Taking cuttings from flowering plants (AKA Monster Cropping) - Question

Thanks for the response maybe I can look around in the flo section of forums and see distance for all setups

All you need for cuttings is an LED "lightbulb", the 60w replacement kind. You buy a lamp socket and some wire and mount it over the container or whatever you use. There is actually no good reason to ever use fluorescent lamps these days. They are toxic waste, from the mercury, and inefficient. If you ever break one in your home it's a problem, because you will be exposed to mercury vapor. Mercury stays in the brain for decades and causes all kinds of health problems so just don't buy fluorescent lamps ever for any reason, that's my advice, they're just to dangerous to have in your home, at some point you will break one and then your home is toxic. Since the LED bulbs became available why would you even want to use fluorescents? They just suck in comparison in all respects. LED bulbs work perfectly for cuttings, are small, easy to get and non toxic. Are you seriously going to bring a breakable glass item containing mercury into your home just to grow weed? That would be insane.

Just to follow up, my clones rooted far quicker than I had imagined they would. Some rooted in 7 days, most rooted in 10 days, and all rooted by 14 days, very much like regular clones. These pics were taken at 14 days.

I ended up cutting out the buds on about half the clones and leaving them in on the other half, I wanted to see if there was a noticeable difference. At the end of the day there was no noticeable difference. They all cloned equally well and timely.

Which method did you do?

just curious if anyone has ever cut really late into flower and if it makes a difference? I did an DIY bubblecloner thing and only 2/6 rooted, one strain didn't take but i like how shes filling out at about 5wks

edit: aside from having to revegg it which i know takes a while
