I've been doing quite a bit of reading lately about so called 'PC case growing.'

Most of what I can find are hyrdoponics systems available online for an arm and a leg. My reading suggests that because hydro plants mature faster that they can be started on a 12/12 light cycle within a week and a half, and finish an entire micro grow in a month. Since Hydro is definitely not for a beginner, most of what I am seeing others doing is making small, inefficient soil based systems which run into space constraints and thermal issues.

Many people have described better success using a SCROG system with LST and/or clones, but this requires having a mother plant somewhere to take clones from. If someone had the kind of space to grow a full sized mother plant, they wouldn't need a micro grow case in the first place...

So I thought- why not find a way to 'micro grow' the mother plant too? According to Greg Green's grow bible, plants grown in soil aren't ready to be put on a 12/12 light cycle for flowering until they are about 6-8 weeks old (unlike the hydro systems described above).

So here's my idea (finally I get to the POINT... I realize I'm rambling a little here)- Keep one pc case set up to flower a patch of clones (once the clones are old enough to go in there that is) and use the other case to propoagte the clones. I was thinking you could set up the flowering case with 2700K CFL bulbs and a12/12 light timer, then set it aside until it is needed. With the other case you could set up 6500K CFL bulbs with no timer for vegging. Then I figure you could start seedlings in the 6500K vegging case, but as soon as they are large enough to take cuttings from, take cuttings as clones, and THROW THE ORIGINAL PLANT MATERIAL AWAY. Then, keep growing those clones until they can be cloned and do the same thing, throwing away the original material. The result would be tiny clones which have the same age as the original plant right? If you repeated this process wouldn't you, in theory, eventually end up with clones that were the same size as a fresh cutting, but technically still be "old enough" to flower? Then couldn't you just lay a bunch of these in a pan of soil in the 2700K 12/12 case and grow it together into a thick bed of top colas?
