24 hours of darkness for a mother or not?

Indoor Growing
1

I was a successful indoorth the clonse grower back in the early 2000’s. From what I understand some tihngs have changed. I looked around but can’t find a solid answer.

Should I turn the lights off in the room that contains the clones and mother? If so, how long shuld I turen the light off for?

I was told to leave it on when I grew back in the early 2000s. I’m hearing some chatter tthat a few houors of dark is good for the mother and clones.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I have done 24/0 and 18/6 and noticed no difference so now I run 18/6 always for veg to save electricity

My mother’s get their normal 18/6 veg cycle, but I give my clones 24/0 until I see roots.

18 on 6 off is perfect for mothers, 24 is fine, but imo 18 is safer as I’ve seen issues arise from 24 at times

I would recommend checking out the video below for a bunch of great info regarding cloning.

A bunch of ways to “clone a cat” but the info provided in the video is a keeper!
