I got this cutting really stressed out and appears to have curled in on itself. I cut a fresh cut at a 45 degree angle and dipped in rooting powder. I put it into an already watered pot of soil and tied it to a metal chopstick to try to keep it straight. I had the seed pad on at first but I thought it was getting to hot so I just have it in my germination pod. I have a dimmer for my HGL RSpec100 so I am using that right now with it dimmed just about all the way.
