Doco's Mother/Cloning Cabinet

Beautiful find! Exact same interior dimensions as my closet. I do 250W flouro scrog in there.

For the clone area I have a 2' 2 bulb T8 fixture with cool white 4200K bulbs. If I need to, I'll get 6500 K bulbs but I think it will be ok for a week at time for clones.

4200K is a lousy spectrum in flouros. It's the yellow/green area. I'd recommend the 6500K. Reference this chart.

So what else do I need? A circulating fan for the mother I suppose. And a timer to run 18/6.

Sounds like you got it all under control. I think if you use a high output fan for the exhaust, there might be enough "turbulence" in the cab that ya might not need a circulating fan.

From what I understand, light proofing is not important in vegging correct?

Correct.

Volker Reviewed by Volker on 12-22-2006. Doco's Mother/Cloning Cabinet Been wanting to experiment with cloning and I ran across this cabinet for free a few days ago and it looked perfect my needs. It's 36w x 18d x 72h and I've divided it into a mother section on the bottom with the cloning section in the top. Only planning on one mother and 4-6 clones at a time. For the mother area I have a 2' New Wave 4 bulb HO T5 fixture with 6500 K lamps and I'll get some kind of side lighting later as the mother grows. For the clone area I have a 2' 2 bulb T8 fixture Rating: 5
