that seems kinda cramped for height but is definitely doable. Are the Veg and Flower stages going to be in same space?
Are you going with a SOG in that space with clone cuttings or seeds?

You may need to set up a second spot for mother if cloning, as it is always in a veg state and growing and bushing. Looking at your height of space, that looks kinda hard to pull off. Still have to take lighting space requirements into account too. The space I am looking at is 7' 8" and I wish I had 9' ceilings. :)

doing a SoG you can flower up to 4 per square foot.....thats 24 clones in flower all at once or put 6 at a time in every 15 days and 60 days from the first batch you harvest 6 every 15 days and replace with 6 new clones.......lollipop crop baby.....check out the links in my signature:mrgreen:

my room is 6(H) by 4(W) by 2(D) and i assume those are your dimentions too. Im using a 1000w hps for my room and im doing 8 plants, there is no veg chamber tho so its just 48 sq feet for flowering, and i think im good, so i would either upgrade your light to fit both sides(at least 600w+ light rail) or use cfls for your veg chamber. My veg/clone station is a few feet away from my box, so i focus my whole6x4x2 spot to 8 plants flowering and i think ill be okay, my only concern is if my current fan is strong enough to pull the whole room and cooltube by itself, thru the cooltube, i have to run a test run first tho.

yeah i was thinking about this closet i have which is split in half and it was only about 6ft tall. However, i have a whole room available so i have about 8ft of height to work with. I am setting up a veg room for the mothers and clones.
My flowering room should be the same size. 2'W x4'L x8' tall.

Thats what i was thinking, 1 square foot per plant. not including clones and the mother.

thanks for the help.
