Smile Questions about a mother plant

Hey everybody...
2 questions..
What kind of lighting will be sufficient for a mother plant? I want to use a fluorescent light so that I could use my stronger lights for other purposes. How much watts will I need to keep a mother plant going?

Secondly, how big of a pot will it need if it is in soil? Is there a stoppage point of root growth? If I want to use this same mother for over a year, will I be looking into transplanting into a huge pot?

Thanks again everyone for your help!

Cellar Dweller is starting to vegetate.

How many clones do you plan on taking... and how often?

Follow this link, it will answer most of your questions. Its from overgrow back in 2000, but the advice is great.

OhSoGood I keep my moms under 4 x 48" floro plant grow lights by Otis Lite, 24/0.
If I need some clones in a hurry I throw them in the flowering room under the Hps for 12 hours a day, and they produce much quicker.
Then back under the floros for slow growing.
