Will this work!? (Bubbleponics)

Well so far Its been a bumpy road figuring out the tricks of this new trade for me...but all in all for my first hydroponics grow I am satisfied and have really learned alot. So I've decided to continue this journey and make my system even more efficient....I've decided to purchase some more seeds 1x fem seed--Strawberry cough, Pineapple express, Lemon skunk, Sharks breath, Rock lock, and LA woman.

I've got here a bit of a stealth box in my living room obviously when its on you can see it plain as day but if I have company over that i dont want them knowing my business...its just a flick of a switch a few jackets thrown on it and you'd never know...
Right now its just a sealed tub but I have two 250mm fans coming soon to vent air out the top and just have holes in the bottom to have a passive air intake. Now inside I will have two mothers from which I will take cuttings from that will go into a cloner I built...(not shown) i can show anyone if you want to see it.. I've decided to go with strawberry cough and pineapple express first...i will keep the other seeds stored and when I decide I wanna switch it up I will flower out the mothers in the flowering room and start new mothers....but it will probably be a few harvests before I switch it up.

with now having the ability to veg and flower at the same time also combined with using all clones, I should have much more production in much less time. soon as the cuttings show new roots they will go straight to flower..

oh almost forgot the specs here... well I bought a bigger air pump for the flowering reservoirs so now I'm using my smaller pump (4 port) for the two mothers. each mother will have its own res consisting of two 10inch bubble stones and just shy of a gallon and a half of water.
For light I'm using 4 tubes that put out 75w of light each. with the lid fully sealed and all 4 lights left on all night the temps only reached 91 degrees, so these lights dont get hot at all. its a tight space for growing so the mothers will be tied down as much as possible but they will still be able to grow right onto touching the lights without getting burned at all. the only down side to this is that I am going to have to wait a long time before I can take 8 cuttings per mother...

well the fans came in tonight and they are much bigger than i thought they were gonna be, but I managed to get them to fit ok....now I just need to figure out how to get them to work....any help would greatly be appreciated. there is a positive and negative wire going to a plug...but Im pretty sure these things are 12volt so i cant just plug it in....

I would say the easiest way to get those fans running would be to get a power supply from an old desktop computer and just plug em in!

i hate to say this but what a waste of some potentiality good smoke, i bet your gutted i do feel for you honestly
didn't you think about height?
has anybody mentioned or suggested- low stress training? or scrog??

or even super cropping

im thinking maybe your not understanding this correctly....the net pots are on opposite ends of the tub, therefore with proper training i can virtually put these girls on their sides and let them bush out thick. they will eventually fill the box up i'm sure...but they are mothers and I will be taking 16 cuttings every 8 weeks so I pretty sure between that and the lower light levels, i'll be ok.

I actually just ended up wiring them to a 12v adapter and plugs the adapter in...I'm running 3 fans off one adapter, its working great. they keep the temp in the box at 76*

sorry chap my bad i thought the worst when you said you knocked the 2 down and posted without reading on i was bashed

That is a great setup for lst'ing.

its been 7 weeks now and one in particular is getting really close, its showing mostly milky with little to no amber. I may be chopping that one as soon as monday; as for the rest it looks like another couple weeks probably.

I'm a bit disappointed in the amount but the taste and high is pretty good. i only hit my 14 gram dry wieght on 3 of 6 plants the other 3 were pretty much duds that got left behind with the under growth... oh well... my next go round will be with all clones so hopefully i'll hit my 14 gram x 16 goal.. this thread is pretty much dead... peace out
