Ive been using the 3% for about two weeks now. Since I'm a neophyte brug owner (and h202 user), and I had read about it somewhere here on DG, I thought what the heck, My first cutting went into a jar in the kitchen window. After about 3 days I added a cap ful of the 3% (waited three days because at the time I took the cutting, i didn't know about H202). I immediately saw bubbles (like Pelagrino sparkling water) and within a few days the bumps had really swelled. I've been changing the water every few days and have added some hoya and begonia cuttings to the water as well. So far everyone is happy and pushing roots.

Here's the other set up I made. It's a $5 dish shelf from KMart and a clear bucket ($3). I dug an old bubbler out of my aquarium supplies and added it yesterday after reading bubbler talk here in the brug forum. I have also added H202 to the water. So far every one is happy (i think)

These are really my first cuttings (a DG trade with great member!!) and it's good to try and experiment. Had I purchase all of these cuttings on eBay it would have cost me a small fortune. This way I can give it a try and I'm not out too much $.

I hope that what I'm doing is right. And it sounds like there is as many right ways to do it as there are brug growers. If the few adult brugs that I have were big enought to cut from, I would try the moss and plastic roll that I saw a link to here in the forum. Cant remember off hand which thread it was.

I just want to thank all the brug growers here in the brug forum for showing me the light. Had I known how easy these are I would have been addicted much earlier on! Thanks for listing all the advise and info.
Cheers,
