If you don't want to use the MH, then you can buy 23 Watt Cfl's at walmart for a dollar. But yeah you could use the MH, just watchout for stretching if you put it too far.

I dont think so i think i will just make a box just for my mother with a small strip floreseent lights. if i put clones in the same box as the mother i would have to do alot more work. How Big should the box be( for me the smaller the better?

not to encouragemore money spent but with an hid 150/175/250 u can take cuttings every 15 days with cfl/t5 probably every 3 weeks to a month so with a hid u can flower more plants quicker by taking clones and flowering them as soon as they root (s.o.g)

Well i was planning on taking cuttings every 12 weeks so thats not a issue...because i have a pretty small grow space...i was gonna veg for 4 weeks then flower for 8 under a 1000 watt hps/mh light...i was gonna do the get a harvest every 2 weeks but i dont think i smoke enogh to make that worth it...this way i just harvest w.e i harvest and that will deffantly keep me going for 3 months? Does that sound like a ok plan? and electricty is a big problem so id rather just have 1 good grow then wait tell im getting lowish on weed and start a new grow?? how long can i keep a mother for? after a while i will need to take clones from the mothers and flower the mothers...

if u plan on taking cuttings every 3 months your mother plants would be huge calling bugs...if i was in your position... build a setup for moms take cuttings every month and replace your mom every month. depending on howmuch you want 1/4pound 1/2 pond 2 ounces every month thats how much plants you put in the flower room and the other cuttings use as replacement mothers
