| I built a propagation chamber last night and was under the impression that a growing light is needed for the rooting process to take place if done indoors. is direct light needed? if so, how much? if not, what light source should be used?
thanks in advance |

| I don't know what you are growing but I have often started seeds indoors in jars or plastic containers. I have used a goose neck desk lamp with a regular incandesent 75W light bulb. It provides both light and heat. It seems to work well for me. As soon as the seeds sprout, I remove the top so they won't mildew and rot. Terry |

| Sorry about the above post. After posting, I realized I had clicked over to the ROSE propagation forum and I was no longer in the general Propagation. |

| I use regular, cheap flourescent lights you would use for garage, etc. Place them out 6 inches above the cuttings. |
