LED light setup

I have 2 Blackstar100W LED and one 60W CFL. Should I use the 2 LEDs for vegging and CFL for flowering? Veg area is sectioned off 2x2 with no roof yet and flower area is like 3x2.5 no roof yet. And which one would be best for keeping a mother plant for cloning, or is that not possible with my light setup?

Is your question if you can flower with a single 60w CFL? I wouldn't think so, and you certainly wouldn't get much in the way of bud. If your cfl is 6500k then I would use that for veg and the LEDs for flower. You just don't have very much light, but it would be adequate for keeping a mother. Good luck!
 
My CFL light is 5500k. Looking into using all 3 together with 12/12 from seed schedule and try putting clones from those straight under the same light and see if I can get a rotation going with that and avoid a mother.

I have seen some people get nice results from 12/12, so I'm not going to knock it. I personally have the head room and tent space, so I vegged 24/0 for 4 weeks. Ya that 5500 will b good for veg. I read somewhere that a key to successfully flowering with LEDs is to add more "red" in addition to switching 12/12 when flowering. I haven't cloned yet(I figure to get a good run or 2 before I start cloning) so I can't be too much help with that one but best of luck.
