I've got a 600 over a 3X3 table right now and another 600 just came today that's going over another table. I don't hink I need another flower room. The plan was to have mothers of 3-4 different strains and every 4-5 weeks I'll be starting a new run of plants in flower under one of the two lights. If I have 3 or 4 mothers I can do one or two strains in each run of plants and have different stuff every month. I only want to use the mothers for two rounds of clones or so each and then I'll grow out a new mother of a different strain to replace it. Clones are $15-20 each around here so I'd be looking at around $120 every time and the quality is hit and miss so I figured I'd just keep a few of my own under t5 lights and CFLs and scrap or flower them when I replace them with newbies.
Besides, I've got a few people that are always hitting me up for clones so I'll keep the best 6-8 of each batch and sell them the rest. I think I'll be better off this way but I won't know for sure until I give it a shot, you know? A buddy of mine tried it and recently gave up and started just buying clones when he needs them thinking he'd get better quality bud for some reason but I'm not so sure. I think his problem is in his grow practices and not the clones he was taking. He grows under a 600 and only gets 1/2 to 3/4oz per plant, vegged for 4 weeks! I have vegged plants for two weeks and flowered them under a 400 and got 1 1/2oz per plant so I think it's in his growing practices.
