The simple way to do it is set your room temp for maintaining happy mothers. Aim for 75-78'F with 50% humidity. I also recommend 24/0 lighting if you will be using one room for all, as it is easier to keep constant.

Then, arrange your lights so that teh MOST intense light (I STRONGLY suggest a 400 watt MH with a Hortilux Blue bulb in that space) is directly over your mothers. Clones that are fully rooted and vegging may sit around the perimiter of that pool of light, and clones that are not yet rooted and under domes should be kept in the corners, under the least intense light. IF your room seems too cool for rooting clones, simply slip a seedling heat mat ($25 USD) under each tray. If that makes it too hot, put a piece of corrugated cardboard between the mat and the tray. Under the dome should be about 80+/- 2'F.
Now may I have a glass of water?


Thanks for replying to my question with helpful info, it's awesome that you took the time to do that. Here is your glass of water..and some pringles

Although I would like to use a MH in my veg room, I am concerned about energy usage and would like to use something more economical like a T-5 fluorescent set up. Do you have any advise on this? The veg room itself is 6x4 with an 8 foot ceiling. The flower room will host 12 plants and is 10x6 with an 8 foot ceiling.

Thanks!
sourpringles1 Reviewed by sourpringles1 on . VEG ROOM BUILDING HELP I understand that clones, mothers, and vegging plants all need different humidity and temperature. I read that most people host these 3 plants in the same room since they all use fluorescent light bulbs. Using a single room (5 feet wide by 6 feet long by an 8 foot ceiling), can you please explain how this is possible and if you need separate thermostats, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, and heaters for the 3 seperate stages of plant life (mother, clone, veg).
