First Time Cloning - Suggestions Welcome
PC you will find that your success rate will increase if you use a product called Anti-Wilt. This is a food grade wax, you dip the whole cutting in the mixture and it will coat the whole plant and help seal in the moisture.
With out if you will need to have a humidity dome or cut larger clones with many leafs.
Pure water is OK with clones because they are not under intense lights so the spotting is not a problem, make sure it's Ph though 5.8 to 6.0.
48" fluorescents lights work great for starting seedlings and clones. I always had great success with 4-48" ones, 2 cool white and on the inside bulbs 2 of the grow bulbs make for a good mixture of the light spectrum.
Mothers should be held at about 1000ppm to 1200 ppm of a balanced NPK mix. Using a foil spray right after cutting is also OK.
One more thing, when you cut the others leave a little stem on the mother and don't ever cut a mother back to the main stock. That will invite future problems, but if you leave a little stem attached it will seal up on it's own or you can even use a little clone powder or clone gel (my favorite) applied to the end of the tip you leave. This will make mother feel better and no shock (unless you cut it to bare bones)
I to am a California medical user as you but if you have more then you are allowed you can always give some away to other medical users.
Happy growing.
