right so i took a cutting from a white widow a week ago, was put in a jiffy plug (surrounded by biobizz lightmix soil to keep upright) into a heated propagator with a small humidifier left in darkness for about 24hrs, then was put under a small t5 light for 24hrs a day looked really healthy i never watered the cutting but the jiffy plug was still moist.
+++so cutting is 7 days old at this point+++
yesterday afternoon i fired up my 4ft 4tube t5 as i had my friends fully grown mother to look after so i put the cutting under also still in the heated propagator with humidifier in there and humidity was around the 75% mark room temp was under 30c everything was absolutely fine after about 6hrs under the big t5 the cutting didnt look stressed wilted or anything.
until i woke in the morning to find low temps and a dead looking cutting...
this is how it was setup yesterday!
4ft 4 tube t5 about 1.5ft off top of propagator
light set for 18/6hrs
humidifier going 24hrs
room temperature when lights where off 16c (propagator was at about 24c)
i am working on the heating side of it, tube heaters and oil filled heater into thermostat should be working by end of play today
surely lights off with humidifier wouldnt do it any favours? but then im thinking the stronger light might have been too much after judt 7 days?
help before i kill anymore
(i will upload some pics using my phone in a min)
