Also, how many clones do you plan on taking from 1 mother plant, if it's more than 5-6 I would suggest growing 2 mothers. For your clone box where you plan to force flower(wich I assume) I would highly suggest a 4-600w HPS(High Pressure Sodium) with a hortilux bulb (they put out more spectrum). I personally have not used fox farm soil, but I have herd great things from members here @ CDot. Also you might want to invest into a AirCooled hood for your HPS/MH or pick up 2 really cheap 125CFM Fans or each box. As bob said, your $$ is going to rack up, but if you're going to push some of these clones off for some cash you could do real well.
to bob bobbinson, I am most definently doing a grow log wouldn't want it any other way. Thanks for the response trivium, so you would recommend going with a MH lighting instead of florecent for the seedlings/mothers? And you suggest 400-600watt over a 1000watt even though the prices are about the same? Is this cause I don't need the 1000watts if i'm on a budget and to save on the electric bill? Also you are right, I will need two mothers, don't know why I said one, lol.
