Question about lights

iv been experementing a lot recently with rooting clones as i was getting a lot of yellowing and slow rooting with a particular plant

my best results are suprising and im guessing some will have something to say about this but what im using at the moment is 2x 10watt 3500k T4 flouro tubes. the kind that you fit under kitchen cupbourds. i couldnt find a 6400k which i looked for for ages but these 3400k worked great. the eluminate 1 square foot of clone canopy and no yellowing and fast rooting

You mean T5 as there are no T4 lights only T5, T8, T10 and T12. I use four foot T8 lights over clones on 24 hours of light...also I advise against peat pellets as they arnt good for growing.Use rockwool or soiless mix
 
nope! i mean T4, there are a lot more sizes than you mentioned including a tiny T2 my friend.
peat pellets work the best for me, they are good for growing, thats what they are for. i cant stand rockwool. its hard to judge dampness. just when you got the right amount of air in there they dry up and wilt the dam clones. if you like rockwool fair enough but if you havnt used it before i suggest staying away from it. a soiless mix?? what do you think peat is?
 
i use blue spec 26w cfls and/or 3 under counter wal-mart grow lights. i dont know the spectrum on the under counter but they dont get hot and i have great results.

theres so many unnecessary posts where the answer is sooo simple. research. read similar threads and youll find the same answers so people dont have to post the same thing time after time after time.
