About cloning I'm not sure I've never done it but heard good things about both flowering and vegging clones. I'd say vegging because I try never to prune a plants once it starts flowering so it can use all its energy to making buds instead of healing.( i dont think it takes to much to heal though). Get a rooting hormone that always helps and speeds up the process.
With flushing you should flush with 3 times as much water as the size of the container. so us 96 qts to flush your 32qt container and with you last couple of fills us a mild fert like 1/3 of 1/4 of recomended dose.
Aluminum foil is ok just use the dull side. the other side creates hot spots. I stick with your white walls though.
your soil should be good. dirt from outside can contain bugs and other baddies so store bought is good. Worm casting is a very good fert so that is good as well your plant should like it very much. you prob wont need ferts for a week or two maybe more depend on the soil. Remember always start with light doses of fert and work your way up.This is a great article about watering and should help

How long till mature buds well that all depends on the genetics and the effect you are going for. from the pic i can only guess a hybrid or indica dom plant so about 8-10 weeks of flower.
Pictures on When to Harvest - Trichome colours this shows you when to harvest at the correct time according to trichromes.
I cut trim and bag dry and cure in jars
Hang dry or Bag dry?
this is an interesting thread about which way to dry and cure.
Defintely by a thermometer/humidity monitor very useful and depend on what that tells you u can add a dehumidifier or other climate controls. Def get something for the smell unless it is not an issue.
Umm your growing cannabis!!? Its very very hard to tell what strain you are growing by pics of plants. looks to be a hybrid or indica of some sort. not very sativaish.
taking the light from 24 and gradually scale it back to 12/12 over the course of this weekis interesting. more natural i guess but 24 hours of light isnt really. I have no idea about the pros and cons of this. should be interesting though.
Your plant looks good and I wish you the best in your journy growing. something else keep you lights as close as you can to your plant with flourescent lights it can be very close. A good way to judge is stick your hand under the light and when its to hot for the back of your hand its to hot for your plants. I hoped i helped. this site is chaulk full of great info you just need to do a little searching. And all your questions will be answered. Also check out the journals to see plants all the way through its life cycle with great info.
