The ROOTiT Large Heat Mat will raise your propagator temperatures 10 to 15 °C above the ambient temperature. This will enable you to germinate and clone successfully during the colder times of the year and will also help you to sprout seeds that require higher temperatures to germinate.
ROOTiT Heat Mats produce a gentle heat, generated by the single mesh element encased inside a waterproof, fray-proof matting. Place the mat under a propagator or similar non-draining container, not inside of them. The mats’ surface temperate may however exceed 50 °C when turned on and should ideally be used with a temperature controller. Inserting a temperature controller’s waterproof temperature probe into the substrate used inside the propagator will enable you to regulate your substrate temperature automatically. Always try to match up your propagator size to your heat mat size. If the pad is larger than the propagator there will be heat loss on the exposed mat areas. If the pad is smaller than the propagator, the substrate will not be heated uniformly and/or adequately.

The Clone Dome Light Frame is another great addition to the Pot Scrog’s arsenal of simple and effective solutions to growers’ everyday problems.
The light frame was designed to work with 85W Fluorescent CFL lamps that have an E27 fitting, but other E27 lamps and bulbs can be used as well, as long as they can be plugged directly into a regular power outlet and have the right intensity and spectrum to germinate or root cuttings under. ( An E27light fitting has a screw-in thread with a 27mm diameter )
Learn more about the art of cloning and plant propagation HERE.
The base of the Clone Dome Light Frame has also been designed to be large enough to accommodate various sizes of plant propagators and can even house a Garland XL High Dome Propagator, as can be seen in the picture below…
Any propagator or humidity dome with base dimensions of up to 44cm x 64cm can sit inside the base of this unit.
The height of the center of the E27 light fitting is approx. 44 cm above the surface on which the light frame rests on, which means that the unit will easily accommodate various types of high dome propagators.
The light frame comes with a 1m long electrical cord and standard 3-point South African plug.
DynaMist Cutting Mist Spray (200ml spray bottles) is specially formulated to help enhance the health and vigor of tender young plants while promoting robust root development and elongation of of root hairs and is ideal for use on soft and semi-hardwood cuttings and clones.
DynaMist Cutting Mist Spray helps to prevent losses in the critical first few days when cuttings are at their most vulnerable. This handy spray contains and essential vitamin and mineral blend and also helps prevent dehydration of your cuttings.
It can be used to pre-treat donor plants 2-3 days before taking cuttings and also to treat cutting for the first 3 days after separation for the donor or mother plants. DynaMist Cutting Mist Spray is also a great tonic to spray onto your cutting if they are flagging to give them a boost and bring them back to good health.
Store safely away from children, pets and food and read instructions and warnings before using.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Shake well before use.
If possible, spray mother plants once or twice in the 2 weeks before taking cuttings.
Also spray onto mother plants during the 2 or 3 days before taking cuttings.
Spray cuttings again when set into your substrate and humidity dome of choice .
Mist cuttings once every 2 or 3 days after that, until rooted.
Can also be apply whenever clones / cutting look dry.
Low cost, slim-line and ultra light, these can easily be installed over propagators or inside a propagation tent. They can also be hung vertically to be used as supplemental lighting for dark tent corners and in between plantings.
Each Double T8 LED Fitting is 615mm long and fits 2 x T8 LED tubes. PLEASE NOTE: These fittings are not the same as older fluorescent fittings (which have ballasts and starters) and should not be used for fluorescent tubes!
Each Clear T8 LED Tube is 600mm long, has a 9 Watt power draw, 6500K colour temperature, and Lumen output of 810 Lumens. PLEASE NOTE: These tubes are not the same as older fluorescent tubes and should not be used in fluorescent fittings!
For best results 4 to 6 T8 tubes are recommended above a single large sized propagator, like the Garland XL High Dome Propagator.
The LED tubes produce hardly any heat and can be hung as close to the cuttings or seedlings as possible to maximize the light intensity.
