I have a 250 W M/H bulb and his is my first grow closet and I know I messed up when i bought the wrong bulb and ballast. But at this point I dont have the money to go and buy new stuff right away.

I would like to know what can i expect from the plant if i use this kind of light through harvest.



_Pics are shown at week one. Will continue to update

I moved the clones into rockwool due to the fact that Moss is not to helpful.

I did it in a plastic container for lowes. I have seen it done in a cup before with no problem they just have to stay in some kind of dome to keep the humility as high as possible

As far as time im not sure. This is the first time I have cloned. So as soon as I know I will def post it.

Got a new dome and went ahead and put my low and slow plant in 12/12. Hoping the clones take off soon I need a mother and some plants to put in 12/12 after harvest. Flowering for about 2 weeks now
