I've read lots of posts on cloning, some say 24 hours of light and some say 18/6 of light.

What would be the best for Lighting?

You can see my progress and pics here. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/83765-my-first-clone.html

For clones, I suggest 24hour light to promote faster root growth.

Thanks cougarslayer some of the thread say the roots will grow better if they get 6 hours of dark.

so thats 1 vote 24 hours light.

Its all up to you. I dont think it will make much of a difference. This one of those debate things.

24 is recommended if clone was pulled from a flowering mother. This is to insure revert to veg. Also flowering clones take a lil longer to root.

Good point I over looked the fact I took the clones 1 week into flower.

We will be completing week 3 of flowering on Tuesday. Is it too late to take cuttings from the lower branches?

How long does the cutting have to be and how many nodes in total in order to be cloned??? trying to clone this flowering plant about 3 weeks into flowering..flowered early so the internode branches arent very long..

trying to take a cutting from the lower branches because cant do it from the top anymore

18/6 or 24/0....

If all you are doing is cloning/vegging for 1 to 4 weeks then it really does not matter which you use. Both methods work just fine for short veg cycles. If you are cloning/vegging longer than 4 weeks then you want to go 18/6. Once a seedling or clone gets around a month old then darkness becomes truly beneficial to the plants growth and overall health. It is needed at that point.
