the bes i beluieve is a 250 MH. because 400 or 600 will cause real fast growth , having to prune it real reg. 250 medial growth ,not rooting out your mediums to fas,R.

I keep mines in soil.

Well my White widow doesnt seem to want to grow that fast....

But then again what do i have to worry about. Im waiting 1 1/2-2 months just for cuttings, so i should be ok..

Quick question: what size pots do you keep your mothers in?.... the 8" pots i have mine in now are for sure too small. ... im thinking 2 gallon pots maybe? 12"?

I think a nice 5-10 gallon dutch pot system would be lovely for a mother plant (you'll want tons of room for roots especially if you keep this plant for more than a year). DWC if not maintained nicely could root rot the shit out of your mother plants. I also could see it being a pain in the ass to change the water on a system like that with a monster plant vegging.

You could do a bitchen dutch pot system for less than 50 bucks (that includes pump, res, and pots price). HOW TO BUILD It's a really simple construction and you have a nice little bit of water in each pot to keep your plants nice and healthy should anything happen to the pump.
