...use a soldering iron to make the holes in the bottoms, a drill bit will just break the plastic, it's supple enough to melt but too brittle to drill.Look what I just found at the dollar store for a buck. May go buy a few more.
OH and make sure the plants stay at least an inch above the water in the reservoir......the plants should not sit in water all the time....
Thanks for the reply. The above blows my mind, however, as I believe the wick concept requires the bottom of tubes to be in the water. Are you saying the stem of the cutting should not be inserted all the way to the bottom of the tube?

<<< Trying. In an AC house. Daytime can get to 80, but night gets cooler. Have a seedling heat mat I can run on timer, but suppose should go with a thermo stat.

My apologies of you have already said and I missed it, but what is the ph of the water you are using? And I think you are correct about the smell.
Thanks all. 24 hour temp monitoring shows average 78, max80.7 and min 74.8. Using a seedling heater rather than the aquarium as I am space limited.
Pulling the stem a bit out of the water is interesting. I don't recall seeing that in this thread until now.
So far the last batch (typo said bath) are holding steady. After 48hrs the dome is removed. Usually issues start to show around day 7.
