Heys guys what would be the suggested humidity for a clone dome, i just recently purchased a humidity monitor n im gonna be getting a heating pad in the next week....so i was just curious on what some of yall more experienced farmers would have to say on this topic....
thanks!
80% to 100%, not higher than 100% if you will. If you have the rh at 90% I personally would watch them very carefully for the 1st signs of harmful mold, mildew, and fungus and take immediate action. While my clones sit in an "Aeroponic", not hydroponic but EZ-Clone Machine I like to put a small oscillating fan on low to aid in air circulation in order to not stagnate the stratified air. Good air circulation/ ventilation are the key to maintaining a proper level of temp. & humidity, that's very important!! I use either EZ-Clone rooting gel or I prefer "Clonex". Clonex is the ultimate, superior ingredient and root hormone packed with all kinds of good stuff. It's a gel so it seals the cutting immediately when dipped into the gel. Clonex Is very, very reliable and considered the rolls-royce among root hormone powders and gels. Get some- I believe it's cheaper then the EZ-Clone gel solution in fact. Use humidifiers if you have to to enhance the ambient airs RH%. Space out the cuttings/clones for vegetative cycle before and flowering so they don't compete for each other. I also like "Woods" foliar spray made to combat severe drought and dehdration during the shockin taking a clone/cutting.80% relative humidity until roots develop and are ready for transplantation.
Not Always!When getting clones to root i'm in the high 90's inside the dome. Like Walter said the higher the better.
As high as you can!
ok thanks alot, i appreciate that....
would it be better to have a certain type of heating pad or just a regular one??
Not sure how you could get over 100% rh?!?! I would never put a fan on my clones even in the aero cloner. If everything is clean, you won't see mold in the ten days it takes to root.80% to 100%, not higher than 100% if you will.

More like to much heat rather than high Rh would course the mushingSoon as I put my clones in My dome I'm getting 99%Rh. After three or four days there collapsing at the block with mushy stems.
It's because the R/H was to high. Nutrient wasn't leaving the blocks. Clones wasn't transpiring. I'm running a small clip on fan now around the props. R/H is 78% and my babies are drop dead gorgeous now. No necrosis and no massive losses. I also have a lot better control over humidity. I really can't believe it was something so simple.More like to much heat rather than high Rh would course the mushing
