Hi am currently on my first grow , i recently got some cuttings from some1 ( armegedian ) he also lent me a light with 2 11w bulbs in it.
First problem the cuttings were large and wilted a little when i first got them wasent concerned , my grow tent is in the garage and when i put them under the light it seems a cold enviroment i have had them under light for 2 days an no signs of life as yet. so have decided to turn my 600w light on an hang it about 4-5 ft which provides a lot more heat an more light is this a good idea or a bad idea ?
also the leaves are still nice and green which most be a good thing true or false or is it too soon to tell am going to leave the light on 24 hours to try get them to lift a bit

Also the cuttings were fresh with no roots atall yet so hoping to get them rooting please help will post some photos tonight .

well if ur cuttings r not rooted yet,then take the 600 off and put the small lights back on
unrooted clones dont need much light,its better to have less to reduce transpiration and such
u need to have them in a humidity dome until they root(thats probably y they r drooping) ,then u can begin to hard them off
pics would be nice....u dont wanna have too many leaves on there either

Click to expand...
take all the leaves off except for the top 2...this another reason y they r drooping
22w is enough to help them root,but i suppose what u got going on is good...just keep the light high like u got it til they root

Keep that humidity really high in that dome! with all those extra leaves gone the cutting can focus on its root system!
