i am getting some clones very soon

they have been rooted

can i put them under a 600w hps about 1m away

should i just put them around the perimeter of the tent- (subdued light)

They need very little light while they're rooting - when they have fully rooted you can then whack them under stronger lighting. thumbsup.gif

or you could try and get youself a metal halide bulb, just for the vegging mind.

then bang your hps back in when ya go 12/12. check ya ballast can take a m/h first tho (dont think ya can just change bulbs in some)

good luck with grow mate thumbsup.gif

If their well rooted mate their ready to go... I mean grow. You can keep the light slightly further away from them than you normally would for the first day or two to let them settle in. 908

is 3 ft good?

How well are they rooted? Its 2ft away for a 600w mate to grow normally so 3ft for a day or two would seem fine then lower it to 2ft away.If their not FULLY rooted keep that 600 up off them. 908

they have got a root system- they were in tiny sedling pots

i repotted them last nite into 4 inch pots

should i wait till they root these pots out before lowering light

if so should i repot again b4 lowering light

908
Sounds like they need to root into the 4inches at least mate so yeah if you havent got a smaller light keep it up off em. 908
