Ok, well that's a whole thread on its own. It depends on what kind of
effect you like.
Describe your favorite high?
Personally, I try to have a variety. I really love a strong
psychedelic sativa and they are my general fav. Particularly the super
silver haze I am working with now is really nice. However, I like the
narcotic effect of good indicas too! Different drugs for different
purposes. I keep several types around and make blends for different
purposes.
A nice pair would be super silver haze and maybe some O.G. Kush or
Granddaddy purple or a grape of some kind.

For your circumstances I think there are two options:
1) The best bet for cost/performance/availability/simplicity is to use
those compact florescent bulbs that they sell as incandescent
replacements. 100 watt replacements use about 30watts, and cost about
$10. You can buy generic work light reflector clamp fixtures for
around 3-5$ each. Use ~one per plant. These are prolly the best bet.
Alternatively, you might find some old school flouro fixtures cheap.
If so then they might be a good approach.
Generally anything you can get surplus for free/super cheap is cool
too...
The bottom line is that any little extra light helps.

Generally, its best to take clones while they are vegging. If you have
a clone already from her that is vegatative, take any clones you want
from the vegetative one not the flowering one.

Yes.

Not with clones.

Seed is currently the only way to do any breeding.
That means you need a boy and a girl. ;)
You can get them two ways.
The cool, but difficult thing to do is to take a female plant you
like, use hormones to create a few male flowers and then use those to
self-pollinate the female.
In your case, just find a male from a strain you like.

m...confused as usual :)
No, females won't pollinate each other.
Male flowers pollinate female flowers. Occasionally there are
hermaphroditic flowers that pollinate themselves and (anything else
nearby).
