the reason i was thinkin the 2 250s is cause I'm gonna clone and have my mother lpant in the same room. with the 2 i can adjust the height between the mother palnt and the clones.

They would work. But all you need for clones is a small cfl. After they root the bigger light would work out well.

How many cfls and do I use them in the 16/8 cycle as well? I'm gonna journal my grow as soon I decide on the set up. I'm thinkin about goin with 3 areoponics setups. I'm hoping to harvest every month with a "perp" grow system. 3 weeks clone 3 weeks veg and 9 weeks flower. I'm kinda new to the grow but 20 yrs in the smokin.

for clones I use 1-27w cfl. After rooting I add 2-100w cfls for veg. that set up works for 4-6 small plants. Anything over about 12" they need there own 100w cfl. I had 3 moms under the 2 `100w's and it just wasn't enough light. All three where about 24-36" tall. Iuse 24hr light for clones.

Will neem kill the fungus gnats in a rez? I've looked everywhere and saw one post that it can be used in a rez but never gave amounts per gallon. I'm going to order some gnatrol but till then I was just wondering if it was beneficial... if you still read this thread please reply..

We just crush up mosquito dunks and add a little ever couple of weeks, works well for standing water too. Got away from this thread for a while becuase of being so busy in CO but will be on for at least the winter(hate the cold) now that things have leveled out here.
