grow2bfree said:I find with clones, the less light the better. Too bright of a light makes them yellow and drop leaves, and that slows down or stops rooting.

Um. 24 hours for rooting clones. 18/6 would take noticeably longer.
I know this thread is old but...plants don't start outside as clones that need to root. There are proper ways to do it. You must promote etiolation and in order to do it successfully you must provide the necessary energy in the required quantities, period. Meaning a minimum of eighteen hours of light period. Who knows a few might make it I think you would be better off doing it right and put out at the first sign of roots. That's the only wiggle room here.
I have fresh cuts I put my lighting on 12-6. Using a LEDI read several tutorials but they never mention lighting. What kind of lighting do they need while the cuttings are in the process of rooting?
Do they need a specific cycle like 18/6? Or can I just leave them out in front of a window?
Really?? Ima have to try it both ways,why not since I'm learning to clone anyways. I don't really have much room anywhere in my veg tent to put any clones either so ill just try a few in the dark and a couple under veg light cycle and see what happens,makes sense though @Leew421.Technically you don't need light while cloning. It may actually speed it up in the dark. I ran some test a couple years ago with this. Roots don't grow in the light and the plant isn't using photosynthesis yet since it has no roots
Good grief man!get a humidity dome. high humidity low light 6500K cfl 13-24 watts t5 is too strong.put a variable heat mat under it at 79 F mist the dome heavy as much as you can the first 3 days every 4 hours.mist plants very light. suck off big drops with unscented white tissue. 24 hour light for 3 days. also put u short cup of hot water w sugar till disolved add cold water till it is 105-110F then add fast acting yeast. in 20 min you have plenty of co2 for a few days. 24 h low light CFL 10-8" above dome for 3 days. bottom and side vents closed or co2 bolts. or just blow in the dome whenever you think of it(dont laugh, this also works, put a co2 meter in there) . adjust the top to stay 79 F or use heat mat.NO nutes!!!!!just a real mild seedling nute at 1/3 strength. like clonex add 2 drops superthrive (dont laugh till you try this.) use spring water at 6 -6.3 PH. nor RO or distilled or city i dont have time to tell you why.do NOT use PH adjuster. poland springs is close and 80 PPM (the stuff the clones need.NO mirical gro dirt or fertilized dirt. get black gold or a super light high quality soil. maybe add coir (coco 50/50. add 20 % vermiculite or perlite fine. add mykos fungi, buy it or grow it,its easy. city water kills this benificial fungi.after 3 days take dome off for an hour a day if it is warm and crack top vent more. change your co2.o ya get 4" rootmaker prop pots. u dunk water these pots with clones. then little by little put light closer and more air and see how they react. after 14 days they should be roots squirtin out of the rootmaker prop pots. plant in a similar soil in a large final pot. (specially if they are auto flowers)use similare soil with hydroton pellets they hold nutes and water.gradually introduce your veg light source LED MH flourescent ... this works. i been screwin around with a hormone blast to the mother a week b4 i take the clones. more on that if it works. it seems to be rippin. we will c. i have failed e nuff times to know.i need to test the final product b4 i open my mouth and insert foot. ok any thought guys?
