Thanks

I always root my clones on 18/6 since my veg cab is on this schedule. My clones just sit over in a corner where they don't get much light. I prefer to run 18/6 all the time instead of 24hrs on.

Either way...

18/6 vs 24/0 is one of those old things most can't agree on. But from what I found out it make little difference eather way.

Now if you take clones from a plant in flower I'd say go 24/0 to help the clones change back to vegging.

gotcha.. thanks. my last clones i took 1.5 weeks into flowering and ran the lights for 24. they rooted in 12 days. this time im taking my clones before flowering.

Not true. Plants can live perfectly fine on a 24/0 light schedule.

A lot of experts, not in the field of marijuana but just plant sciences in general, say that plants grow more roots during the dark time.

I root clones constantly as I have a perpetual grow.

I root w/ 24/0 light in soil using a humidity dome and heating pad. I have at least a 90% success rate, I honestly cant remember the last time I lost a clone.

From my own personal experience - I agree.
