what whatt grow light is minimun for cloaning

im new to cloning but have about 90% success rate

i have a 250 wht grow light was using 24 hour light clones ware taking 3 week little longer

im now using 18 on 6 off and between 12/17 days i have pretty good roots and clones are more healthier than using 24 hour and getting 100% rate

but i would like to try use just 100 or 150 what for cost reasons . any suggestions is 100 wht grow light not enough ???

I put my clones straight into soil with 24/0 lights in a humidity dome. I have two 23w 6500k CFL for about 12 clones. They root in 10-15 days with good success.

What Moab said about the light..

I do my entire veg under this

Any wall will work, most pots are perfect height.

To be fair, I only introduce the second CFL after the plant starts asking for it.. the first one will get it deeply into LST land before it needs more light.


Good luck

cool ill drop down to 100w save a few dollor , thanks guys my friend said u neeed atleast 300 wtt bit i found him to be wrong on a lot of things

this sight is full of great and good info and good reading

I just through them under my teens in the vegetation room.

I FLOWER under 300 watt.. I veg under two blues (about 55 watt total)../ my average plant looks like this when it is ready to flower.



For what I grow, the way I grow it, those two 26 watt bulbs are perfect (most of it is done with one, I add the second when it needs it, any more and the plant wouldn't be able to stay short like that.. this is about all the stretch I get, and then they flower.
