Cloning Light Sched

Mr I Can Do That For Half
I personally use 24 hours of light for my clones and my veg times. I ve switched to this schedule years ago for a 20/4 or 18/6 schedule and have gotten much better results and better plants overall.Thats my preference some say you need a dark period but I dont find it needed and I get faster growth in les time.Just my thought

I agree Filthy, I have experimented with less than 24hrs light and subsequently found that 24hrs works best for my vegging plants and clones.

we are experimenting with some clones ( first time) have them in the room with the veg plants but we run 20/4 light cycle. so we are thinking of makeing another spot for the mother doners & cloning so i can just use the main room for flowering stuff.

we got a eb-flow bucket system right now for the main room. takes up space. & thinking it might be easier to go with the rubbermaid bucket with the net pots in them for the mothers & cloning it looks alot easier & compact witch we will need for the space provided.
what do u think is it a easier system 2 deal with?

i was rthinking about this, and i remember reading that the dark period promotes root growth..... i vegged my plants for 24 hours light, and now my first clones are under 24 hour light. it would be itneresting to see if dark time promotes roots to start on clones though......

well we finally had my first succesfull clone, had roots on day five only using a small rockwool & humidity dome.

seems our other failures were from when we toped the plants we tried those in & they were 2 small & weren't formed enough. so we took from the bottom of the plant & stuck it about half way down the cube.
aslo guess the bigger fan leaves will store what it needed & little better 2 stay alive till it grows roots , right?

well we made a cloning bubbler box 4 cloning & i we are going 2 crape that( cause we figured out our problem) & stick with the dome setup. but will still use the parts for our mother area with a drip system so not a total waist.
