Clone Using Burpee Self Watering kit?

Dude, you post the best grow questions/ideas...I love how you are always thinking of what to try next, respect.
I would bet that the mat would work well to keep RW cubes moist, even Steven stylee. I'd use a dome though. Rapid rooters could work too, they have a great air ratio. Great idea mang....

Yeah man, I've been using those for years. I use with RR's and it keeps them at a perfect moisture level. Only trick with the RR's is to cut out the bottom of the plastic that holds the plugs upright. I don't use a dome or anything either but my veg room stays at 50-60% humidity.
Just had luck with a rockwool cube on the mat as well. That was nice cause no need for support to hold them upright.

Looks reasonable to me. I've been using "Ice Tube" makers, for sports water bottles. An "Ice tube" tray is very similar in concept, just poked 4 lil holes in each cell, set in a tupperware "shoe box" added an inch of water, works fine, 27 lil babies in 7-10 days, in the space of a shoe box, so yeah, that would work, just keep it warm underneath, around 80F or so, and yer good to go... Good luck brother!

Ahh..... an ice tube cloner brother...... see my sig.....
I would agree.... wick cloners in their various forms are pretty good for clones.......
You beat me to the punch my brother...... good on you.....
Nice! u ever try the coco pucks it comes with?
No I never have although I have cloned in straight coco so I imagine it would work fine.
A bunch of us in fishsticks thread use these things. Pretty much set it and forget it.

Used those things for years. They work great. The pucks are usually expand too small to fill the pots, I just use any other mix in them. Burpee sells a coco brick of their own which is the same stuff as the pucks but in a bulk brick. Much more expensive than 'regular' coco bricks though, not worth the extra money.
And the dome that the Burpee kits come with is worthless-short. Never found any cutting that fits under their lame cover, have always used 6"-8" high dome covers instead.

I've always found a 12-24 hour soak for my cutting before sticking in plug=no dome necessary. Of course this is in my room and all room are different.
Worth a try.
