Plus I'm not really the best gardener in the world to begin with.. last year I had 8 tomato plants die on me! LOL! Closet is 2.5'w x 6'l x 8'h. I planned on doing a SOG, that way I always have a little bit around. I have another closet I plan on using as well for mamas and clones that is 2'w x 3'l x 8'h.
I think you're lighting is more than adequate for the closet size. good.

Ok, I completely understand..... most important is you being happy with your grow.

Instead of keeping mothers, you can take cuts just before putting in flower. (or just after up to 2 weeks). cuts should have at least 5 nodes. this keeps a perpetual cloning process going, never relying on a mother. that's what I usually do -- until I kill my garden -- which happens about once a year. :S

I might create a franken-mother and graft a couple of similar strains to one stalk. been thinking about it. i know someone who did, so I know it's possible.


good luck and enjoy the process! It's a shitload of fun.
