Clonebox construction please help!

[stephen94]

ok, so i have a bloombox that is 3'x3'x3' with a 400W HPS, However, i plan on taking clones before flowering in a week or two and need help designing a clonebox with either 250 or 400W of CFL's (125x2 or 200x2). I dont know if i should make it out of a rubbermaid container, should use plywood and build it myself, or what. im sort of on a tight budget here, so help me out, like i said dont know if i should use CFL's ^ or if i should get a 250W MH, kind of want CFL's for energy purpose, it would only be 2 bulbs, like i said 250 or 400, prob 250, and i just need to know the most effective way to take clones every week and harvest every week out of my bloombox, and i also need to fit mum's in there as well...please help!

id use cfl for clones and if you get a 250 wt mh use that for another veg room if you can and grow them up before flowering

ok, so i was just thinking of getting a 50 or 65 gal rubbermaid container, and using a 250W MH for 120 bucks, do you think this would be a good idea,? and if so how many clones can i fit under 250W MH then transfer to a 3x3 room with a 400W HPS?

I dont seeing that will be a good idea. Idk if the 250 mh will melt the rubbermaid container. Buy a mini greenhouse(cheap) and a heating pad for your clones. Id say about 8+
