This allows us to have 2 nutrient zones for beginning and ending of flowering. 2 ebb and flow trays would be good too.

The real trick here is the Sea Of Green. A harvest once a month is no easy task. Your timing of clones and vegging are critical. The flower room is sooo easy. All the real magic happens in the nursery with the mothers.

Think about it. At harvest you need to have another set of plants that were cloned. Almost 2 weeks to root and about 3 to 4 weeks veg depends on the strain. so 2 weeks after a set goes in a new set must be started. This can be a task almost impossible unless your mother room is right.

I would suggest just trying to make it to one harvest first and work on your mother room.

i though about it and im going do just like you said and start with one harvest. the though of cloning scares me so im just gonna go with feminized seeds for now. i plan on growing 6 plants each in 4 tubs just like you. would there be more advantages in running 2 600w lights in that setup?

for 24 small plants a 600 would work. It covers about a 6x6 foot area and a 1000hps covers about an 8x8. If the ceilings are high enough.

Two 600hps would be awsome in a 4x8. You have to leave some room
to get in and take care of them so 4 ten gallon tubs would take up about 4x4 of your space to start and maybe spread out just alittle going into flower. I would go with the 1000hps. If you veg in the same room get a 400 or 600 MH bulb to go into the 1000 swithable ballast.

If you can get clones put one in some good soil like foxfarm and make a mother. Cloning is very easy and you need to keep trying till you get it.

If I were in a place to get clones I might never had a mother room but I can take care of myself and select the starins I want. At the moment we have Hawiianxskunk and Papaya some S.A.G.E. Skunk redhair and NothernLights.

It is very very hard to keep up with more than 2 mother stains at a time.
