Hmm, seems like 300 branches is a bit much under 400 watts. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but I don't think that I would try that much, or I would at least double that light. Unless of course you don't want them to grow very fast, which has been a goal of mine in the past. I'm thinking 400 watts for mothers would be good for about a 5'x5' space. So would I want 15 plants with 300 branches in that space? I guess, possibly, if I kept them kinda small. Hmm, and could I use 400 watts for more like a 7'x7' space? Maybe, if I'm not taking vast quantities of cuttings. And also, why are those sheep up in the trees? These, and many other questions have been much on my mind of recent.

Anyway the stony ramblings of a slightly dizzy individual may not make much sense right now. Hope I could help a little.
Opie Yutts Reviewed by Opie Yutts on . who's got the best cloning method? whats the best way to get about 50 clones at a time from 10 seeds.. iv'e got a 400 watt hps to put mothers under. im planning on having 3 mothers from each strain out of my 5 strains. then im going to top them all to create more nodes. once they have like 20 branches on each mother that i can clone at a time then ill clone all the plants at the same time getting hopefully 20 clones off of each plant. what do you guys think about that? will it work ok? how many mothers can i keep under the 400 Rating: 5
