Easiest Way To Grow a Mother Plant?

I'm going to be using a Grow Tent DR80 with a 250w HPS. I was wondering what would be the easiest way to keep myself able to grow?

I have 10 Top44 seeds. Should i grow a male and female in the tent, then colllect the seeds, then grow my females for bud until I get low on seeds?

If someone here could tell me how they would manage clones in my space, I'd like to hear.

So, if you had 2'8" x 2'8" x 5'3" space, with a 250w HPS...how would you manage growing bud in the tent, while growing clones preparing for flowering, to avoid having to use the rest of your (8-9 seeds)?

Thanks so much to whoever can help.

Btw, I plan on attempting to grow 2 females at a time using scrog method under the 250w HPS. Sound ok?

grow out a female and keep her in veg and takes from her top44 is not a very branchy strain so topping will be neccesary,or lst (low stress training)and when she has anof branching start talkin clones ,then take one of her clones and make into a mom and so on youll need more than one area for veg and flower room

What's an easy way I can grow a mother plant with a simple light setup?

Actually, do you think this would be ok to keep a mother plant alive? I just need to know what kind of bulb i would need, something i could hopefully get from wally world or home depot.



We used the light and cage for a pet Iguana, so I'm not sure how strong the bulb is

SO, what kind of bulb could I do with to keep the mother plant alive and well enough to take care of my clones as well?

metal halide

hey skitzo... check out my grow journal (link in my signature) .. i use a washing machine to house my mother plants in.. it holds up to 6 nice bushy mothers... but i currently have only 2 mothers and a bunch of clones in there...
just check out my journal... im sure youll get an idea of how u could use something u already have and just add 6-8 small CFLs... cheap and easy

btw.... i bought everything i used to make this from walmart.. . i found the washing machine next to the road.

Metal Halide are the best for veg thats what i use for my mothers and veg room, but you can keep a mother alive with a couple two/tree cfls.

yeah i use 2 cfl's to keep my mothers and clones alive i have 2 on top and 2 around it she's only a 18"-24" mother tho i use more for my clones tho
