Cloning Question...

I just took these clones from my "mother" plants two days ago. I used clonex gel and the rockwool is soaked in a PH corrected solution with superthrive and greenfuse root stimulator (diluted). I know I'm supposed to use only a small amount of light or they can over exert themselves and die, is my setup ok? It's just one agrosun flourescent bulb. Thanks, I still don't have cloning down yet...

Oh and I do have a heating pad under the clones with a thermostat, so that should help right?

the heating pad will help for sure, so use it;) but watch out to put it not too high, don't go over 85F and check this with a independent thermometer to make sure!

Nice setup I think it will do fine. I have to do things the cheap way so I got rooting compound from Kroger soaked sharp scissors in alcohol cut on 45 put in compound then in the 5 gal bucket added little miracle gro 15-30-15 full strength took the top off 100 spindle cd pack sprayed the inside then sprayed the clones put the cover over the clone repeated this 2-3 times a day 2 weeks later one clone doubled in size the other one tripled I think the reason for this is that close to the clones I have a 70w Lowes HPS security light and the one closest to the light is the one that tripled in the same room for the other plants I have a 400W MH I couldn't afford paint so I used dollar store white trash bags and stapled them to the wall and as soon as I get a 600W HPS I'll have Buds yours will probaly do better I know my setup is all wrong but it is all I have. Cloneing is easy for me and yours will do just fine

scissors are not the right tool to cut clones off, since the scissors can crimp the channels in the stem of the clone shout. always use single bladed tools such as knives and razor blades! and for sterilization you need at least 90 prove ethanol or you could just take cold water for the job:evil:

and for the walls, why fussing around with trash bags, get flat white paint and you are set:roll:
