Take the heater out. The pump running will warm the water along with everything getting warm from the lights also. Too much heat to the water will create root rot and slimy roots. Ur better off havung the water under 70 like closer to 66ish if u can jeep it there. Anything over 70 and it creates fungus to form inside from the geat. B safe

I would agree but basement still real cold for at least the next week and tried this 2 or 3 months ago without heater and cuttings did very poorly 1 out of 10 survived and water temps never got much above 58 °f so that’s why i added the heater and it’s only set to 68 so should be fine or at least it should be. I forgot to add back history to explain why I added heater 
. Every grow is a little different which is why Every one does shit a little different
I do appreciate your input and time brother

Also im not putting cloner in gro tent its just on basement floor so heat from lights aren’t an issue and using a small wattage desk lamp as you don’t want the cuttings to try and grow just want them to thro roots this is mostly from hellraisers threads ive read thru at ilgm.

Nice. When i did a hydro style one when i did rez change i would fill a bucket with water and a bottle of peroxide and soak the roots in the peroxide water til all was cleaned out and reset to go. When ur done and ready to set the plant back in the rez make sure u rinse off the roots super well as to not put peroxide into the rez and kill off anything good in there. Peroxide will heelp keep any slime and bron off the roots and keep them clean so ull jave xtra clean roots going back into a clean rez

Just buy one of those stretchy trelis nets. Then just put it down over the plant and just bend the plant under the trelis. i have 4 of them trellises. I like to breed plants and see how there branching is and there morphology is on strains i cross. So i have been really bad about using trelises and scrogs. So im learning to use them more and practicing using them more.