NEW in store – 60cm T8 LED Fixture Hanging Frames (Below):
T8 LED Tubes and Fittings 60cm Assembly:
Always wire up and use correctly.
Never put strain on the connected electrical wire. Do not hang from electrical wire.
PLEASE NOTE: The holes of the hanging eyelets ( that are folded up, out of the casing, if needed, one on each side ) are too small to clip into standard rope ratchet clips. Use something like a round key-holder ring to go into the hanging eyelets and then clip the key ring into the rope ratchet clips if needed.
Take care when handling these units as they are light-duty items and can easily damage if dropped by accident.
The 30mm Microgreen Tray With Holes (drainage slots, to be precise) and is 275mm wide and 535mm long. The drainage provided will help prevent overly wet substrates and potential rot.
With its low 30mm height, it can be filled to the brim using only about 4.5 liters of growing medium.
Coco coir based substrates/growing mediums are a very popular choice for growing microgreensat home, as it is a soft and airy medium with great moisture retention. Because the microgreen growing cycle is so short, with the seedling relying mostly on nutrients stored inside the seed itself, adding any supplements or additional nutrients to your substrate is not a necessity at all, although a lot of people do add a little bit of worm castings to their mixes, claiming better results.
Once you have added your substrate into the 30mm Microgreen Tray With Holes, water or mist spray lightly if the substrate is on the dry side and tamp the substrate down very lightly by hand, to get it to settle and flatten out nicely. Then gently sprinkle your seeds across the surface. Once this is done, a VERY thin layer of additional substrate may be sprinkled over the top of the seeds (using a baking sieve, for example)
Place the trays into a suitable environment for germination and mist or spray the top of the substrate regularly to prevent it from drying out. (A propagation dome will help keep substrate moist until your seeds have germinated, saving you a lot of effort. Remove the ). Do not overspray, as this will cause overly wet “swampy” subsurface conditions! Just keep the substrate slightly moist at all times.
Once your seeds have sprouted and grown to a harvestable size, you are able to clip off the delicious micro-leaves for your dishes and salads with a pair of pruning scissors.

The Mini Digital Hygrometer is great for spot checking conditions in your growing area, and can also be thrown into curing jars to monitor their humidity and temperature! This handy little unit takes the guesswork out your operations without breaking the bank and can also be built into propagators and incubators if need be.
With its compact size of 48 x 28.6 x 15.2 mm this unit will fit almost anywhere.
Batteries: 2 x LR44 / AG13 button cells ( INCLUDED )
Handy Tip:
Use a Boveda Humidity Pack with your unit in an empty airtight jar to find out more about the factory calibration of your specific mini digital hygrometer – make a note of what your hygrometer reads after being left in the jar for a while against what percentage Boveda Pack was put into the jar with it, for future reference.
The Autopot Clear Propagation Lid fits snugly onto our 15L pots, so they’re the ideal add-on for both the Autopot easy2grow kit when using 15 litre pots and the Autopot 1Pot system.
These lids can be used to protect young plants from the elements, or to root cuttings directly in your Autopot sets!
Simply pot a young plant and fit the Clear Propagation Lid on top with the vents closed. Over the next few weeks gradually open the vents to harden the plant off finally removing the Clear Propagation Lid completely during the day. If the weather is still a little chilly, you can continue to use the lid at night. Your young plants will be protected from the elements and will enjoy a healthy start in life.
The Autopot Clear propagator Lid fits on the Autopot 15L pot. This makes it suitable for use with the 1 pot system or an Easy2Grow (when using 15L pots!) When the plant is young, place the Autopot Clear Propagator Lid over the pot and gradually open the vent. This is best done over the course of a few weeks, unless the plant gets too big for it! If night temperatures are still getting a bit low, you can still use the lid to protect the plant.
EazyPlug has, with its organic materials and our special way of bonding, a predetermined pH and EC value and a fixed air-to-water ratio. The EazyPlug is very easy to use. Just make sure that the plug always can drain the excess water and you cannot overwater it. Because the growing conditions are always optimal, the EazyPlug creates a very fast and powerful rooting and germination.
