Cloning Lights
Clones need plenty of light to root and grow, but that light needs to be less intense than what you'll use once it's transplanted. T5 and LED grow lights can offer your clones the vegging (blue) spectrum they need without the intensity that could take it out.
You can also choose to turn up the heat in your grow room, which will help your clones grow faster and produce more if you're looking for a stronger yield. Just make sure you keep your light and temperature levels within the parameters of your strain's strain guide when you're using a cannabis grow light. Also keep in mind that the closer your lights are to your plants, the better they'll perform. So if you have a small grow room, you'll want to go with a CFL or T5 grow light to get the best performance from your cannabis plants.
This is ideal for young, emerging plants you want to continue to develop and not just keep alive. It's also a great option for those who have limited light source space or don't want to spend more money on higher-end lights.
These lights also use less electricity, meaning you can spend less time on your lighting regimen and more time on your cannabis harvest. This is especially important when setting up your clones to take root, as you want to ensure it has enough time to get established before moving it to a longer-day light cycle. You can also use these lights to keep clones on the vegetative (green) side for a longer period of time, which is ideal if you want to increase the yield of your final product. Just make sure to mimic the light spectrum your plant would get in nature, not too much blue and not too much green.
