Hi peeps,

My clones started rooting 3 days ago, i want to know when to switch from 24/7 to 18/6 lighting?

Thanks in advance for reply's.

I'd just stick with 24 hrs of light. As long as they are female clones and you're not cloning to determine sex. Just my opinion though. You could switch to 18/6 whenever you like, doesn't really matter.

I have always used 24/7, but have been hearing that plants maybe grow better if you give them a dark period, including root's too.

Anyone else have input?

I do 18 just to save energy I dont think it matters either way after reading all the threads one way and the other they both make valid points. I am doing 18 to save electric but if I WAS doing 24 I would be gaining a day for each 4 due to extra 6 hours.

Great point, thanks!

I may give the 18/6 a try.

I think seedlings grow better with a night cycle. But I get bushier clones with 24 hrs of light and supercropping.

What i want to do is take 8 clones from 2 plants asap, what you people recommend for this?


Thanks people.

Ive tried a lot of different methods to cloning over the years. I've found what works best for me,. I think that thats what it comes down to, whats best for YOU. But anyways heres my method. Right now Im getting 100% rooting rate w/ Hashplant x Haze, Kushberry x Skunk and Violator Kush.

I run a small bubble cloner. I use 1/2 tsp of cloning solution to 1 gallon H2O. I ran out of cloning solution and used just H2O and still got 100% it just took longer to root.
I take cutting and make a slit up the stem w/ razor blade and put in cloner. The only light source on the cloner is a single 23 watt CFL that runs 24 hours a day. . I also have a heater in the cloner to keep the water warm. Once they root they go under a 150 watt HPS on a 24 hour cycle.
Heres bubble cloner:

I have a DIY bubble cloner too, I must say it does have very good success rate. I do it similar to ink the world above, I use 5cm net pot with clay pebble, my last attempt 8/8 success
