Is this ok for lighting

I've only done seed, and even that I'm new at, but I think you are supposed to give the clones ambient levels of light until roots show up, then switch to your main lighting regimen.

I use a PAR meter (Apogee Quantum Flux MQ100) to set light levels.
Ambient light in my house is about 50-75 umol. Clones seem to like closer to 100 umol until rooting is indicated, pale light green in center of leaves or size increase, then it goes up to 250 umol, low bay white enamel reflector with 400 watt CMH (HID) placed at 40" away, or a 50 watt passive LED (60 degree beam angle) at 15". The newer LEDs with 'white' mixed in match nature more closely.
Minimum for actual vegging is 500 umol and bloom runs almost 1000.

More or less will still grow plants, these are the numbers I use.

Listen to that guy, he has the maths!

It's fine but I'd put it a little closer. Couple feet off to the side. Looks like almost no light where it's at. They need some just not a lot.

Is this better

I just put a 9 watt cfl about 15 inches above mine.. that is more than enough light.... not sure how they will do under the reds and blues.. I imagine just fine as long as the temps aren't too high or too low

Thank you, when you say more than enough is it possibly too much? I feel like I have my previous kids too much I have a 2% success rate lifetime lol

Also how low temps is too low just curios?

And you say you have a 16 site cloner with a 9w cfl 15 inches above? That sounds doable if this isn't a good setup I have now

I feel like the problem was the size of my cuttings after reading the directions for the ez cloner and following them, these cuttings are all the longest I've ever done

Complete Noob · 09-18-2017, 02:29 PM

I scooted them a little closer before I logged back on yesterday that's why I was asking those questions about it being too close I checked this morning and they look the exact same as they did three days ago so basically I am fucking excited as hell right now all 14 of them
