clone question

i recently got a clone from the club near my house, what i am wondering is what light i should be givvving them, i have two females in my closet about 45 days into flowering, i was told not to put the clones in there under 12/12 or they would begin to flower, what i am wondering is what light should they be getting?

I would use 18/6 that's what I usually use, I tried 24/0 but it wasn't much different.

I use 18on/6off but ya can give em 24 hours on if ya like

well if you can't get any CFL'S or a MH and if you can get away with useing the sunlight till flower time, or use the sun light for 12hrs and put under the hps for the other 12 hrs till flower time.. but if your goingto put themunder a light of there own then run a 24/0 light cycle.

Same here.

daylight cfls work well and are easy to find, you don't need many for a couple clones

you could always set it in the flower room then take it out and set it somewhere else befor lightsoff

at the moment i am using the sun in the mornings and the cfls at night, i am wondering if bring them back and forth from the sun to the cfls is hurting them or helping them, sometimes i do it with my females that are flowering and they show great ammounts of growth

I alternate sun with artifecial light with no problems. The key here is to allow a minimum of 18 hrs light. Anything between 18-24 hrs light on is fine.

it won't hurt a thing. put them under the hps and you will get way better plant growth. faster too.

ok thanks for all the info, and by daylight you mean the bulb right? right now i have a mixture of bulbs ranging from the grow lights to the plant lights to the cool white bulbs, for flowering which do you think work best?

You need to be very careful that you do not bring in any unwanted critters when you are bringing your plant from an outside environment to inside...

VEEEERY true!!

snail espishaly. they are as bad as mites. b4 you know it they have eat up your plant. they eat fast for a slow moving creature.

i check them pretty good before i bring them in every time, and i check them often while they are out side so bugs should not be a problem, i notice that on a really really hot day when i put one of my plants in the sun it begins to drop after awhile, i am just wondering what this could be from, when i put them back inside they raise up on their own?
