Clones straight to flower - Yield, Harvest Time and Advice please!

Here is my plan / scenario:

Basically, I wanna grow a mother plant and cut clones to produce something like this dudes I found on another forum:

The grower suggested this method instead of Dwarf Autoflower Strains like LR.

When something like those are cured, what would be the dry weight ballpark per bud/clone/mini plant?

Also, Do you think I can grow alot of these in something like this 36"w x18"d 72"h:

How many do you think I can fit in here? Since this shelves are adjustable, I would mount the lights on the bottom of shelf to adjust distance from plant as needed.

Could something like this be done? How much yield potential?

Thanks in advance

I'd love to tell you pounds and 30 or so plants, but reality is your not going to be doing a sog (sea of green) in a cabinet. Need good lighting for sog style and ample room. A cabinet like that can do a very small (like 75 watt) hps or some cfl bulbs with a few plants. Air circulation and cooling will be a must too.

I guess forget the cabinet lol


So what would be the best setup for clones straight to flower?

And is it possible to get pound or more in 10 weeks from cutting date? If so would i need more mothers?

Would 12/12 from seed to harvest method work better.

I want to try and get 1oz per plant and 20 plants minimum ;)

Based on the questions, I'm guessing noob. Lol. No offense we, we all were once. If not and you already know cloning, then to do 20 plants, each plant needs about 1 square foot. So your talki g alot of floors pace. I would set your sites a little lower (based on trying to grow in small cabinet), or if you have the space, shoot for a perpetual grow. Cut and root clones off your healthy mother and start a 2 week cycle. Every 2 weeks cut new clones. They will eventually fill that 20/20 space, with a harvest every 2 weeks. Yield will depend on strain and growing know how.

Wow, I thought I could have done 4 x 1gal pots per sqft. :oops:

So I would need 5'x4' for 20 clones or seedlings straight 12/12..

With that setup I guess I would be better off with 1 x 1000w hps & some autoflowers for quicker harvest time..

Previous setup:less than 200 watts cfl array,22 oz hempy cup w/hydroton medium,lucas formula gh flora,and crappy genetics.7 grams dried per plant.
current setup:less than 400 watts pll floro array,same hempy,luca maxibloom,quality genetics.One month into flower and I can see I will at least double per plant dry weight(fingers crossed of course,will not know till chop-n-dry).
Both are straight to 12/12 rooted clone.
Your cab can do it but with lots of tinkering.My original setup was in an armoire.My new setup I built my own cab 2x2x2 ft for flexibility and sog more plants.Once dialed in I will veg a week or under to maintain just under 12" clone for floro penatration range.
Even if new setup gets just 10 grams dry then I will be happy because I can fit 28 in there.:eyesmoke:
I hope this helps.

Follow daleks advice on party cup grows. Alot of people do it and love it. It's not my cup of tea as I like to guarantee good yields. One single cola is doable.
