Should be fine on 18/6 i root my clones on 20/4, not too big of a difference...and will a clipping survive if my vedging plants are on a 18/6 cycle i just dnt have another light or space to clone in
Rooting clones don't require alot of light, the less light the better IMO, a single CFL would do the trick.should i set them off to the side or more under the light its only a 4x4x8 tent and the mh fills the entire tent with good light not all primary light but still good light
off topic but i have to ask.Ha ha. You know, if I thought I could make the trip I'd find myself a couple of nice relaxed pin to pin loads hauling something heading your way SB, and then I'd have that with you in your backyard. I haven't trucked in a few years and I haven't been your side since not long before 911, but I'd get behind that wheel again to come see you guys, again if I thought I could. Things really changed after that day and it just wasn't worth the hassle to me anymore. It was bad enough explaining the same story to the same handful of guys, at the same crossing, sometimes twice a week and over the course of five years, only to get the same passing result, before then. Who knows, maybe if they can fix this hip so I could sit that long then maybe.
just dnt have the room to set up a cloning area but if i set the dome of to the side it would be the same as a couple cfls almost wouldnt it. i do have a 250 hps but wouldnt they have better chance under a mhi used a bed side lamp to grow my clones for the first week and then under the 600. ive rooted straight under a 600 too, just slows it down a bit i think.
whats the reason for that?
You should be fine putting them in a dome in the corner of your tent.just dnt have the room to set up a cloning area but if i set the dome of to the side it would be the same as a couple cfls almost wouldnt it. i do have a 250 hps but wouldnt they have better chance under a mh

Indy - The reason you don't want too much light is because you want the cutting to grow roots, not leaf and veg material, the more light you give it, the more the plant is going to try to grow veg material before it grows roots, and end up not rooting. Roots grow during the dark cycle...
Hmm interesting, I guess we should all be running, lets say a 14/10 light schedule for clones if the dark cycle is when the roots grow. This intrigues me because I had the hardest time rooting some clones the last two times I attempted it. I'm sure it was just a hard strain to clone but I can't help to think what the results would have been if I lowered the light schedule some.You should be fine putting them in a dome in the corner of your tent.

Cause that is what my veg box is on, lol. I dont have a separate cloning station. So when i do clone, they go in the top half of my box under a 68 w cfl.very true bill, any reason you have yours on the 20/4 cycle?
The best part is yet to come, last Summer was awesome and I cannot wait for it to be Summer again. The don't call it the finest city for no reason The gas grill out back goes in to overdrive during the Summer since it is so nice to be outside.bill man, I so envy you for being able to just do everything on your deck and back yard. One day!
Hey mcp, I think that dude may be trying to emulate this guy, that's a shot of Frank Zappa.
I'm waiting for the third to stand up. I went in last night and uncovered her, which wasn't much, and she's there, just not standing. Out of the other seeds I planted I got 3 out of 4 Heri's and one of them is a little runt, and I got 2 of 3 of those The Purps. I just noticed today that not only to the Extrema's have the same type of bud structure but one of them smells like that first Purp I grew. Could be a good mix here. Mainly though I want to make these Heri's work out for making seed.The best part is yet to come, last Summer was awesome and I cannot wait for it to be Summer again.

Duchie - Lets see some pics of the babies
Some swollen buds ther jig..Not sure if this will work. Trying to upload pics off the phone. I got the top level done trimming and the bottom level left. I think it will be a pretty decent yield
All these were taken at the same so I have 3 bags of trim, 3 smaller jars curing, and a bunch hanging up, another bunch in a pile, and 5 plants untouched.
Let's hear it for scissor hash!!!!!!!!!!!!!
