The mothers are on 18/6 cycle.
When I first started the clones I had cut the from mothers two weeks into flower so lights were 24/0 until rooted then on 18/6. From what I read 18/6 or 24/0 has little effect. If I were to take clones off a plant in veg I'd do 18/6.
thanks for reading both journals feel free to ask me any questions you have.

I took the big plants out to bundle them tighter.
#1 (43" tall x 40" wide)
All bundled up
I did this to all 3 and I only broke off one small branch of #5's lowest bud.
The clones are doing very nice. The two from plant #3 are 14.75" and 15". #3 is the tallest at 49.25". All three of the big ones have been the same height for over a week and a half.
Clones from #3 and #5. #5's are 12" and 8.5".
sorry the last pic is hard to see with all of the light.
I put that tiny bud in the dryer box. At least I get to taste some bud soon.

And she is the little one. Also the one on page 1 that my nip head kitten ate half of.That girl is ginormous! BEAUTIFUL!!!
#1 43" x 40"
#3 49.25" x (got stoned and forgot to measure before bundle)
#5 43.25 x 28"
I'll post some mother pics if anyone wants to see them. I had to run home at lunch to raise the light. They were starting to touch the t-12's.

They are starting to grow even under these flows. I had to raise the light today because they grow into it.
From left to right 5A, 1A, and 3A
#1A 7.5"
#3A 8.25"
#5A 7.5"
I just noted that every thing with #3 was fast, biggest, or first.

Some stats
My Three Little Girls
#1 43"
#3 49.25"
#5 43.25"
All 3 of the original have beed the same height for just over 2 weeks. They are starting to plump up. The seeds are clearly visible where I put the pollin so that worked.
I still have no idea how long until harvest. About 10% to 15% red hairs.
My 6 Flowering Clones
#1-1 8.35"
#1-2 4.75" These were the last to root.
#3-2 16"
#3-3 17" These were the first to root and the fastest grower.
#5-1 13.63"
#5-2 9.97"
The clones were cut 39 days ago. They were in the humidity doom on 24/0 for 14 days. (average) I vegged them under the T-12 flows on 18/6 for 12 days. They have been under the 430 watt hps on 12/12 for the past 13 days.
The flowers are starting to show on all 6. I could not get good pics in the hps light so tomarrow I get pics in different light. They're asleep now.
I thought they were going to stop growing at 12" with going into flower so early. If they go over 2' I'll have to mod something in the cab.
Mothers Under Slow Veg.
#1A 8"
#3A 8.75"
#5A 8.25"
These are starting to fill out nice. I could cut one clone from #1A already. They are still under the (4) t-12's. #3A and 5A are growing the fastest. #1A is growing slow but very bushy.

Hey well.....you never know....unless you saw the kitten chew on the plants it may not have been him. So many little animals out there and big ones besides insects. Your best defense is to get chicken wire and make a circular configurement that is easy to take off or open up so you can work on the plant and lay it with six inches to a foot between the plant and the wire. You can tape the sharp pokey ends with duck tape so you do not cut yourself or other creatures. If insects are a problem you can get ladybugs to eat them or make a moat around the plant by splitting an old rubber hose down the center so that it makes a channel. Then you can lay that outside the plant in the ground at the hose's depth and fill it up with beer. Slugs drink beer and they will leave your plant alone. Slugs are a killer man. Also other insects will drink it or get caught in it. After a while they figure out not to go in there. Also if the beer spills into the plant it will not hurt it at all. Just some suggestions but honestly the cats and dogs never ate my leaves until they were almost done flowering. Also you can grow your kitten some plants for him to chew on so he does not get tempted. Catnip is awesome and wheatgrass is what they like. No worries!

Mrs Rocket saw him. It was the first one I had. I was growing it in a 2 liter bottle with the top cone cut off. I had about 2"-3" on dirt so the plastic was to keep him and his big sister out. It just set in the window at the time and Mrs Rocket caught him in it biting away. So we know it was the little nip head kitten.Hey well.....you never know....unless you saw the kitten chew on the plants it may not have been him.

Just look at him you know he's up to something.

The humidity is 38% to 45%. It's safe even if I spill a little all the conestions are up and/or sealed. If I have time the next time the girls are out I'll get some pic.Dude your growroom was wicked genius. The only thing I would worry about is the wiring inside the room because of the moisture but not sure if that is avoidable in any grow room. Your plants are sweeeeeeettttt!!
I was worried about this earlyer so I add some safetys.
Edit: I forgot to say thanks. And how cool your first two posts in my journal.

Well I'm stoned off my ass (sorry for any typos and what nots). I've got the Beatles on the tele, they just played "Twist and Shout".
I've just smoked this with MzRocket
That's the bud I broke off #5 a few days ago. I'm going to weigh the seeds as this is one that has been pollinated.
After smoking it was time to get to work so out came the girls so I could tweak things.
Plant ready to come out
and 
.
After the plants come out (I left #1 in) I send in my little helper for a looksee.
(kitten) "Do these look bright enough to you?"
(Me) "Don't stare at the sun please."
(kitten) "How about this one? Can I move it over some?"
(Me) "Please stop staring at the little suns."
Here are the clones out for a walk.
and 
shit I'm so stoned I didn't get the top in the shot.
Here are some bud shots as good as my camera will do.
Top 1/3 of #3's Big Bud.
Top half or so of #5's Big Bud, sorry fuzzy but so am I off a bit of this lady.
Top of one of the #3 clones at near 19" tall. (this is why I moved all of this again).
After the rearrange it's time for my helper.
(kitten) "I set the temp all by myself. Look it's 72 down here. Burr"
(Me) "Thank you"
(kitten) "I think you have room for some catnip. See just a little over there. Please for me? I promise I won't chew your plants any more. Please? Please?"
(Me) "OK buddy, I'll grow some for you if one of these fine people can tell us where to get the good stuff. I'll go to the garden store tomorrow."

save number 6....
i feel like im betting on horses... who will produce the best bud...
anywayz... by any chance are you interested in buying my 600w metal halide conversion bulb? its been used for a total of 7 hours...
im not sure when to start using it, kuz wen i was using it on my babies they immediately showed negative signs from the intensity...
i think im going to settle on cfl growth until flowering...

Quick update,
Every single clone is 100% fine.
#1 no damage at all.
#3 Worst damage 9 mid way up branches broke or were pruned.
#5 Minor damage 1 small branch broken and 4 more pruned,
1 23watt cfl broken.
1 shelf bracket (the one I was using as a support)
The plus side those little branches had over 30g of wet bud.
Do to the fact I micro wave dryed about 5g of #5 Mrs Rocket and myself have been so buzz all weekend ............ I forgot what I was typing.
I'll do a picture up date to night of the clean up, plant fist aid, harvest, buzz up date, and cab improvemest.
here is a pick of now.
