Reddit mentions of EarlyGrow 70738 Medium Domed Propagator, Black/Dark Green

How long has it been in the cup? As long as you were able to salvage any roots it should be fine. If you weren't able to save any roots it will be a lot harder but not impossible. Get a spray bottle and wet the plant once daily, the higher your able to keep the humidity the better off you will be. Good luck!

If it has no roots I would recommend a clone dome to help with your humidity. Something like this.

Take your rose cuttings right at the node from younger growth on the plant. Stick the fresh cutting in the rooting hormone and then put it into a pot with moist, well drained potting mix (peat and perlite mix, like miracle gro). I’d keep it somewhere warm with indirect sunlight, and it also helps to have a humidity dome so the cutting is in a (close to) 100% humidity environment.

PM me if you have more questions!

I've converted a bathroom we weren't using. It started with just the shower... but... they keep growing.

4x4 seems big now. 4 plants will be MORE than enough to fill it. Look at pictures of plants ready to harvest and try to gets a sense of size. MOST of them are bigger than 2x2, right? And that's all the space a 4x4 will give for each plant if you run 4. I thought my 30x30 shower would be great. Two plants have it MORE than overgrown. The other two plants take up most of the bathroom. You can't turn around in there at the moment. lol. You can run 4 in a 4x4... but I wouldn't push to six! And you'll have to get creative with training and pruning at times!

I'm worried you don't have enough light. The actual wattage of that fixture is 180watts... and divided by your 16 square feet, that's only 11.25 watts per square foot. You want to aim for between 30 and 50, depending on your light's efficiency. Now... this isn't MG where we need to be snobby... so you absolutely CAN grow with less than that... but you're quite a ways below it. I'm using these - https://www.amazon.com/Light-450w-Greenhouse-Hydroponic-Lighting-Spectrum/dp/B07DHJXX7V/ And they're 130 true watts, so I use 1 for every 3-4 square feet of flowering space. (essentially one per plant.) But that's a full spectrum COB, and I expect (and so far have seen) better efficiency results out of it than the red/blue ('blurple') things all over the internet. At the moment I've got 4 of them, and love them. I've also got a cheap 80w actual (sold as a 250w) blurple light that i use for seeds/clones/mothers in a separate area. It works fine for that. Your light ought to be adequate for two plants! But I'd pick up another to supplement it if you want to run all 4 and fill the tent!

I've got a 6" filter and the cheapest inline fan I could find on Amazon, and they do fine and aren't loud enough to hear outside the bathroom. I'm exhausting my duct straight into the attic. I didn't mind cutting a hole as i needed to add a vent to that bathroom when I finally renovate it anyway. Between the filter and then having the attic space to diffuse, I don't smell it anywhere indoors or out. ((Before I added the filter and fan... ermagawd. The entire streeeeeeeet smelled. And the plants were just a month old! I got out of my car one day and was knocked over by it. Went straight inside and ordered a filter and fan.)

I've been getting seeds from both Greybeard on FB, and from Greenpoint in Colorado. Never had trouble with either!

A dome will increase your seedling success rate, but you only need it for the first week or two. You can get by with just flipping a clear rubbermaid tub upside down over all the seedlings, really, or even saran wrapping over the cups. You just want the humidity to be high in there for a few days until the roots are established enough to do the drinking. Once a day take the cover off for 5 minutes to let it air out... and then spritz the dome with a spray bottle full of water before you put it back... that way the light will evaporate the misted water on the dome and keep the air humid in there. Within a week I start opening the vents and letting air in (or I'd start poking small holes in the saran wrap)... so you really don't need it long... and probably can get by without it... but it's nice to have. The dome I got was - https://www.amazon.com/EarlyGrow-70738-Medium-Domed-Propagator/dp/B01BOY6Y2I/ and it's remarkably sturdy. Not the flimsy plastic 'crush if you sneeze on it' things you see at walmart for seed starting. You can totally get by improvising, but I do enough cloning I just wanted to get something affordable but nice.


Good for you starting in solo cups. Starting in anything smaller than that is a pain because they dry out so quickly. Solo cups are the right size for me. I start seeds in a wet paper towel, and then when they throw a root, I drop them a half inch down a hole into pure perlite. I keep them in the solo cup sized pot of perlite until they're almost root bound, then transplant into hydroponics, myself. If I were going to soil, I'd mix 50/50 perlite and potting soil in that cup... most likely.

Are you in OKC? I really want to get a monthly grower meetup going! Grab beers once in a while, chat, show off pics of the grow, trade gear we're not using at the moment, network, etc! There's also a pretty active OK growers facebook group! PM me if you want an invite to that!

I got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Aquarium-Oxygen-stones-Silicone/dp/B00L17IPEO/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1486046840&sr=1-4&keywords=aquarium+air+pump so I could bubble water in a cup in the dome to bring in air and humidity.

Edit the dome is quite small but I only grow 4-6 plants at a time. You can get a bigger one.

Hydro shops and garden stores usually have them. I got mine on Amazon. Here's a link.
