T5 Floros for mothers and clones ?

[coopdevillan]

I am very limited on how much vertical room I have so really want to use this system. With this said I am only wondering IF this will work, not I should change my setup. Will this get the job done ?
I want to purchase some T5 floros for my mothers and clones.
For my mothers I want to use a Four Lamp Four Foot High Output T5 Fluorescent Grow Light System. This system emits 20,000 lumens of light. With a 6400K bulb.

About this system:​

• Overall Dimensions: 47" Long x 10" Wide x 3" Deep
• Choice of 4' High Output 6400K GROW BULBS (F54T5HO) and 4' High Output 3000K BLOOM BULBS Included.
• High Output bulbs have extremely high lumen per watt rating - 5,000 lumens per bulb! This system emits an incredible 20,000 lumens of a wide full-spectrum of light!
• T5 bulbs are available in different light spectrums to allow for customization of light spectrum.
• Lamps emit very little heat, allowing you to hang the fixture very close the the plant canopy. Since this unit runs so cool, you can place the light right on top of your plants - THIS DRAMATICALLY INCREASES YOUR YIELDS!
• T5 bulbs have an outstanding 24,000 hour life expectancy (one year is 8,760 hours) and unlike sodium or halide bulbs, a T5 loses very little of its' light output over its' life.
• Solid State DIGITAL Electronic Ballast emit very low heat and is virtually SILENT.
  
• MULTI-VOLT Electronic Ballast operates on 120 Volt (household current) or 240 Volt AUTOMATICALLY! 10' Grounded Plug plugs into standard household receptacle.
• Top Quality Highly Reflective 95%+ polished Aluminum Reflector for Maximum Light Output unlike competitions unpolished "tin" type reflector.
• Locking Lamp Sockets hold lamps in place properly and will not allow for the lamps to fall out.

For the clones I want to use 2 2' foot T5 4,000 lumens floros.And a 6500K bulb.
About the system:

• Low Profile - only 2.25 inches !
• 24" (2 feet) Long MINI T5 - perfect for seed-starting or cloning!
• Two 2’ High Output Bulbs Included (T5 F24HO)
• High Output bulbs have extremely high lumen per watt rating - 2,000 lumens per bulb! This system emits an incredible 4,000 lumens!
• Lamps emit very little heat, allowing you to hang the fixture very close the the plant canopy. THIS DRAMATICALLY INCREASES YOUR YIELDS!
• T5 bulbs have an outstanding 24,000 hour life expectancy (one year is 8,760 hours) and unlike sodium or halide bulbs, a T5 loses very little of its light output over its life.
• Solid State Electronic Ballast emit very low heat and is virtually SILENT.
• Electronic Ballast operates on standard Household Current (120v)
• Innovative Design has ballast placed beside lamps, not above lamps (like competitive fixtures do) allowing them to run cooler and last longer
• Sleek Design and Attractive Finish make this the best looking T5 fixture on the market!
• Top Quality Highly Reflective 95%+ polished Aluminum Reflector for Maximum Light Output unlike competitions unpolished "tin" type reflector.
• Locking Lamp Sockets hold lamps in place properly and will not allow for the lamps to fall out.
• Convenient On/Off Switch

Yeah that will work fine. I have my mothers under a 4' 4 bulb t5 setup right now and it works well.

I am very limited on how much vertical room I have so really want to use this system. With this said I am only wondering IF this will work, not I should change my setup. Will this get the job done ?

I have a 12 pot Ebb and grow that I want to keep yielding every 2 months how many mothers will I need to have to produce enough clones to do so ?

Depends on the strain but probably two at the most. I have an OG kush clone that has been vegging for about a month and I could take 12 clones off of it right now.

A well established mother can give 40 clones every month or two.

I use 4 bulb 4' T5 for 2 mothers. I pull out 2 bulbs for most of the time and reinstall them a few weeks before I need clones.

T5's work great for clones and once they root, using all blue T5s will keep the internodes very tight.

Using this light set up how big will my mothers get ? If I can avoid digging out the area where my veg room will be that would be sweet. I have 4 and a half feet now. So how big will my mothers get ?

There are a lot of factors that effect this. Even with only 2 4' lamps running on my big mothers in DWC systems, they grow pretty damn quick.
You should be trimming the growth tips off of your mother repeatedly to entice more growth tips (future clones).
I can go from a completely trimmed mother (about 16" tall and wide) to a full blown mother ready for 40 clones in probably 3 weeks with all 4 T5s running.
You can train/trim them however you'd like to fit your area.
