I do have a plant and the light is about to get replaced. Currently I am using eight 27 watt daytime cfl's. I jerry rigged seven y-connectors to run eight lights out of one fixture. I know it's rediculous but it works great. I am getting at least 10,000 lumens though I just bought a new fixture with new lights. I thought about HPS but the heat would be too much in the closet. I purchased a 432 watt eight t5 bulb fixture. It comes with both veg lights and flowering lights and it doesn't put out as much heat as HPS. What I want to know is should I clone these since they're females? A lot of the nodes look great but how do I know when to clone? I don't want to flower them. I just did it temporarily to know the sex of the plants. Should I clone then wait for the clones and then flower?
