I want to build a 50w Metal halide grow box to keep one small mother that will yeild clones every 8 weeks or so. I want to start a 150w HPS DWC mini grow for some personal smoke an I would like to use a Veg room with these specs to supply clones as well as veg them for a week and a half so they can go into my 150w hps chamber ready to flower. Is this possible. I know about the 50w or so per square foot but these are the specs I have to work with and I would just like to grow some of my own buds. Is 50w of MH light enough to do this to a satisfatory degree? I wont just have a 1 foot square area, it will be a bit bigger. I will keep the mother right under the MH light and the clones a little to the side. When the clones have rooted in my bubbler I will put them under the MH light and move the mother aside and away from the middle so the clones can grow strong. I woul dliek the clones to grow about 6-8 inches of veg growth. Does this sound like a good idea? should I use Flouros instead? will I get the same kind of growth with either the MH or fouros? I would like the communities opinion and advice. Thanks
