Hey all,
I have been taking a bunch of cuttings recently and am having some success. I am just wondering what the best photoperiod for cuttings is. I have heard/read that 12 hours with an equal dark period is best, but have also heard/read that 16-18 hours on with a shorter dark period is better. Some people even say that 24 hours on with no dark period is best. Needless to say, the more I research the more confused I become. So plant people, what works best? I am working mainly with peperomias and pileas. Lighting on the main plant tank (20L) is a 24" dual T8 with 6500K bulbs and the secondary tank (20H) has 3 26 w CFLs at 6500K. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
