I feel lacking... Question about cloning.

[audiocide]

New question: Do you use some sort of propagation chamber mini-greenhouse thing? I hear talk of air bubblers and whatnot in the unofficial cloning FAQ.

audiocide Reviewed by audiocide on 01-01-2006. I feel lacking... Question about cloning. I have researched and read many, mnany mixed accounts on cloning, and I'm about ready to go for an indoor crop. I have all the room I need (20x25) plus a large ventilation duct on either side of the room, one in and one out (of my chimney, should cover smell during flowering periods) and all teh soil, lights, and pots I need. But my question is not about that. It is about cloning. I am lost on the matter, so let me be short. I have only a vague conception of what cloning is, and no Rating: 5

Bump.

I just went out and got the halogens set up in a small space and have decided to plant and start lighting now. That means at 10:00 every morning will be my offtime, I am guessing. I have 5 planted, just going to hold one of the females back for motherhood. Installing more halogens later, and everything else.

halogens?

Maybe I did forget the word. Long, tubelike lights. Normally in office buildings and classrooms, lots of light in small spaces. Fairly reliable, not very hot, white light (not yellowish).

i saw a thread on og with a guy that put the cuttings straight into a cup of water and they rooted just fine, then you just put it all into some soil. Important thing about cloning is having low light levels.

I think what you are referring to is Flourescent lights, and unless you have bought GROW Bulbs for them, they will not work. No matter how you try THEY WILL NOT WORK! Halogen bulbs WILL NOT WORK either. Just trying to save you some time. As for the cloning thing its really easy, just take your time READ all you can and be patient. I personally use a product called Clonex, you may like it you may not. Good luck!

Can you obtain grow bulbs at your local supplies store? And are these going to be hard on my electrical expenses? Or hot?

Are there any electrically cheap solutions for a mass grow besides these bulbs?

Thanks.

you want a bulb that looks like this... just for starters

and now you know

Thanks... But would it be reasonable, buying two to hang between each plant and one above? No alternatives, besides those 1,000w homegrower indicators?

And I don't see how those bulbs are different, besides one number or an odd word added in. Any advice?
