Height Is What Separates the Active Aqua Humidome
Most propagation domes run four or five inches and a cutting outgrows them in a week. This one stands 8.5 in. That is the difference between transplanting on your schedule and transplanting because the lid is in the way. Taller also means more air volume over the tray, so humidity and temperature swing more slowly when the lights kick on. The shell is rigid enough to lift by one corner without flexing, which is how domes usually crack.
Three-Way Venting on a Vented Humidity Dome
Vents sit on the top and on the sides, and having both is what makes the dome controllable rather than just closed. Run everything shut for the first few days while cuttings have no roots to drink with. Crack the side vents as callus forms. Open the top as roots appear, then pull the dome entirely a few days before transplant so the plants harden off. Growers who skip that last step lose more clones to shock than to rot. The dome seats on a matching Active Aqua flood table rather than clipping to a 10 x 20 flat. Check which tray you are running first.
Key Features
- 8.5 in interior height: Room for cuttings to grow into before they touch the lid, unlike a standard four-inch dome.
- Three-way ventilation: Vents on both the top and the sides, so humidity comes down in stages instead of all at once.
- Rigid moulded shell: Takes being lifted by one corner daily without flexing at the seams or cracking.
- Sized to Active Aqua flood tables: Seats on the matching 2x2 or 3x3 table rather than perching on a generic flat.
- Larger air volume over the tray: Slows temperature and humidity swings when lights come on over a young cutting tray.
