What is the best way/method for keeping a mother plant alive and healthy? CFLs? How many? Total wattage? What size pot? I am trying to do this as cheap as possible as well.

A couple standard 4' flourescent shop fixtures will be the easiest and best for a mother, 4-6 tubes total. You don't want tons of light since you only want her to grow enough to get clones, and those fixtures with bulbs are only like $10 on sale.

With the 4' flouro's you won't have to adjust and fiddle with them as much as you would cfl's.

6500k blue spectrum bulbs is what you want.

Quick question for you guys. This is my first grow with CFL's. I've one nirvana bubblicous plant going on three 65 watt bulbs giving off about 3800 lumens per bulb. Im onto day 36 of flowering and im wondering if this looks too small. Supposedly it finishes in 8-9 weeks, and every other plant i've looked at thats around 30-35 days flowering looks twice as big at least. If i could get some opinions i would be VERY grateful!!! Thanks

Did my answer not seem like I knew exactly what I was talking about?

Spindoktor don't hijack someone elses thread to ask any questions that aren't related to the original post, it's bad form. Start your own thread.
