The night before you clone pH some water to 5.5 Then dunk the cubes and let them soak for like 5-6 seconds. Put them in their tray with the dome on under the light so they are nice and warm and ready for you the next day. Then I use nail clippers to clip the branch from the plant to help crush the wound shut causing less stress. The I use a razor and cut diagonally, Dip in rooting gel,in the cube then back under the light. Keep the light cycle the same for your clones as you had for the original plant(Optimal for vegging and cloning is 16/8 according to a book I got, but don't switch the light cyclesit will stress the clones. Anyways Your cubes shoud be good for about a week under the dome, Then water with pH'd water again. Keep the humidity high and the clones misted with plain water.

hey all, my question is pretty simple i think. i was just wondering if i could use a 430w hps bulb in a 400w hps system. reason being im buyin a back up bulb and i found a 430 same price as a 400w bulb but the 430 produces 35,000 more lumens. i'd really like to up the lumens that much but wasnt sure if it was safe or if it would hurt my hps system. thanks again for any input.:rasta:
