First time round I took 5 pieces of very new growth from the near the bottom of my plant which had been preflowering for around 2 weeks and is a female. I intended to use rooting hormone but found it wasn't stocked currently in my town. I did one cut, then carefully lowered the piece into water so the leaves were floating on the surface with the stem submerged, and did a second. They all went into jiffy plugs which are sat in soil with domes made from bottle tops on them. I've been giving them an air out every few hours. They all wilted at first and are now in varying degrees of perkiness. I have been able to have the dome off for extended periods with little to no wilt, which I was unable to do initially. I am hoping this is a good sign.
I've since been gifted some rooting hormone. It's a liquid in a small container. Says its some organic stuff with fungicide. I knew the cuts could root without it but I was worried about the stems rotting.
Light - I don't have anything particularly suitable. I've got my main which is a 400w hps but I see little point running it yet if the cuts aren't even interested in photosynthesis. Would a standard fluorescent bulb, say with a 100w light output, be a suitable choice for cuttings? If so is there any particular time scheme to follow? Do they even need light?
