Are my clones getting to much light? 6k lux

yes to much light . the less the better you only trying to form roots here. its ok to use a t5 but raise it up will say 5 feet
trim the bottom branches off those clones next run clip the leaves so there smaller .
suggest you watch you tube how to prep clones . you made a few mistakes

 

6000 lux should be fine for sprouts. The sun puts out over 100,000 lux.
Those plants look hungry to me.

 

just 1 is enough

 

use 1 bulb . like i was saying hit you tube educate your self .

 

really there is no need for a dedicated light. the light you use for your self is enough to clone . cant be shady but bright enough so you can read . not sure the lux .. if you want suggest buying a purple led from ebay 100 % purple cheap 25 dollar light . what i use works the best for the rooting process
your looking for this but purple in color .225 Ultrathin LED Grow Panel Light SMD Plant Lamp All Red Hydro Garden Lighting | eBay
i kid you not it really makes them root very fast

 

again to much lighting . put it this way if your doing 50 clones i suggest no more then 45 watts .

 

one t5 bulb raised high as possible will work. t5 are good lighting

 

14 days should be ready to plant . yes it will make them root better . see if the light is strong they want to grow using up stored nutients turns them yellow then they starve and dye. weak lighting just take a rest and concentrate on forming roots . also keep your temps under 70f ... best is 62 to 69

 

really no need to worry about stretch wile cloning . keep us posted in a few days might be better to double down on you clones cut new ones keep the ones that look the best can always toss them out .

 

You do not need to trim off leaves in aeroponics — only do that when you are propagating in a nursery flat with a humidity dome.

In aeroponics, you want to take huge cuttings because you get an added benefit when aero cloning: once the cuttings root, they pretty much go directly into veg whereas in rockwool or peat plugs, it takes much longer for the roots to establish and for the plant to find nutrients and begin to show new topside growth. If I were you, I would use only 1x T5 light. If your T5 has more than one bulb, take all out except for one. 24” - 36” from the top of your cuttings is fine. This is what I do in my commercial grow.

I have 8 aero cloners at work and they all have very large cuttings in them. Do not remove the leaves, and do not clip the tips of your fan leaves.

If your leaves are yellowing out, then your light is too intense. T8s and T12s work better with aero cloners IMO





This is at 14 days.



15 days (different cloner)

Do NOT use LED for propagation with an aero cloner. Waste of time. The light is waaaaaaaay too intense. It will work fine for cloning in a flat with a dome but not for aero.
