the temp where they are now is about 20*c / 68 fahrenheit. it might be colder im using old school thermonitor with the red line. iv put them on 24hour to try and keep in the heat. would this be ok?

There are ways but if you run 24/0 it will take that long and sometimes longer.

Heat underneath is beneficial but too much is bad.

I personally take clones from wherever i can and i cut at a 45degree angle and split the clones stem up about 10mm, then i dip into CLONEX into a presoaked rockwool cube with some mycorhizal fungi and trichoderma and into the propagator.

currently i have a NIRVANA PPP strain that takes approx 10-14days to root and a DNA Sour Cream strain that takes longer again almost 3 weeks .. But i dont use a heated prop or a heat mat.

thanks jon. i thought 24hour would make root faster

do u know the coldest temp my mothers can be? iv only got 24hour so they dont get cold
when i was on 18hour i thought they were tryin to flower because it was cold 64f/18c but it was just pre flower.

would u advise to switch bk to 18hour?

Its completely up to you and what works best for you.

The reason i have mine of 24 hours is as already mentioned keeps node spacing tighter and it saves me the hassle of sorting out timers and relays/contactors etc at extra cost.

I only run a 200w ECO CFL for my mothers and clones.

Ideally the less of temp change from night time and day time the less the plants will try and stretch. i try to keep my mother box at a constant 22C/72F

I know what you mean about the preflowers lol I cloned the top of my original mothers and they started showing while i was under 24/0 and i was like WTF. BUt then realised it was just the plants pre flowers. lol