Germinating seeds
Fully moisten the plug and put your seed in the seed hole. Put a thin layer of fine coco coir on top of the plug (optional) and spray thoroughly with water. Make sure the plug can drain excess water and put it away in a humid and warm environment. Then wait to see the miracle happening. It is that simple!
Strike cuttings
Fully moisten the plug and put your cutting all the way into the cutting hole. Make sure the EazyPlug can drain excess water and put it away in a humid and warm environment. No rooting gel or powder is necessary.
Easy to transplant
The Eazy Plug will always remain firmly bonded together as a whole. This minimizes the risk on root damage during sorting, transplanting or replanting, thus preventing the plant from diseases.
Limitless shelf life
The Eazy Plug is supplied dried, making it clean and lightweight, with limitless shelf life and no risk of molds. It takes water back up very easily and quickly, retaining all of its former characteristics.

Denature after cultivation
Plug contains cutting stem and callus and can, in potency, contain a regenerative capacity and needs to be denatured by either a strong
acid or base, concentrated inorganic salts, organic solvents (alcohol or chloroform), radiation or heat.
How to strike cuttings with Eazy Plug
Step 1: Moisten the Eazy Plug
Allow the Eazy Plugs to fully suck up water with a pH of 5.8.
Let it drain out excess water. Do not squeeze out or dry the plugs. Eazy Plugs are self-regulating and will only hold the water they need for an optimum moisture level and an optimum air-to-water ratio. The plug will feel much heavier than Rock-Wool, but that’s normal.
Step 2: Take cutting For a more detailed explanation of taking cuttings click here.
Cut diagonally at a 45 degree angle just below a node or stem swelling, making sure to keep at least 3 nodes above your intersection.
Remove all but a couple of leaves. Scrape a little of the outer layer at the bottom of the cutting, but not all around. Cut off ⅓ of the top of remaining big leaves.
Step 3: Root stimulator
If you want to make use of a rooting powder (for example Rhizopon), dip the base of your fresh cut cutting into the rooting powder.
Step 4: Insertion in Eazy Plug
Insert the cutting into the Eazy Plug cutting hole. Make sure to insert it deeply enough, completely to the bottom of the cutting hole.
Step 5: Put into propagator
Put the tray with Eazy Plug into a propagator.
Close the lid of the propagator and shut any present air vents to keep the humidity inside the system.
Step 6: Remoistening and fresh air
Only remoisten the Eazy Plug after 3 days and keep on doing that every 3 days until the first appearance of roots.
Briefly open the propagator every day for a little fresh air.
Open the air vents slightly at the earliest after 4-5 days. Humidity should remain above 80%, as too much loss of humidity can seriously effect your success rate.
Step 7: Assure drainage of excess water
Make sure Eazy Plug is able to drain excess water at all times, so it can always self-regulate the correct amount of moisture. Never let the bottom of the Eazy Plug touch water, as the moisture absorption of Eazy Plug is exceptionally good and the Eazy Plug will quickly become too wet, which will have a negative effect on the rate of success.
Step 8: Open air vents
After the first roots have developed, you can gradually open the air vents further in order to acclimate the cutting to a less humid environment.
Step 9: Transplant
In 7-9 days from start your cutting should have grown its roots throughout the Eazy Plug and it is time to transplant them.
Conditions for developing roots:
1. Temperature: The optimum soil temperature for striking roots is 22º Celsius. Above 23º Celsius, you must consider a rise in failure rate.
2. RH (humidity): RH of 80-95% is perfect. As the cutting needs its energy for striking roots, the moisture level of leaves and stem should remain intact.
3. Light: In the first few days the cutting will form callus, from which the roots will start to grow. In this phase the cutting only needs tempered light with a broad spectrum (regular assimilation light). After the development of roots the amount of light can be gradually increased.
