how many clones/mother plants/plants will i need

[bigtopsfinn]

i was going 2 have

2 -600w EYE Hortilux High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
SPECIFICATIONS
EYE Hortilux High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
SPECIFICATIONS

LU250S/HTL/EN
Initial Lumen Output: 30,500
Mean Life Hours: 24,000
Color Temperature: 2100 degrees Kelvin
CRI (Color Rendering Index): 25

and some flouresents for the motherplants/clones...

was thinking of having about 15-20 plants in the veg room just needed more info on the mother/clones really

1 x 600w hps = 88,000 lumens... those look like the specs for a 250. I would aim for over 5,000 per square foot if you want the really big nugs. You could also look into some different types of hoods to reflect the light more evenly.

Also, you will want different sized pots. Plants from seed need bigger pots because they have more roots (also produce more than a clone). The mothers can eventually go into a 5 gallon, but you should really have about 3 to 5 different sized cups and pots throughout the grow... Plants vegging under 18/6 may also have bigger root systems than plants vegging 24/0

Definitely do a little more research before you start ordering supplies and seeds... Sounds like you have the idea, but try looking through all the stickies and the FAQ's, Basic Growing, Indoor Growing, etc... it will save you a lot of stress heartache in the coming months! :thumbsup:

Good luck :jointsmile:
