I think you should grow yourself some ganja in whatever method you think will work the best for YOU!

Im starting to think that he wants to talk himself out of growing some buds.
I would say for you to flower straight from clone crazyoutlaw so that the light penetration would be better
You can veg for a bit in soil under that light, like I said though, Only a couple weeks TOPS. I wouldent veg any higher up than 8 inches if I were you because they will double to triple in size when you start to flower them.
And well lets be real, you cant have a closet full under a 150watt

Ok lets cut the crap AGAIN lol....it takes a clone a week to start flowering for real right?And then they grow some more for a few weeks right?
I guess Ima just clone em',then as soon as they root,Ima replant and throw into 12/12...I think the plants should be like a foot tall when theyr done right??
Another inportant question,since Im not vegging the plants,should I even apply GROW nutrients??Meaning should I just root,transplant,and start feeding with Bloom nutrients??Like this I dont spend money on grow nutrients!!

yes when indica plants start to flower they generally stretch about twice the size they were in the veg stage. Most sativas stretch to about 3 times the size they were in veg, although I do have one that stretches almost 5 times the size it is in veg. Really youll be able to figure it out after your first grow and get used to the strain our working with
depends on what type of plant you are growing.
an indica should be about 6 inches tall If you want it to end up about a foot tall, while most sativas can be a little bit shorter and still hit the 1ft mark when done flowering.
I would go this route if I were you though.
the way I give nutes I give them a weak mix grow nutes for a couple weeks after they start flowering along with a normal flowering food schedule.
Lots of people stop with the veg nutes as soon as they start flowering with no problems though, I just like mine to stay green most of the way through flowering.
However though, If your going to be growing from clones, Youll need a mom to keep giving you clones for your grows and she will need veg food defiantly.
I got some General Hydroponics nutes that are pretty good for cheap from this website
Sea of Green
dont order from them though, they left half my order out and my shit was damaged, just search google for another place to get them from.
a qt of nutes was only like $10, so that would be about $20 for veg AND flower food

Oh ok..I know that I need to keep a mother plant in veg,fed with a weak grow nutrient..however,you said I need my plants to be about 6 inches in order to reach a foot right?But this defeats the purpose cus Im growing in SOG....and SOG is usually without veg time...so lets say I dont veg,how tall will they be when I harvest?I dont wanna do a SOG if the indivudual plants only yield like 1 gram each!!

plants that are a foot tall can usually easily reach an ounce apeice. Growers that dont have as much of a green thumb or ones that dont tweek their shit as much as I do mine usually end up with @ least a 1/2o per plant yield.
If you dont veg then I guess it depends on the size of the clones that you root no wont it? If you cut 1 inch tall clones and flower them then they are going to do their 2 or 3 times flower stretch and end up @ 6 inches tall.
find out what hiegth you would like them to end @ and then divide that by2 if your growing an indica. the number you get= Thats the height they should be @ when starting flowering to reach that size..

Dam..looks like I gotta veg them.keep in mind that Ima use a 150W HPS to flower.and maybe veg too!!

you can cut 6" clones and get them to root but its always worked faster for me to make 1" micro type clones.

Dam,Ima veg them for one week I guess...sounds good.And yeah I prefer taking small clones as they will root faster n

depending on what kind of growth rates you get it may not take that long, It could take longer.
What strain are your growing by the way?

how would you think 1 CFL 175w 6400k light would doo for 1 plant? Decent yield if everything else is optimal?

Dude. 150W HPS is barely enough to cover like 1.5' x 1.5' area, maybe 2x2 if you're lucky. Check this out: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/83378-16k-lumens-hps-vs-cfl.html
you can see by the lux map of the 150W that it just can't cover that many plants. Four maybe at about 1.5' tall in, say, 2G pots. Three by three maximum in 1G pots in SOG.

That why I kept telling him to get a 400 watt light.
the 150 HPS light will spread to all corners of the room, but the intensity of the light will not be enough for 9-10 plants even if they are only occuping a square foot.

yeah, sorry, i didn't read the whole thread.
well, it would probably do for a square foot, but unless you are severely restricted on cost, ventilation, or heat, there is no reason not to get a 400W and just raise the light. I have a 400W cooltube that is much cooler than the 150W HPS i posted about. You get what you pay for.
