Looking at those new Floraflex incubators. Planning on spacing the ladies out well and only using 25ish of the 50 plugs. What lights would you guys recommend? Prefer LED for electricity costs but I know T5's are great. Which ones would you guys suggest?

Apart from the 50 pre-set plugs, the Mondi dome I am using and your Floraflex incubator look very similar. Both have that 7" dome with small vents.

For cloning - a 23W CFL an inch above the top of the dome works. Cuttings don't need much light and rooting is usually done in about 12 days. The CFL has been the go-to method for cuttings.

But for this cloning cycle, the lamp is on temporarily loan so I am trying my 260W blurple about 43" above the tops of the cuttings. So far, things are looking good. It appears that they have already rooted and they were cut 9 days ago. Looks like 3 days has been shaved off the rooting time.
