Cloning Question

Hey there, I've just recently started some clones (3 Pitbull , 3 Maui Wowie & 2 Trainwreck, to be exact) and currently they are under 2 26W 100W equiv. 6500k CFL's on a 18/6 light schedual, planted in FF Light Warrior, Avg temp 78F RH 90 ( will take pics when wife gets back today with my camera)

My question is, what is better for rooting light schedual wise? 24/0 or 18/6? and as they are currently under an 18/6 lights on/off schedual would it stress them to switch to 24/0 if it is more beneficial for rooting?

Anyone? ,

newbie here but probably 24 as the extra heat will help them, read with the areoponics and cloning that a fish tank heater made them fly off the hook. Ive also read that over 20 cel is bad for roots. What method are you doing rockwool areo soil ect?

They were planted into Fox Farms Light Warrior seed/cutting start soil, I've heard a lot about aero cloning but, still on my 1st grow, hopefully 2nd if these clones take

keep them coved man to stop moister lose, it will help ya a ton. Even like so plastic rap (lol make a tent like with chop sticks) or large coke bottels with base cut off and lids on, did ya trim back the fan leaves a bit also. From what ive read cause i'am in the same boat as you well on my first here for a mother, leave it full covered for 7 days arpox and take on and off over another week so after to weeks there at normal humidy level. If ya can still take clones try some in rockwool as well, built my self an areo ready for the clong stage. Theres some great stickys man also use the search function and cloning for more help.

BTW man this has helped me tons http://www.drugs-forum.com/growfaq/GrowFAQ Basic Topics.htm

its just unreal the collection of info there and has help me a hell of a lot as you get to many noobs who reply bs and its hard as a noob to pick info from the guys who know there stuff here.

yo-both lightnings are good-it all comes down do your own preferences.but clones doesent ned much light.they do fine even on a window sill .

Just keep them moist and clean and they'll root. As said before, they'll do well on a windowsill. It can't be stressed enough to keep them clean.

18/6 is what i use. A lot of grower use 24/7.

I think it maters little unless the clones came from a mother in flower then you need 24/7.

Right on, thanks for all the help! Right now there under 18/6 lighting, and it seems that a few hours before the light turns off they pretty much droop to a wet noodle (all the foliage does) the stems stay straight up, when i turn the light on for the day, they are all perked back up, this is normal yes?
