it does not matter. i keep them on a 24 for 2 weeks then switch bak to 18/6

many will give opinions.. sum will say direct, sum will say not... sum will say 12hrs, sum will say 24... its a big debate

in my exp. I've used 24/7 for cloning with great success. just my input.

im with stgeneziz 24 hr light 4 1-2 wks or until desent root growth i also put it n a hot box for humidity, peace

but light makes ur plant focus on phototsynthesis rather then rooting causing yellowed plant b4 rooted

18/6

that may b true but it helps along with constently spraying ur clones with co2 water, mines grew roots from 4 days to a wk

thats what im gonna do to, i have them in a humidity dome with 24/0 light right now. when they show roots all over then i will switch to 18/6.. thanks every1 for ur help

Once I cut the clones, it is 24/0 under T5's (low heat) until roots are visible out of the bottoms of the cubes, then it is under the big light at 18/6 till ready for flower. Works without issue for me.

i clone and veg at 24/0

Stgeneziz · Oct 12, 2009

mine take between 4 n 7 days mostly...... mostly.

18/6 is the traditional/conventional method, but hey I've also done 24/0 and with great results. As long as you do either/or and keep it consistent, you should be juuust fine

18/6 with T5's. thats more than enough, make sure to raise the lights up 2 or 3 ft above the tops for the first few days (less stress), get rid of that dam rockwool... areo cloning is the way to go!!! 99% success rate...

Stgeneziz · Oct 12, 2009

I think ur prolly right about the aero, but i'm still usin cubes..(lazy)
