general info: if you are thinking of cloning from flowered plants like me then this thread may be useful: Has anybody ever cloned from a flowered plant?

maybe i dont understand what you guys are trying to accomplish.
but couldn't you just leave the light one 24/7 or 18/6 and divide the room by some kind of partition. like a light proof tarp. or the Styrofoam backed mylar. separate flowering plants from veg plant. then just close off flowering plant 12hrs day. the only physical work would be the modifications, and moving the partitions daily.
thats what i did when i had only one light. pulled the one plant i had in flower to a light tight box for 12 hrs dark.

In my situation, YELODRVR, I can't really get out...I am handicapped. I am trying to accomplish having as little gap in crops
as I can with the one space 
that I have. I am a MMP patient and it is very expensive to buy where I live....(My partner and I need about an OZ/wk between the 2 of us, and to buy here on "The Dark Side Of The Moon", would cost and DOES cost us about $900.00/mo 
, and I am on a fixed income. So I must work with what I have. I have a very nice grow room (I'll post pics later today) 
, but I can not afford the money to buy anything for, or add to it right now or anytime in the near (or far) future 
. so in my case, ....that is what I am trying to accomplish......never running out 
....growing on a constant 12/12 
schedule, using cloning, or a combination of both. After seeing and hearing all of the great advice that I have heard here....I am going to go with a combination of both 
and see what happens. I want to thank ALL of you so much
. PLEASE keep the comments and advice coming. I listen to all of it. You have all been so helpfull, I can't beleive how many resopnses this thread has received so far
. Thanks Again, and please keep the comments, advice, criticism coming.Peace, Love and Tie Dye,

Saves Electricity aswell!!after doing some reading it seems smarter to use 12 12 for smaller places, so i might try it soon
i have a small place, worry about heat, dont have a lot of time to grow weed, and im gone off and on
so this may be an easy way to get plants... ive been reading that it only really effects the size not really anything poor from the plant... also i dont smoke tons or regularly so if i can grow a few plants then i might be set for a long time

I started growing 12/12 from seed becuase of the space issue at first and had to overlap like you did. It seems to be working fine. I am however switching over to an autoflowering strain, so i don't have to worry about that anymore. I think that is the answwer to the problem.

right on man, that was going to be my next suggestion. but were back to funding problems. somebody send this guys some seeds. i am broke or i would.
i understand your handicapped, with limited mobility, and cant get out . but what i am talking about is a $4 piece of Styrofoam. ok getting it from lowes would be a problem? the one in the pic has been cut down to fit. it was 8'x4'.
my set up was in 1 half of the bathroom, where the shower is. i just put this where the shower door was and moved the plant into the shower. the foam went all the way up to top of door. with yours you could do like the second pic. separate the room with the styro, then just remove, and replace the front and top for a seal.
dont know if this helps. but you had me thinking about it all night. anyway good luck.

would be quite costly constantly buying seeds!!

one seed crop of an auto flower plant which takes about 11 weeks to do will yield 500+ seeds....... so no, it wouldn't.
benifit of auto's over clones...... you don't need a mom.... if you have to move nothing is lost.

The guy cant waste 11 weeks growing time on a seed crop though, so my point was based on that alone, I know how to produce seeds cheaply.

You also dont need a mum if you run a constant 12/12 set up as I explained earlier in this thread. Hows the Lowryder in only soil with no nute etc .etc. grow going?

yeah your right.
but he has to get seeds for that too.
go look for yourself. pics of week five on page 17 https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/55591-lowryder-2-bed-grow.html
and he has the rest of his life to grow.

You seem to be a little hostile,have you read this whole thread? If you have you would know that he HAS NOT got 11 weeks to spend producing seed!!

so he will be dead in 11 weeks? you only have to pollinat one female.... so he will have to wait 2 weeks after his first harvest to get his seeds from th mom plant. and i saw it looked like i was bein an ass so i edited. sorry.
