WHATS THE BEST LIGHT CYCLE FOR FRESHLY CUT CLONES
if your using all clones "only clones"
veg with your light for 24/7 for two weeks and then switch st8 to flowering 12/12 thats for fastest results
or you can just normally 18/6 till the plant is the size you want it to be and flower but your plants grow almost twice the size when flowering so keep that in mind!
I don't use 24/7 (unles it is to try and rescue a dying sould)
My reasoning is that in nature there is no 24/7 light schedule.
If one is trying to replicate nature, 18/6 is the way to go and most common.
I agree with Blink, plus it saves hydro.
well just a thought i also use 18/6 the hole time for veg for seedling and or clones thought i would give him both ways of how it works
Roots like to grow during the dark cycle so it would be in your best interest to have a dark cycle for clones.
18/6
Cloning is not exactly 'natural'...
I clone under 24 hours of light with fine results.
Personally, I think that 24 hours is far safer because it is important to keep the temperature and %RH steady under the prop dome, and this is a serious pain in the ass to tweak if you are actually running dark time. You DON'T want dewfall on your clones. It's a good way to encourage mold.
Never thought about it that way Stinky. My personal experience is that I've never had mold in my dome and when I tried 24/0 my clones took longer to root. But last time I told somone that I never got a hermie from fem seeds, I got one 3 weeks later so what do I know.:)
stinky it stinks in here.........because your the shit!!!!
