Ok, just wanted to run tis by the pros first. I Am a medical marijuana patient with Anlkosing spondilitis (It hurts like hell) Anyhoo, I can only grow 6 plants. 3 flowering, and 3 in veg. And a mother in there somewhere. Thinkin bout 3 clones, veg and then cloning them and budding the just clipped young moms, any ideas? (maintaining six). Trying to do this in a 1.5x5 closet area with flourcent lights. How many would be recomended? Are 2, 2' doublebarrels enough. One for the bigger and one for the clones?
Also, I got 1000 watter hps in a 4x5 flowering room. Bringing in a 6" fresh air combustion from the furnace room and venting out into the garage and up to the attic with a 4" fan booster. I'd be using a 4x4x4 T connected to the light to clear heat from the lamp and room up to the attic. Of course bug bombing the room first with all the other standard precautions. This is a work in progress, but basically waiting for clones from a caregiver. Does all this sound in order? can anyone offer any tips or advice.. thankyou Kind Colorado.
The flowering room has 3 Hydo Farm drip bucket systems. To too sure about the small clone closet yet??????:confused: :confused:dirt small ebb n flo???

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your illness. I'm petitioning now to get Medical marijuana on the ballot for Michigan. If I understand you correctly. maybe. I assume you can obtain clones and if you can they should all be female so no sexing is necessary. That limit sucks big time. If it were me I would plan on six clones. Veg them to the height you want. They will double or even triple thier height in flowering so plan accordingly. AT that time, take clones from all six. You are learning and some may not make it so you have to take a few extras, at least thirteen. Only put three into flowering, move the other three a little away from the light and move them into flowering two weeks later. The 2-2' double floros will do the job for vegging the clones. if you get good, 6500K bulbs. The t-5's would do it better.


Also, I got 1000 watter hps in a 4x5 flowering room. Bringing in a 6" fresh air combustion from the furnace room and venting out into the garage and up to the attic with a 4" fan booster. I'd be using a 4x4x4 T connected to the light to clear heat from the lamp and room up to the attic.
When it comes to venting, bigger is better. An 8 inch duct will carry 4 times the air that a 4" duct will. Use a 'Y' not a 'T' if you are going to hook them together. I would recommend using 6" until you get to the 'Y' and then at least 8" to the roof. The booster fan should be in the 8" line. The distance you are talking about will need the volume to push that far.
Do not dump the air in the attic, vent it to the outside.

Of course bug bombing the room first with all the other standard precautions. This is a work in progress, but basically waiting for clones from a caregiver. Does all this sound in order? can anyone offer any tips or advice.. thankyou Kind Colorado.

The medium for the drip buckets is Hydrotron? You should try to have the vegging plants ready to go in the same medium you use in flowering. Like maybe you start you clones in 1" rockwool cubes, transplant to 4" rockwool cubes, then into pots the same size and medium as your flowering plants.
A 1000 watt hid is overkill for six plants. It will not be as efficient as a 600 watt or the equivilent t-5 light will. VV
