i have an assortment of CFL's i was using when i was doing CFL only, but now my flowering plants are only under 12/12 400w hps.

how much light should i have over my bubbler only? and on what kind of light cycle?

thanks.

Your plants are not going to need much light at all because they using all their energy for root growth and not plant growth. I used a 15 watt cfl for all my plants, most people use one 23 watt or so. If you use more than that you will just be wasting it and it won't be good for the plants.

Keep the light at least a foot away from the cloner.

If you took your clones in veg. you can use an 18/6 but if you took them when your plants were in flower you will need 24/0. You should be keeping your bubblers on 24 hours a day. Good luck.
