Rather than using mother plants, just take clones from what ever you have in the flower tent, but do take them before 3 weeks of 12/12 and all will be fine. Just an idea.

Clones require a mother. A mother requires room, probably its own room. A 2x2 is just too small to run a mother and flower clones.
Getting a clone from "outside" your grow is asking for issues with pests or funguses or???

Oh I gotcha, we have an end table setup as a stealth mother/clone box in another area.

That is an interesting idea, I like it. You are removing bottom growth anyway...thanks.

How much do those cree cobs run? The ones you are mentioning. I have been hearing about this light all over.

I have about $55 in each led and another $15 to drive/power it. The prices have dropped since I build mine.
There are 5 cobs in my 2x2.5 running at 50 watts each, which is 1 cob per square foot and 50 watts per square foot.
It rocks.

Is there a reason you run from seed and not clones? I am just curious.



Yeah I see your point =) I hear lizard lights work well for resin production YES a "LITTLE" UV helps with resin production.T5s and CMH/LEC bulbs provide about 4% UV but with HPS or LEDs a small reptile bulb will add the missing UV and improve resin production and flavor. I also grow from seed because I don't have room for a mother plant and taking clones from plant before they were mature enough to go into my flowering room did not produce good results.

dial in your cloner before you hack the mother. ive seen a friend lose a strain from cold, he would not listen to ramp up the cfls in winter. i found warm temps at 80F with airy medium like oasis foam with auto ebb and flow waterings every 4 hours to give flawless rootings
