dude... you dont need them close... anywhere from 4 inches to 12 inches is fine... i had mine about a 2 feet away... and they still worked... but its how ever you want to do... my only concern would be to much heat on the plants... but what do i know... its my first time too!!! lol... i vegged for 2 weeks... i am on day 53 from day 1 of veg... and here are my results with 3 cfls... 100 watts each... 6400 for veg... 2700 for flowering... i ran 24/0 on veg... and 12/12 on flowering... it is skinny... i am guessing its because i only veg for 2 weeks... i also have mine in a inclosed card board box with 2 computer fans shooting air in... i have a hole at the top to help push the hot air out...

2' away ?
FFS, you can lick a cfl & not feel any measurable heat & as all experienced growers know:
Less light = Less bud.
I don't make the rules.

Anytime you have lower shoots that are long enough.

You can really take clones whenever. Most take right before flowering or during their stretch period. You just want to time it out so you can put the clones in soil after they start rooting after 7-14 days. They can last a little while in clone if in a dome and under decent light, but if not you want them clones under your veg lights asap.

I like to cut them around 6-8" long, trim off lower leaves & scrape off the "bark" exposing the cambium layer on the stem for the first 1 1/2" or so - dip them in rooting powder & I just put them in a rubbermaid tote (in red solo cups) with a piece of plexiglass over the top. Two CFL worklights shining down through the plexi & I'm done other than misting every day or so.
Oh, and I like to give the soil a good drench when I put them in the dirt & last thing, seedling mat. It keeps everything nice & warm - makes them happy.

Normally they stretch the first 2-3 weeks of flowering, but some strains stretch more then others. I would suggest just taking clones from low branches that aren't going to get a lot of light or bud of them, and use those. Typically the lower branches clone better as well.

The solo cup and bag method will work just fine.

How long are your lowest branches ?

Many of the newer heating pads have an auto-shutoff.
Usually about a 2 hour max on time.
