Thinking of Perpetual Help!

I'm considering attempting cloning...again but this time on a larger scale I'm buying another tent for vegging(clones,mothers,etc) of course a T5 (4ft- 4bulbs HO) my flowering tent (36-Inch x 36-Inch x 78-Inch) with a 600watt hps I'm thinking about doing a perpetual grow and just using the 3 plants i have already as mothers and taking cuttings from them root them transplant them into 2gallon grow bags then shift them to the flowering tent and let them continue there lifecycle there but a few questions needed before I begin this journey..

- With the size tent for flowering how many clones in 2gal grow bags could I potentially fit in there?
- What's your opinion on grow bags
- Would a T5 be enough for 3 mothers and some clones?
- Any other ideas? :?

i can give you only my thoughts as i am not an experienced INDOOR grower.

if you are "loli popping" freshly rooted clones, id use smaller then 2 gallon but if you did use 2 gallon, id think you fit as many pots in there as you can, pack them in pretty good i say
grow pots can be cumbersome for a perpetual, effective in principle none the less
i think your T5 idea will be great becase the light would be higher for moms, thus weakening it dramatically for the clones, this is important because T5 is very intense light for babies
i think youre on the right track, good luck.

FYI- I have cloned (first time a couple months ago) about 15 times or so with a 100% success rate using entirely products from home depot. Jiffy pots and their cloning powder. Cloning is not at all difficult

Thanks for the advice chasmtz. Do you have the light or experience with it? Reason I asked is because T5 are usually used for mothers and very perferred for clones because you can almost put it right on top without having to worry about temps/burning I should have been more clear. Is that enough light for 3 mothers and some clones
