well right now the plant in flowering is on a 12/12 schedule, and I switched my lights, I use to have about 170w of cfl's on them with nice lamps that focused the light well enough to raise the plant into a 2ft tall beauty. I have cute approx. 6 clones, 1 died. 3 have rooted, now two more to go. I have them in a small setup on 24 hr light. when should i cease the 24 hr lighting? and keep in mind im kinda being ghetto right now. But that's personal, so don't judge

planted 2 out of the 5. one is rooted well enough to plant other two are not lookin to hott.
first, give the plants 6 hours of darkness, complete and total. Second, it's sounds like they never fully recovered from the cutting shock. Did you happen to place the tip of the cutting (Right after the initial cutting) in hormones and put it in an aerated flat making sure that the bottom is in the water so as not to get an air bubble in the stem? The stem acts almost like a wick at first until the roots develop and take over nourishment of the plant (It's not a plant until it roots). It's difficult to say what the trouble is by looking at pictures without knowing the process you used.

Actually all three are doing fine and only one is doing bad and it's because my cutting utensil wasn't strong at the time of IT'S cutting, it's newest. I always use brand new razor, cut at 45 degree angel, about 5 nodes down sometimes 4. I re-cut under water, then dip in hormone good. I use soil. Not rock wool, not peat pellets, nothing but soil and it results in about 1 week it roots. And two are potted and growing well and the other is yet to be potted because I have to move them. But I need the most assistance in the lighting category.
