Got the GH rapid start and gonna use a razor blade and cut at a 45 degree angle ( I used a very sharp pair of scissors before and did the 45 degree angle).... This last run I did use the rockwool and dome and I got better results with the clones, however some of them took 15+ days to show little roots. This next run in the doom I'm gonna try to get close to 100% humidity for the first 3 days then lower the humidity after that from 70-85%..... I can use the GH rapid start in the rockwool right??? Prob just gonna get a red cup and figure it out and put a few drops of the GH in there then dip the rockwool in the water that the GH is in.

Just water the clones as normal with a few drops of rapid start added to the water. Use a hand mister to moisten the cubes as needed.

I love using the wet jiffy plugs, if it is dryish where you live, you might need to drop it in some water, cutting and all, about every week if you are not seeing roots, so it can rehydrate. They can dry out too far...
Also, try and buy them in sealed bags so you don't get a bunch of plugs with mildew spores on.

What humidity inside the dome is ideal for the first 3 days? Isn't it ideal above 90%... Then after the first 3 days anywhere from 70%-85% humidity.... I use to get clones to root in 45% humidity without a dome in the winter... Its the fucking strains I'm telling ya... Well I just took another round today of clones and just did water and some rapid start and .5ML of UC roots for bacteria per gallon. Used a razor blade too.

I don't even measure it, you can see if it is humid enough.
First three days wn;t matter even if it is 100%, but do start allowing small bits of air exchange and grow it daily.

When I need to water the grow cubes that the cuttings are in bc they dried up a little can I just add regular tap water or should it be ph'd down etc and put rapid start in them??? When I first get them wet I ph down a do rapid start bc I'm trying new ways.

I just dip the whole plug with cutting in in a jug of tap water, don't want it soaking, just let a few air bubbles escape so you know it ain't bone dry.

Rapid start worked for sure in my cubes in the dome! Multiple roots 1/4" long that are thick and fuzzy. Thanks Man
How long can I keep the cube in this same setup meaning higher humidity, no nutrients except rapid start and the light 3 foot away?

Not too long; maybe a few weeks at most. Rapid start is fairly meager npk. You can just use the cubes as a hydroponic medium for awhile if you need to..just switch to soluble nutrient at low ppms & a proper ph range in your spray bottle or puddle the cubes daily in a tray or something to keep them moist.

Shit I went down there and I forgot to put my dome on which would keep the humidity from 80-95%.. The humidity was 60% and the cubes were all dried out so I just added tap water to them that wasn't ph down, just plain tap water. Can't forget to put the dome on I guess.
