Clone Lighting?

[XxNinjaxX]

Wat r d schools of thought on Lighting 4 Clones? Is it best 2 leave d lights on 24/7 wen allowing them 2 Root, or just give them the old 18/6?
I'm using Fluro tubes, Cfl lamps, rockwool and a heat pad.
Any help appreciated cheers.

ive been cloning outside better humidity and constant warmer temps. seems to be working for me so far

I use 24hr light with flour's or cfl's

Well it's Winter here in Oz, so unfortunately that's not much help 4me. I can keep my temp and humidity constant with my heatpad, my question is just with the duration of light.
I'm guessing not 24hrs tho since u do them outside and that's not 24hrs.

Is that on Clones or do u Veg like that aswell wen using Cfl's?

 

[stumps]

on clones mostley. I still run 24hr on veg and either up the cfl's or use mh. will post a pic of my cfl veg when I get back.

I use cfls and keep the lights on 24/7 for two weeks then switch to 18/6 i also use cfls for veg

I use t5s and i root them under 18/6.once the clones rooted i put them under 24/0 for about a month then flower.

24/0 for clones (2wks at most), and 24/0 for veg (1st month) . 2' flouro for clones and 4' flouro for veg, then switch to 18/6 under 400mh. Gives very very high % of F to M.

24/7 MH here. Great success rate!

24/7 ? That doesn't make sense. What planet are you from?

24 hours a day 7 days a week=24/7

One plant. One 100w cfl. FYI the tubes in back are not on. sorry bout it being sideways.

Use a candle, it keeps the area warm while providing perfect lighting

Hope that helps

Hmm, a candle is definately creative, but im ok 4 warmth as i have the heat pad. I think il put them on 18/6 as from wat iv been reading, it all works.

Well, it's been a week n a half, n only one of them has rooted.. i peeled some of the rockwool back n had a look, then put them in a cup with sum clay balls. Im hopeful the other will strike.
They r in 1inch rockwool cubes - is it normal 2 not b able to see roots coming out the side after this period?

 

[jar87]

most of the ones ive done take two weeks to show

 

[XxNinjaxX]

Cheers, i have a second 1 showing signs of rooting now.. Fingers crossed for the other 2.
