you could do it just about anywhere the soft white cfl will work as youre only trying to get them to root light requirement at this stage is minimal less is best as cuttings are fragile & too much light fries them so sunlight is out of the question it will kill them 75-85 degree is best i try to get my cuttings off bottom branches of plant seems to work best i dont think it matters where you do it but weak light ,the dome &misting with clean water is a must

hey d.s.s. its nice when things go as planned, i have a hard time letting things go too even if they are useless. tingpoon when i first started doing weed indoors i was looking at ufo's but funds being what they were i went hps. im gonna go back & research led's they very well could be the wave of the future i try to keep an open mind i've seen some beautiful plants grown with cfl's & t-5's as well & if something works good you gotta give credit where its due. now for daily report on pineapple chunk 42'' tall & had to raise light again today even after topping im running out of room, they have slowed a bit on upward growth & the lemon skunk decided to get back in the race ''rocklock'' holding steady in last place its doing very good by most standards its just running with a fast bunch, ill post pics tomorrow

I agree that the cfl & t-5 grows that i have witnessed are really good so I cant completely count them out either
report sounds good hope to get some pics soon

the babies are in my clone cabinet under cfl's until i complete current grow theyre in 4x4 rockwool blocks when they advance to growroom they should be about14-16'' tall then its all about 600w. hps i usually do 9 plants but this grow im reducing to 7[pineapple chunk,lemon skunk &rocklock] all indica & all fast finishers 5 of them are pineapple chunk & the other 2 were attitude freebies p/c is the intended strain i want 2 run with it seems to have the traits im wanting work is slow these days &''bud'' has been helping me out a wee bit 2 offset my overhead some this is the only hobby ive ever had that paid 4 itself.got outdoor stuff going too but the indoor stuff is my favorite hey don how is your stuff going??? i was happy 2 see a familliar face this is a pic of current grow
My lemon skunk is by no means an indicia dominant, at a little over 2 months old from seed mine is nearly 5ft tall and its only been flowering for two weeks, sativa leaves and all this is indoors in only a 3.5 galon pot. It doesnt have a whole lot of nodes either at 5ft and its not cause it was reaching for light its been only a foot under a 1000W MH or 600W HPS this whole time. If yours is indicia dom that is really rare cause my experience seems to be the norm for lemon skunk from my research.

bongsmiliehey deprave i only have 1 lemon skunk in growroom right now main grow is pineapple chunk all i know is what dna says & youre right even though they advertise indica /sativa it should read sativa/indica . barneys pineapple chunk is supposed to be all indica but strongly resembles the lemon skunk even after topping ive got a solid 45'' of growth im glad to finally hear from someone experienced with the lemon skunk it was an attitude freebie & im so far impressed with it too:peace:

:mrgreen:got 1 more idea & if i have to im gonna move my res. &shorten the legs of the stand my tub sits on that will give me an additional 15'' or so i only use the res when i mix nutes & flood & drain i can do that from outside door as room is higher than patio scarecrow,john wayne & southpark are on inside of growroom door for laughs:mrgreen::eyesmoke:i use drain to waste so no nutes are stored in the res.:peace:
