? about my clones

What's the best light to have on my clones after the roots grow in. I got two and if u see other post you can see the mother plant they came from. Its my first time doing this. So what all do I need to know as far as light spectrum, lumens, temp, humidity, time of lights. All info is appreciated

After they have rooted you treat as you do your veg plants and put them in that setup.

Fluorescent bulbs for rooting is the way to go. A good rule of thumb is 50 watts per square foot of canopy. I use a four foot T5HO while vegging (18 hours on/6 hours off), but even a few cfl bulbs can get the job done, especially with a smaller collection of plants. Start thinking about what you are gonna do during flower (12 hours on/12 hours off). There's a bunch of options. HID, LED, some people even use fluorescents throughout the entire grow. I try to use a 1k bulb per 5x5 space. If you are only looking to light something like a 3x3 area, consider a 400w or 600w HID lamp. Try and keep your temps around 72-76F during lights on. Ventilation is a big deal, and can make or break you. Look at an exhaust, and a passive intake + a circulation fan or two. Humidity during veg sould be 40-60%. During flower, I like to keep a steady 30%. Focus on your ventilation and temps first.

edit: no matter what light options you go for, temps and ventilation are debatably the most important aspects of the grow space.
