Light question for monther plant?

[chronicgrower]

hi guys, im onto my second grow of chronic and have taken a 4 week clone from my veg room and wanting to put it into a room so i can have a mother... my question is what is the min light (w) required to have the mother grow at a healthy rate?

Cheers

totally depends how many clones you want. if you don't need many then it only takes like 46 watts of CFLs and one mother. if you need quite a bit for a perpetual SOG then maybe you'll need some t-5 fluorescents and maybe 2 mothers. you can do it your own style really. just plan ahead. the only way you can figure it out is by trying it.

That's too much light for rooting clones. I can have up to four trays/domes using 2 x 16w cfls's.

Getting 25 clones/month is easy from a small mom. You should take a look at some info here on Bonsai moms, it should help you figure out what you want to do.

have a look at my journal i rooted 22 clones in my clone tray 4 x 40w T5.

Now they are in a cupboard with 1 x 130w to veg and all is fine how is it you say 4 x 40w is too much i had them rooted in 10 days ?
