Clones: How much light should be given when you first start them?
How long does it take for them to typically take root?

 

[Pot Belly]

Not too much light is required. CFL's are great.

2.5 to 3 weeks. Longer if you stare at them:joint:

There is nothing wrong with 24 Hr or 14. Its all up to what is your bag.

Cheap n easy are cfl's with no timer 24 Hrs a day........Or use a timer with cfl's to save on elect $. You don't need 5000 lumens / sf for clones.

I use a corner in my veg room with MH for my clones with no probs. Any night period causes stretching - and for me - I don't want none.

The real deal with clones is starting with a healthy mother, cutting your tips at an angle underwater, using a rooting hormone, and setting them in a moist medium with high humidity no hotter than 80 deg F.

In 3 weeks, the lower leaves will yellow letting you know you have roots. Leave them alone - don't bug them. The top growth will soon explode.

If you have all the above your success rate will be at 100%.
