A real hardware store, Lowes and HomeDepot both carry them.
A Contractors/Tool supply store also.

I stay away from the plastic ones.
The ceramic ones are less likely to melt and catch fire.
Even with CFLs, those bases get pretty warm don't they?

Thanks for the advice. I am actually thinking of hanging 2 of these in 2 of these for the majority of my lighting.

Hi guys!

I'm cloning tomorrow so i wanted to post some info on the rooting hormone. I have cloned with powder before (Hormonagro #1) with great results. I like the slow release of powder. This one is a gift from a good friend, he bought it in Amsterdam. (Gracias mijo).

Didn't understand their web but found some info via Google.

The secret of Rhizopon rooting powders
The rooting powders of Rhizopon have the unique quality to supply the active ingredients in full concentration over several days to the cuttings, giving the advantage of regular and uniform roots round the base of cuttings

How to:
A pre-treatment of cuttings with a powder-based growth substance is one of the most common methods of instigating cuttings to generate roots simultaneously and uniformly. Because of its spe-cial compound, powder has a slow release effect. Many plants may show a better reaction to this slow release of active ingredient than they would do to the faster absorption from a solution.

Thin layer
When working with Rhizopon rooting powder, it is important to make sure that the powder is evenly distributed in a thin layer over the whole base of the cutting. Otherwise the cuttings might show disproportionate rooting at the spots where surplus powder has been applied. Care should be taken so that no leaves or other parts of the cuttings come into contact with the powder, as this would soften the cell walls and damage the tissue.

Powder dip
The pre-treatment of cuttings with Rhizopon pow-der is simple and easy. The bases of the cuttings, one by one or in small bundles, are dipped into the powder concentration to be used. Root formation can be expected all over the part of the cutting, that is covered with the powder. After dipping the surplus powder -should be carefully shaken off until the base of each cutting is covered with a thin and even layer of powder. With spe-cific applications e.g. powder treatment of air layers, the powder can be applied by means of a clean soft brush.

Tomorrow we clone! any recommendations before 6am please Ill be Waking&baking&cloning.

re: Indoor Grow - Blueberry & Cream Caramel Fem

Everything went out great. It was a 5 hour operation =), I got around 30 clones total. I also got lots of pictures from the cloning, the seedlings and update pics on the main grow (some after haircut shots). I'm going out to eat, I'll start posting when I get back.

Cloning: Blueberry & Cream Caramel

Hi guys, I spent the afternoon cloning the plants. I got 11 BB1 clones, 6 BB2 clones and 13 CC clones. Here are some Pics:

I tried this 5 CFL bulbs but it was way to hot.

So finally I went for 2 x 40w:

The essentials:

The Soil:

The rooting powder:

Cloned:

In the Closet:

The humidity is at 90% an the temperature is 26c.

Out of all this clones I'm only gonna take the best 12 so I'll let natural selection do her job and may the stronger prevail.

Some more Pics of the seedlings and the main grow tomorrow.

Youd get more light to those clones if you used something clear, what your using is kind of opaque. Everything else is looking really good.

Agreed, I'll switch to a clear cover in a couple of days, I got to find a taller clear cover first.

Why does everybody cut the tips of the leaves off when cloning?
