Hi guys and gals

I'm lookin to get one of these , but i havent got a clue what i'm after , what it needs to do .

Some seem basic , some all singing and dancing , so if ya dont mind a little run thru of em please.

And of course , any recomendations appreciated .

TIA

Hopefully Soon

Edited to add :

Sorry if this it the wrong forum , just seemed the most appropiate when stoned

ive used a cheapy one from B+Q before with the required effect, its only about 4 or 5 inchs wide but around 2foot long, it had a green bottom section and a clear upper, all i did was put some potting compost into small peat plugs popped in my germed seeds and stuck a flouro ontop - sorted
whole thing only cost about a tenner

if you have a sunny windowsill then leaving it on that could also work

they work by making a micro climate inside, humidity goes up and makes the seedlings feel right at home

r u looking to use for seeds, cuttings or both and to what scale r u looking to grow?

hi guys

bit of both m8 , seeds to start off with , then cuttings , then seeds again when i change strain .

not a big grow , (famous last words) , about 8-12 plants at a time

Hopefully Soon

Most garden centres and grow shops sell a decent range. If budget allows go for a heated unit, if you have a little more money go for an adjustable heated unit. This allows you to experiment over time with the best temp. If you cannot go for a heated unit just yet buy a standard unit and add a heater mat to the underneath later. You can get the heater mats from your local pet shop(reptile heater mats). Make sure you get a unit with vents in the lid as you will need to "harden off" cuttings and seedlings gently over a period of time. If all else fails buy a cheap seed tray and make yourself a cover. I've used wire from coathangers and clear plastic with great success. Lot's of big commercial growers use miniature versions ofpolytunnels. When doing seedlings or cuttings remeber to lift the lid at least once a day and breath over your babies.

Can I just add, If you can get a Hi Top propagator, the normal ones are a bit low.
