I only have the one HPS sodium at this point. I'll have a fluoro grow light up soon. Can I put these clones in the HPS for 12 hours with my blooming plants and then give them indirect light from a window for another 8 hours or so? Will that be enough to prevent them from flowering? Any other problems with this that I'm not thinking of?

Thanks everyone for helping out this nooby.

something sounds wrong to me with your plan- or maybe i just dont understand

clones need a wee bit of light until well rooted - hps is going to fry your clones

you need a very week flou and a humidity dome, bublier or ez cloner

if you dont have a flou (they are cheap) i would try just the sun maybe until rooted but in my opinion it may fail since enviroment is critical and i dont know what the weathe ris like where you are

get a cheap flou tomorrow -- unless you wan to loose your clones and start over again

i think you should do alot of reading

get a book from the hydro store on cloning
or go on youtube and watch Remo - i dont have the link but someone here will

anybody else???
