I was wondering where this jewel of a thread went!

Mid spring early may is ideal for airlayer. Have anyone tried it around now?

Tried taking cuttings or air layers? I took some cuttings about a week ago, and will be taking some more this weekend. I'm rooting them indoors under a grow light though.

What type lights do you use? Is there a particular kind for grow light?

LED panels. 500-600 Par at 18". Once rooted I was growing at about 1k Par level (10"). Nodes are long but I'm not making shohin so it doesn't matter while getting them established.

Both that I have are discontinued, but it doesn't matter. Ignore wattage, etc. Just make sure it's full spectrum and look at PAR value.
