I use:
Brand: Grow more concentrate
Product: House plant food
I add 6 drops to one gallon and use the whole gallon on the clone bowl every 2 weeks. I water in between because the plants drink water fast and before you know it one of the plants will droop like a noodle if you aren't careful. The mother plant I fertilize once a month.
As far as lights go, i only use the sun. I open the blinds during the day and they get a lot of sunlight. I usually keep them outside, they are in for the coming winter cold. Outside I keep them under wooden beams so beams of unfiltered sunlight are hitting the plant all day but they never linger on the same spot more than an hour.
@Bach, With any luck ill have success like you once I move the girls into the ground and they get used to their permanent location.
@MadPlanter, I had some troubles when growing my first clone, I honestly believe the problem is that the clone I got just couldn't adapt to the bay area (or I introduced it wrong) so it grew slow and now its hard like wood. The clones that I made here however, are thriving.

P.S you can see how my technique was awful at the beginning. The branches that are dead died back because I cut off the clones wrong when I first tried my hand at it. I was cutting in the middle of the branch instead of just below a node. Once I started cutting below the node, my success went through the roof and the spots I cut from wouldn't die back as far.
