    One of the good things about this little system is it’s machine washable! And I have two of the same towels. So I took the dirty one out and put the new one in and took pictures as I put it back together: seedling mat, broiler tray, towel, 2 c water, plants

    Right now I do have the clones just sitting on the towel. When I first pour the water in (about two cups a day is what I’ve been giving them now) it will pool up for a little bit, but usually within a half an hour or so it has been absorbed and they are not sitting in water.

    I’ve just been filling the tray mostly when I fill the humidifier. I have been letting the water sit and warm up after it comes out of my RO because it has been coming out so cold.

    I think this setup works well currently because I have really low humidity. If I was worried about too much humidity, I think I’d have to make some changes, at the very least I think I would raise the plants up on a rack with their strings dangling underneath into the water rather than having them directly sitting in the water.

    The one thing I can definitely say is that I am better off watering and humidity wise right now with this little system than without it.
