fluoros should be fine

 

can't advise you on whats the best medium because I don't really know

 

obviously if you have it anywhere near your flowering plants you'll need to make sure the flowering area is totally light proof from the mother area.

Are you better off with a seed grown, or cloned out mum? And if you do decide to use a clone as a motherplant, are you better to take from growth with nodes still appearing two on opposite sides, or with the nodes coming one at a time? Does that make sense? I've forgotten what those two forms of growth are called....

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Seed or clone it doesn't matter, take the clone from and area of the plant that is showing healthy growth or if you tip your plants do it a node lower and you have a very good clone.
