Cool, might have to try with rockwool next if this doesnt work. Well today I put my clone outside in the garden to try give it some more life (nice and moist in the garden today). Which made the leafs look more greener again :) BUT, when I brought it inside I found two small snails on it and...

I dont understand sorry. AL B? I did however peel a bit off this time when i cut it.

Well I dont think its going to make it. The leafs are really starting to turn yellow and the stems purple? I had a close look at the main stem today and its thin and soft as hell, almost like a drinking straw. I decided to make another cut up the stem where its still a bit harder (but not much...

***bump***

I dont get it. Its still growing but still no sign of roots and the leafs are starting to turn slightly yellow. I have a funny feeling that its now too late for it to root (especially after incandescent light, oops), and that I should make a clean cut on the stem to freshly expose it to the...

Since using the CFL I have noticed little white hairs forming, so hooray for that! But im concerned about the plant because the tips on the leafs are drying up and dying. Could this just be the plant in shock because of the new light pattern? Iv noticed that the bottom of the stem is going a...

Im not too familiar with fluorescent lights, but in logic compared to an incandescent light a 6400k would be physically hotter hence higher number. Think of it this way, what happens when you dim a light? It turns a much warmer color. If you apply more power to it, it will becomes a much more...

Just a standard light fitting, either bayonet or screw type.

Yep, growing outside and made the light box just to start the clone. The area I live in is ideal for growing. I live in a valley surrounded by forest with tracks going off everywhere. Its a little bit cold at the moment but better late than never! Plus if I make a clone from every cloned plant...

For now until I seal up my light box and create good circulation I will be using 18/6. The reason for this is that I dont have to worry about my parents walking into my room and accidentally finding it at night if they come close to it. It will be turned on at 12am and turned off at 6pm. After...

8 more?! :shock: I only want it to assist the clone to root, then its going outside. Now would 18/6 be ok to used apposed to 12/12? Would it make it progress faster?

They had a few at Safeway. I got this one: It is really quite bright! They also had the GE brand but this Phillips was the highest wattage one there. I hope it does the job! Will have to wait and see :)

Alright il pop into a few shops sometime this week. Btw, we dont have Walmart, Lowes.etc over here in Aus :p But shops like Kmart, Big W or even the local Safeway (general shopping chain) should stock them. Between them I should be able to find something. Oh and the clone wasnt under the...

Cool, cool. I might experiment a bit here. Il head out in a few days or so and look for a couple CFL's. Seeing clones need only low light il try that small 6w globe (nice and small for the small light box I made up) as well as a bigger one. Thanks to all for the info!

Cool, thanks for that. But I have just a few more questions to clear things up. 1. Approx how many lumens is needed per clone/small plant? 2. Is it true that cooler colors (eg. 6500K) are better for veg? 3. Will going overboard with CFL's damage the plant? (not that I will be).

6W Mini Compact Fluorescent Energy Saving Lamp CFL - eBay Light Bulbs, Lighting Accessories, Lamps, Lighting, Fans, Home. (end time 15-Jun-08 16:30:36 AEST) Whats peoples thoughts on that? Seems to be the only one on AU ebay with a bayonet fitting (yes I turned to ebay, its easier when you live...

Thanks for the quick reply. I had a funny feeling it could have been that. Im going to look for a CLF as I only need it for cloning, then its going in soil and outside. What color temperature should I be looking for in this situation? Warm or cool? And approx what wattage?

I might as well keep it all in one thread. I has been 13 days and still no sign of roots, one or two leafs are starting to go brown and shriveling up at the tips, but the other leafs are fine and is continuing to grow more leafs. Whats happening? Im using 12/12 light and putting it under a...

Hey all, new to the forums. Iv finally decided that Im going to attempt my first grow (outdoor). I managed to pinch a cutting off of a mates dads plant (which we dont really want him to know about), that im currently in the process of cloning into a mother plant for more clones. Im currently on...
