Same as adult just keep the light a little high for a day or two to not shock them. Golden rule of thumb you want 50 watts per square feet to flower.

I have a small closet that I fit a 2' T12 shop light in, 2 bulbs at 20watts each, so 40 watts total and I can fit alot under it. So far i've had every clone taken ended up growing, the leaves can even touch the bulbs and wont harm them. If I were to use those cfl bulbs I would probably use 4 of the 9watt daylight bulbs.

I have a 45w CPL daylight in about the same area, and so far so good for seeds and cuttings. Put computer fan on top, lined with foil, and thermometer.

I do my clones under a 20watt about 12-16" above. Like was said they need very little light until they are rooted.
