Dark Propagator 60 Secret Jardin – Cutting Grow Box 60x40x60cm · High Reflectivity

The Dark Propagator 60 Secret Jardin Cutting Grow Box is the professional compact station you need to root cuttings with a high success rate, isolating your genetics in a perfectly controlled environment designed to maximize root development. This tent is not just a box; it is a specialized tool that separates the delicate propagation phase from your main crop, ensuring that your seedlings receive exactly the microclimate they require without interference.

Do you ever feel that nagging anxiety when you take cuttings, wondering if they will actually survive the first critical week? It is common to feel like you are "winging it" when you don't have a dedicated space, trying to balance humidity on a windowsill or hiding trays in the corner of a flowering tent where conditions are far from ideal.

That lack of control often leads to yellowing leaves, fungal attacks, or the heartbreaking loss of a unique phenotype you wanted to preserve. Trying to manage delicate clones in a large, aggressive environment is stressful and inefficient; a light leak can ruin a photoperiod, and a drop in humidity can kill your clones in hours, wasting your time and resources.

The Dark Propagator 60 eliminates this chaos by giving you a fortress of safety. It allows you to dial in the exact parameters for cloning, ensuring high humidity and gentle lighting are maintained 24/7, giving you total command over the most fragile stage of cultivation.

More discretion, fewer worries

One of the biggest advantages of the Dark Propagator 60 (DP60) is its ability to disappear into your home layout. Measuring just 60x40x60 cm, this unit is incredibly compact. You can place it inside a closet, on top of a sturdy shelf, or in a small corner of a spare room. It allows you to keep your cultivation cycle going without turning your entire house into a grow op.

Discretion isn't just about size; it's about light containment. Secret Jardin uses high-quality, light-proof fabric. This means you can have your cuttings under 18 or 24 hours of light right next to your flowering tent (which needs 12 hours of absolute darkness) without risking light pollution that could stress your flowering plants. It keeps your operation stealthy and your photoperiods strictly separated.

Control over the experience

When you use professional gear like this, you stop guessing and start managing. Here is how the DP60 puts the ball in your court:

• High Reflectivity Mylar: The interior is lined with Mylar M210D, which offers 95% light reflection. This ensures that your low-intensity grow lights (like CFLs or LED bars) are distributed evenly, reaching every single leaf without hot spots.
• Solid Structure: Built with 16mm steel poles (Q195 steel), it provides a rigid frame that won't wobble or collapse, easily supporting your lighting and ventilation gear.
• Cable Management: It features dedicated socks/ports for cables and extraction, allowing you to seal the environment completely against pests and light leaks.
• Water Tray Included: It comes with a water tray (Mylar bottom) to catch any spills or excess humidity, keeping your floor clean and dry.
• Breathable Material: The fabric is strong but allows for the necessary passive air exchange if you choose, or you can hook up a small extraction fan for active climate control.

How to use it responsibly and comfortably

Setting up a propagation station should be a ritual of care, not a chore. Follow these steps to get the most out of your Dark Propagator:

1. Prepare the Space: Assemble the frame in a clean area. Since it is small, you can build it on a table and then move it to its final spot.
2. Install Lighting: Hang a TLED or CFL fixture from the top bars. For cuttings, you don't need high wattage; gentle, cool blue light is best.
3. Set Up the Environment: Place your propagator or rockwool tray inside. If you are using a heating mat, run the cord through the cable sock and tighten it to prevent light leaks.
4. Ventilation: For cuttings, high humidity is key. You might not need strong extraction initially, but opening the passive vents slightly can help refresh the air once roots appear.
5. Maintenance: Wipe down the Mylar walls with a damp cloth between cycles to maintain reflectivity and hygiene.

Benefits of having everything under control

Owning a dedicated space for the early stages of plant life changes your entire workflow:

• Perpetual Harvest: You can start your next batch of seeds or clones while your main tent is still flowering. When you harvest the big tent, your new plants are already vegetative and ready to move in.
• Genetic Security: Keep a mother plant (in a small pot) or backup clones safe, so you never lose a strain you love.
• Stress Reduction: Knowing your babies are in a safe, enclosed environment means you don't have to check on them every hour.
• Better Success Rates: Stable humidity and temperature mean faster rooting and healthier transplants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this tent for flowering?

Technically yes, but it is very small (60cm height). It is designed for propagation, seedlings, or very small vegetative plants. Flowering standard plants here would be difficult due to height restrictions.

What lighting fits best in the DP60?

Due to the limited height, you should avoid HPS lights that generate heat. LED bars (TLED) or CFL bulbs are perfect as they run cool and can be placed closer to the plants.

Is it compatible with standard extractors?

Yes, it has extraction socks (flanges). However, for cuttings, you often want to keep humidity high, so a very small extractor or just passive ventilation is usually sufficient.

How many cuttings fit inside?

You can comfortably fit one standard large propagator (holding about 50-70 clones) or two smaller ones, depending on the tray size.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

For me, the Dark Propagator 60 is the unsung hero of a continuous harvest. I used to try and root clones in the corner of my veg room, and the results were always inconsistent. Since I started using a dedicated DP60, my rooting success rate is basically 100%. It allows me to create a "tropical jungle" humidity level that clones love, without rotting the rest of my grow room.

My favorite trick is to use this tent with a low-wattage LED bar and a heating mat on a thermostat. It creates a "set it and forget it" system. I keep it on a shelf in my garage; it's so discreet that nobody even notices it's there, but inside, it's a life factory preparing the next generation of buds.
