Clone Help

[markkelly]

Hi i took my first clones the other day,all is looking good with them,iv got them on 24hr MH light at the moment,But could i get away with putting my light back onto 18-6,or is it best to keep it on 24hr in till i can see roots?

Cheers

They don't need intense light; you could use fluorescents to save a little energy during the rooting process. That way you could keep them on the 24 hour cycle without paying for the extra electricity. I've set clones in my veg room quite a distance from the HID lighting and still gotten good results, too, so 18/6 will also root clones.

Thanks for your reply,i would just fluorescents if i had any!! i'll try it on 18-6 cheers

I would keep it at least 4' above the clones minimum. JK
