wipe moisture from the lid.
- Day 3: open dome holes 25%.
- Day 7: water with Veg A 4.6 g/gal + Veg B 3.1 g/gal, pH 5.5, with 1 tbsp beneficial bacteria. Drain remaining water. Open dome holes 50%.
While clones are rooting, do not leave standing water in trays.
Days 8–10: 20% visible roots by day 10
- Days 8 and 9: remove the dome for 10 minutes or until leaf edges curl; wipe moisture from the lid.
- Day 10: roughly 20% will have visible roots. Remove the dome for 10–15 minutes or until leaves curl; wipe moisture off. Open dome holes 100%. Water from the bottom up, only when cubes are 80% dry and light in color.
Days 11–12: 50% visible roots by day 12
- Days 11 and 12: remove the dome for 15–20 minutes or until leaves curl; wipe moisture from the lid.
- Day 12: roughly 50% will have visible roots. Slide the dome sideways to leave a 1/2 in. gap at both ends, only if clones are hardened off and do not droop or curl. If they droop or curl, do not shift the dome.
Water only when cubes are 80% dry and light in color.
Days 13–14: 100% rooted by day 14
- Days 13 and 14: remove the dome for 15–20 minutes or until leaves curl; wipe moisture from the lid. Slide the dome sideways to leave a 1/2 in. gap at both ends.
- Day 14: feed Veg A 4.6 g/gal + Veg B 3.1 g/gal at pH 6.0.
Once fully rooted, this changes
Water daily. Leave standing water after feedings, and change that water daily.
