it depends how much room u have for height and also how tall you want your plants to end up being. how often are u wanting to harvest?? id say do a 4 plant 4 week cycle. 2 flower rooms and 1 veg and mother room. or 1 larger flower room with all 8 plants, just at different cycles of 4 plants. id keep in a clone box for 1 week then 3 weeks of veg then 7-10 weeks or whatever ur strain is of flower. and take new clones every 4 weeks from ur mother. use 1 or 2 different strains for moms. thats what i would do if i ever grew dope...
