last weekend I bought 5 clones. Put them in some Ocean Forest (they were rooted in their cubes) and put them outside. Within a few days the leaves all seemed to burn, so I went to a few grow shops to ask questions, they said the transition from indoor lights to sun was just too much for them to handle.
So it looks like at least two aren't going to make it. I picked up a few more clones, and just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing here. We have a dayroom which gets indirect light from outside. I bought a little T 5 light...like about 2 feet long, is 25 watts and 2280 initial lumens. I have it hanging over the clones a few inches away. I'm also getting that indirect sun reflection. Since a few of the clones have white hairs, I am leaving the light on 24/7 for right now...is that good or should I only have it on 18 hours?
I plan on putting them out into the morning sun for a few hours, then in the shade the rest of the day and under the light after dark. They still need to root better, especially the ones I just got. Am I on the right track here?
