Im looking to keep a mother that I can chop 50 clones from every 2.5-3 months. I was just wondering how many watts of CFL will I need? I have a 150w envirolight blue CFL. Would this be enough, could I get away with any less? The plant will be a bushy indica, hopefully keeping it to 2'-3' in a dwc bucket.

FYI I have a Green Crack mother that I have vegged since 1/1/11 under less than 100W (4x23w) and have been fine with that.

I have just moved her outside but here she is... This is her with her food. She is about 2ft tall and getting close to 2' wide now.

If I wanted to I could probably pull 10-15 from the size she was in that pic. She has taken off and I could probably pull 25-30 off her now. She's still in the same bucket but I will be putting her into something bigger soon.
so you reckon with a 150w over 3months i'd be able to pull 50 clones no bother?If I wanted to I could probably pull 10-15 from the size she was in that pic.

I would think so depending on the health and strain. You will have to give it a shot and let us know!
Would fimming it be a good idea to bush it out to get more sites for cloning?I would think so depending on the health and strain. You will have to give it a shot and let us know!

I actually don't have too much experience with fimming or topping so I can't answer that question for you. I am sure that there are others that will be able to point you in the right direction.
