So im a newbie when it comes to cloning. I normally just buy from the collectives. Anyways, getting things ready for a fall/winter grow and want to clone some of my crop now before flowering starts. What do you recommend for a lighting on new cutting??

Cfls or fluorescent tube bulbs. Clones dont need much lighting.

Yeah almost any light will work.
If you have a powerful light raise it higher than you think is fine.
Then raise it some more.

I like the CFL's, The area is more adjustable, Or you could use a window if the sun isn't too intense.

250w MH hung 3 foot above the plants or T'5s fluorescents.

Or just stick 'em in a room with any ole light on 24/7.

Clones don't need intense direct lighting of any sort as they are not providing photosynthesis to plant parts.

Thanks guys, this cloning businesses is pretty easy lol. I had an excellent success rate with my first trial run.80% made it. And the roots are looking good. Learned from this one and will do some little amendments on the next go around.
