Beacause the box i made fixs perfectly on the oppisite side of where im going to flower (in the same room , on the same level .. the floor lol) , but im worried about light leaks effecting the flowering plants. As for the Mother , im not exaclty sure what u mean as i am very new ... im guessing your talking about a main Mother plant in which i use for cloneing? If so , does she need more room or something im not aware of ??

If my flowering plants do require COMPLETE darkness for them 12 hours , how would i go about not letting my Vegg box lighting come in contact with my flowering babys ?? Maybe make some sort of wall to devide them? Not sure what would work to ensure that NO light leaks out to my flowering plants .... Any ideas??

Thanks for all your help , im kinda like a blind man wanting to buy sun glasses lol ... LOST
Well, you don't need complete darkness. Have you ever been outside at night with a full moon? That will not disturb any plants that are "resting", however, you don't want any plant in direct light with a plant while resting. You will need something so they are not in bright daylight.

You haven't mentioned anything about ventilation, which is very important. You can't just close the door and let the plants sit there without fresh air, and lights do generate heat which needs to be removed. As far as a 'mother plant' is concerned, that's a plant you can take cuttings from for new clones. Generally speaking they are bigger and taller than anything you would normally have in vegging, but they are on the same 16/8 light schedule as the small clones.
