Put your hand under the light, palm downwards. Move it so it's warm, but not uncomfortable. That's the point your plant should be at.
Get an exhaust fan sucking air out the top of the room and leave a hole or something near the bottom for fresh air to come in, to keep temps in check and supply the plant with fresh air.
Cuttings can be taken from when the plant is about 4-5 nodes high (a node is where branches come from the main stem) but it depends how big you want to take the cuttings. Imho the bigger a cutting you take, the better it's chance of taking root, as it has to use it's leaves for food while it grows some roots to absorb nutrients.
Mine are usually 6-8", and I can't remember having a successful clone that was less than 4". Others say they take small cuttings so it could be my methods, but large cuttings work for me, every time.
