what are the light rquirments of a fresh clone do they need darkness to recover from bein cut how lond after they root do you need to veg em I have a 27 gallon bin with 2 20 watt florescent fixtures mounted to the top they are the daylight bulbs because of thair blue tone is why i chose them blue wavelength is for root development and veg right so after i take my clones can they be put in my little box clones need low light til they get rooted right. am i on the right track here

Hi Tuss

Clones root in 3-14 days.
Your Fluorescents will provide perfectlighting.
You want to kee moisture in the box.. so that the plants don;t loose all their moisture through their leaves... the clones donthave roots and if they loose all their moisture, they can't get more..

YOu should try to use
rockwool
rooting powder or gel
wilt spray
cloning tray with DOME

and NOW you KNOWM

Darkness is NOT a plus

thanks for the info, think if i build a small platform in the sealed box and put an inch of water in the bottom it will help keep humidity up my box has 2 small computer fans one high one low for ventilation and i plan to mist them at least once a day or should i x the fans and just open the lid every day if that the humidity will be high and the air will be stale what ya think my best chances are i dont want the fans to dry em out but i dont want stale air either do i what yall think or am i makin it more complicated than it is
