I use floro's for clones, 24" - 48" long, depending on how many I have.

was going to say the same things t5's work great for clones and moms.. either a two footer or a four footer.. you can get them from single bulbs all the way up to like 8 i think..

24hrs is what i use should be ready to replant in 2/3weeks, but they do like a few hours of darkness though, try 20 on and 4 off

You can clone 18/6 but 24hours of light seems to make them clone a little quicker

I use 24/0 for my clones, seedlings, and mothers

word?... i always had the assumption that roots did most of their development in the dark part of the photo period?? not true? could this possibly strictly pertain to soil growing?

It's all about photosynthesis, which can only happen....while the lights are on

always take more cuttings than you need? put the cuttings in a shot glass of water for about a minute or so, this causes pressure in the stem which forces some water in to it then dip in a rooting/cloneing gel then put them in a rock cube or the like. try 24 hrs of light for the first week then 20 hrs of light the rest.
as for succsess rate that depends on you my friend have patiance, i get 8 out of ten most times, dont forget to spray about 3 times a day as the leaves dehydrate. peace
