It would be difficult or impossible to divide one 2x4 tent. You could build a box in the bottom of the 2x4 tent, to keep moms/clones, but it limits your head room to flower.

It would be easier to operate two tents, but keep in mind you need to exhaust vent 2 tents which means 2 fans and 2 odor controll methods. And possibly a fan for an air cooled hood.

Having never faced the dilemma of having only 6 plants total not sure what is best. I would probably go with your idea of 5/5/2. You could then keep two different strains as moms, for some variety...tho I would run the same strain in cuttings/clones to veg and again one strain in flower. That way each run is more consistant with growth pattern and finishing time. Mix them and you may have a half empty tent in flower at times.

Hope this is helpfull to ya. good growing to you.:thumbsup:

thanks a ton for the tips/help/comments on my room i made a layout of my plans please look at it and critic it, this is the maxium space. my goal is since i can only have 12 plants by law and have limited space i figured i would try and harvest 4 plants a month. iam would like to grow short stub plants (indica strain) like max 2ft at harvet. this is in a room not a open area, so i need a walkway in. i will start flowering them when they are about 1 ft tall. remeber this is just for my own use for my medical condition so i dont need a ton. my goal is to get 3-4 oz a month....couple questions if you dont mind me asking i am completly new at this so kick me if needed, but iam learning so much already in a short time reading and reading and reading. i like to ask question before building something so i dont have to go back and fix it later because i didnt sudy and then it costs me more money and money is one thing iam limited on more then space, i would rather do it correctly the first time and use my money on my systen then having to repair it and cheap out on the system .

1. in the grow room picture do i need the divder wall in the veg/cloning areas or could i make that one area and grow both? if so then i can just use the T5 lights all the way across

2. can you look at the light set up i have and comment or recommend the best light set up in both the areas. i will be using cool tubes and ventaling it to keep the heat down, its in a cool area of the house so heat i dont think will be a problem. so if i need to go bigger with the lights let me know.



3. should i go with 2 x 400w hps lights or 1 x 600w hps in the flowering area



4. should i use T5 lights or MH lights in the veg/clone area
