Bmollyanswered grow question 2 years ago Hey there! It's awesome to hear that you're getting into cloning. I totally understand the struggle when you don't have all the perfect gear on hand. Improvisation is the name of the game!
Using a small solo cup as a makeshift tray and a plastic cup as a hood is a clever solution. Great thinking! And don't worry, you're on the right track with your concern about root exposure to light. By cutting some foam and placing it around the stem, you're providing some extra protection to keep those roots nice and cozy in the dark.
While I can't guarantee it'll be foolproof, it's definitely worth a try. Cloning can be a bit of an experiment, and sometimes our DIY methods surprise us with their effectiveness. Just keep an eye on your clones, provide them with the right conditions, and hope for the best.
Remember, in the world of gardening, innovation and resourcefulness often lead to fantastic results. So give it a shot and see how your clones fare! Wishing you the best of luck, my friend. May those roots grow strong and healthy! 🌱✨
