Tiny 50w mother/clone box questions

[Dr.Bud]

Alright I got myself one of those New Wave T5 HO Floros 2foot long by 4 lamps using a total of 96 watts. This way I can just run 2 bulbs at a time when I need to and switch to 4 when im vegging my clones. I'm settign up my chamber right now, framed with 1/2in PVC wrapped in visqeen (black plastic with other white side). It will be ready is a few days, just takin my time with it. The reason I just want to use a 150W light an no bigger is because when all my lights are running and my fans and my 2 bubblers and fishtank heater then the bill will prolly be like 20-30 bucks a month which is enough of a jump in my bill and I think the 150W will do the job.

Justaseed, how long did you veg thos 2 plants and how big were they when they went into flowering to get those 3.5 under the 150 HPS?

I have grown before with bigger lights and I have done a 150W scrog about 2-3 years ago. I have experience growing so I know what Im doing now I just have to apply it in micro version of growing. I will post pics when its ready. Thanks for your info guys keep it comin. Happy hollidays!! Peace

the 150 yeilds 5oz, it was just the 1st time that i only got 3.5. i vegged for about 4-6 weeks usually. then i would move the plants from the veg room and put them under the screen. i would leave the lights on 18/6 until the screen was 60-80% full (strain dependent) then switch to 12/12. i found with scrog in small spaces it would be in your best interest to ad a second intake fan above the screen because as the buds thicken late in flower they tend to form a wall that blocks ventillation from below to above the screen. i used a 4inch inline fan(the 30$ ones) for this and it made all the difference in the world.

here are a few pics of the 150hps scrog set up (2ftx2ftx2.5ft) the left side is the 150hps and the right side had about 350 of cfls.
