Mother plant size needed

[MrGuy]

The stronger the light the stronger the plant....and its offspring.

i gotta question i heard u cant clone if they have buds on them and my plant isnt even 2ft tall and all of the branches already have buds does any one know wut i did wrong

The 250 will be fine, but it'll cost more than the CFL's, and if you could do it with CFL's it be easier, but up 2 you, you have the choice

I was recently told this.

Can anyone else comment on this?

Say, I have a mother plant... small... 2sq.ft.
Now, say I have one 42W CFL over it...

My question::: Will the low light level cause the plant to "change" its genetics?

Is this true?

Thanks for all replies/comments,

No, but it could turn hermie from stress. Also, my friend was growing a plant on his window sill, and because of the insurficcient light, it never reached 5 fingers on the leaves, its only got 3 and now its 2 foot tall with still only 3 fingers on each leaf.

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.

COOL!!!

It will work great.
If you keep a healthy mother with 250 watts on her 18 houras a day in a
5 gallon pot... I would have to gues, you can get at least 50 clones a month from her. Probably more like 100 clones a month.
