what is the best schedual (lighting for clones? and how holng should it take for them to root?
It's proven that plants do the majority of their root growth during the dark cycle. My 18/6 rootballs are always much larger than the 24/0 rootballs.I do 24 on under 2 tube 40W regular fluros, 18" above. Soil temp seems to be the key to faster rooting, IMO.
Takes 1-3 weeks, depending on temp.
If clones needed darkness to grow fastest, then why add any light?
Seems anti-productive. Plants, especially seedlings, do their stretching in the dark.
18/6 works fine. So does 24/0.
Then why not clone at 17-7, or 16-8,etc . . . since/if the less on time allegedly prompts thickest, fastest root growth?It's proven that plants do the majority of their root growth during the dark cycle.
