That's my question, because I have different informations by that. I heard that it's ideal to use only 100-200 PPFD if I want make clones.
How are your experiences by that?

Thank you!

Any led will be enough trust me you don’t need much power just a lot of light relefecting around the mother plant

you simply cut off where you have 3 growing parts at the bottom cut at 45 degree angle and dip in clonex solution

Okay, many thanks for your answer. Because I make clones the first time, and I'm very unsure by all that many informations. Yes, I used clonex, too.

Yeah more or less the equivalent of completely shaded sun. A 14w fluorescent T-5 will do nicely or a 10w plant bulb from the home improvement store. With a regular grow light, probably the lowest dimmable setting and highest vertical clearance you can set. If you have a good smartphone you can download the Photone app and check intensity at the plant level to verify you're in a good range. The plant bulbs are great, they get the job done and use very little electricity. I'm all about keeping the cost of growing next to nothing.

I see...yes, I use a photone app, it's not 100% exactly, but okay for me. My clones are many inches lower as my mother plants, and the app shows me a PPFD about 150-160.
I can put them higher or give more intensity, but I'm, as I said, very unsure by that.
My actually grow is still my second in a 120x120x200cm/ 47x47x80 inch tent, and I bought my clone, veg and mother tent in january. Now I will learn it all...

Many thanks for help with informations@all👍
