I've read that heat mats are very useful for root propagation, especially in clones. Unfortunately I wouldn't know how to get a hold of one nearby and I don't want to be ordering things over the internet. I thought the next best thing to do is make one, and was inspired when I found a tin box, perfect size to place the clones on top of. I only have 3 and they are in fairly small plastic cups (pictures on the last page of my diary, link in my signature).
Next I have to figure out what to place inside it to heat it up. I thought maybe some kind of charger for an electric appliance, seeing as they get quite warm when left plugged in for a while. I also found an old external hard drive that needs reformatting and is currently plugged in, waiting to see how hot it gets.
Does anyone else know what I could put inside the tin box? I thought warm water but I'd have to keep replacing it, and I doubt the hot water bottle I have is small enough, but maybe a makeshift one...
I am doing a grow journal for this, if anyone is interested just ask
