I appreciate all the input!!


May I ask why you want to keep two mama's out of the bunch when you don't know what strains of plants you have? I wouldn't bother until you have a strain or three that you want to keep going.

How big is your closet (sorry if I didn't see it in the orig post)??

I used an 8-tube t5 in both flower (with 4 tubes on, later bought a 4 tube) and 6-8 tubes on in flower (combined with UVB cfl bulbs--not necessary).

For best results I did single-plant scrog with an 18x18 plastic grid I found at a thrift store, supported initially with bamboo stakes. I just harvested a girl with 27 colas (?) !!!

in contrast my WW which was only fimmed (I fim all plants) had 6 colas. and was stuffed into flower 5 weeks after repotting from clone.
