Please help, rooting clones, dont know if light will work

[berrydizzle]

Ok, so I am going to trade a friend 10 clones for a 20 lbs co2 tank. He has 2 tanks so sounds like a good trade to me. The only problem is that I dont have a light since my mother is taking up pretty much the whole 125 floro. So, I went to Home Depot and purchased a floro lighting fixture that holds 2 40W lights. So I bought the lights, they are PHILLIPS plant and aquarium tubes, but when I plugged them in, they dont give the "white" light that my 125W does, its more of a orange light. Would this be suitable for the clones to root under or should I bring the bulbs back and just get 2 regular white floros. Help would be greatly appreciated.

^Thats the color of the light, unlike my other floro.

^Here is the color of the 125W. A lot whiter light.

Please help guys.

From what I've read lol, I'd say it'd be fine..... but then again that doesn't really do you any good, sorry. I'm wanting to get my cloning skills down myself... never done it

It'll work, but you'd have better results getting more in there. . . bring back the 125's if thats what you use. .Clones like the blue spectrum. .. and the wattages are higher. . .

Thanks bagz, i guess your right. Ill move the mother plant to the side to make room for the clone dome, and Ill set the other floro's up on the side of the mother that is out from the light. I think she will survive.
