My plan is to get a clone cycle going with my outdoor greenhouse. Currently I'm cloning inside transplanting to solo cups and then I want to get them in my greenhouse to grow out to teen size to donate to those in need. I live in Oregon and the summer solstice just passed, I have 2 questions for this thread. First question, with the solstice just passing will my clones still get vegetative growth without extra lighting in order to keep them from flowering? Second question, sense I assume I will need supplemental lighting in my greenhouse to keep my plants from flowering what kind of lighting do people suggest? The green house is only 8x6 and my clones are just going to be on tables lining the back and two sides. So I'll need to cover 3 table all 2 feet wide and 4 feet long so 12 total feet length with a width of 3 feet I was thinking t5 or led strips but looking for some advice, don't want to spend a whole lot. Thanks

sinc the light cycle of the mother to the daylight hours and they won't flower until the days are 12-13 hours.
 
Yes, the days are getting shorter from here on & some strains may sense this and start to flower. I would run some T5's in there & keep them on 18/6. Best of luck
I was actually thinking about having t5's just run from dusk for a couple hours like 3 to make it 18 hours and then 4 to 5 to 6 as the days get shorter. What do you think?
