High everyone. ( well, i am anyway )

Hope you got one rolled, long post comming up!

Ok, i need some advice here.

My situation is as follows, after my last harvest, i got seeds, wich have been growing now for a few months, i've got about 15 female plants in all, being " Green Spirit " " Hash Plant " " Shishkaberry " and " white widow ". problem is that i only have 1 big light to use for flowering, i also have a few double bulb 4 foot fluos that i can use, I was planning on using the closet to keep the mothers and clones but no way am i going to be able to get 15 plants with clones in there.

I don't plan on keeping all 15 mothers, i'll be cloning the hell out of the ones i don't want to keep and they are going outside as soon as weather permits.

Question, will my mother plants stay nice and green under very low light from fluo in another bedroom, or will i start loosing leaves and have droopy stems........ I'm not concerned about growth rate, i am sure they will grow faster than i can flower in any situation. I have taken a bunch of clones already, they are about 1.5 weeks old and starting to stand up by themselves. as soon as they are big enough, i plan on switching my HPS light to 12/12 and flower as many as i can for a perpetual harvest, i plan to take a clone or 2 every week, and harvest a plant every week if possible. Any tips here would be great!!!

I just don't want to bring all my girls into problems, Hash plant will probably be droped from the lineup as they suck and are prone to spider mites, i've sprayed with neem oil but they seem to keep comming, while the other strains seem to be fine and untouched.

Ok, i realize this is a long ass post, sorry, but i'm looking for advise before i do something stupid.

I really did not want to use another room, it's hard enough to hide the current garden as it is. This is why i wanted to use the closet for mothers, I could probably fit about 6-8 mothers, and clones on the top shelf, but i'd need to get rid of some mothers, any advise on how many mothers i would need to be self sufficient under a 1000w super HPS? Soil for now, i'm experimenting with bubbling buckets rightnow, but this is new to me, so soil for now.

Yeah, no kiddin!

I'll have to dump some fems at some point, i will have clones from each regardless, so i can always make more if one turns out spectacular!


Last night i thaught of something, i might wait and make sure that all my clones root, then flower most of my mature plants. This way i can get rid of most of the " out of control " big'uns.

ARRGHHHHH i need a freakin warehouse with 1000000 watts of light! only then will i be at peace.

If the pigs would only turn their heads... .. .... i'd be knee deep in budz. heh heh.

You are righ S2, i'll post a few ???'s in the indoor grow forum. and see what comes about... I had originaly posted here with a different train of thaught and it kinda drifted into something else. sorry. , Thanks.

Wow, am i ever looped! just realized that i've been moved already.. so i'll just keep posting here.

What traits does one look for in a mother plant?

I've got tall ones, short ones, dark and light ones, bushy, simetrical and strange growing ones, major side branching to barely any side branching.. etc etc.

Again about 15 to choose from. I just don't know. I have not yet flowered any of these strains and have no idea of what the final product will be. i am hopeful however.

Is a plant grown from seed easyer to clone than a clone itself? Or does this make no difference?

So much to learn, so little time.
