Mother plant size needed

[Jerrodg]

How large of a mother do I need to take 36 clones every 2 months? She would be residing under a 250 watt light. I need to make sure that my current cabinet is large enough to support a mother, and that I could fill a double Hydro hut on a 36 plant hydroponic system.

Jerrdog..

If you are ony going to clone every 2 months then you don't even need a 250 watt HPS.. a couple of CFL's will more than do the trick..

: )

I fit 30 two foot mothers under one 400 watt light.

Gknome I have never used CFL's on mothers just clones, do you think they will strech?

[Garden Knowm]

Yes.. definitley stretch.. you know that.. LOL
But they are just Mothers..

Sparrow...

Have you seen this...
This was grown using CFL's, it is a 15 gram main cola from a MANGO plant that was flowered when it was 4 inches tall... it grew to about 24+ inches..
It was started fro bag seed...


The plant gave 3 ounces total.. from CFL... CFL's kept close can really limit stretching....

[Sparrow]

Ya I saw it when you posted it a while back. I did not know it was gkrown under CLFs though. Very impressive. How many watts did you use. That must have been one solid cola if it was organic

[Garden Knowm]

There were 3 plants vying for 8- 150(42)watt CFL's...
I was told the it was a MANGO seed....


It was Miracle Grow soil... LOL .. seriously...

LOL

I did not grow it...

SeeMore did..

he is a naughty boy.. it was his experiment... he thought CFL"s were for PUSSY's... NOW he is a PUSSY... and CFL's can be great.... go figure

LOL

I myself.. well I AM a grown ass MAN!!!!!!

i love you

[Sparrow]

Let me get this straight. He use 150 42w lights?
6300 watts total?

I am lost with the figuring about men and pussies but if it works for you thats great.

One love

Garden Knowm I realize I don't need the 250 HPS, but I currently have one, and am making the switch to an application in which I'll use 2 1000watt bulbs, so I figured if I've got it, I might as well use it.
