I am in the reseaarch phase of building a similar room. I have learned that a ton of $$$ can be saved by use flourescent for the veg growth stage, with improved results as well. Then switch to the other lights for flowering. Also, I have a mother plant currently under flourscent, in a combo drip/deep water culture bucket. It is growing like crazy...becoming very full.

My issue is the right starting stock. Does anyone know (a coop) where I can currently find a few good quality clones, and if so what strains? I am prop 420 legal. I live in Orange County, but often travel to LA.
