I posted this in grow room design, but thought it would be just as pertinent and be more visible
Hey guys, I've been reading up on this board for a while now, trying to put together information for a set up using 2 closets. Lots of good stuff.
My goal is to have one mother giving me 4 clones every 2 months. When the 4 in the flower room are ready, I want to have 4 clones ready to bloom. NO soil btw.
My veg room is kind of small. 3.5 feet across and 2 ft wide. That rules out using 4 foot fluorescents because of the length across. The length front to back (2ft) prevents me from having even 2 2 foot fluorescents shop lights next to each other.
What I figured is the most i can do without going MH, is have a 2 foot shop light over the mother (using a cool and warm white t5?) Then, over the clone dome have 4 6500k 26watt(100) Daylight CFL's running with 1600 lumens each?
Would that be enough to grow seriously? take a look at my space and see if im missing anything I can be more efficient about.
I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks guys. Really helps to know I'll have some smart minds along with me on my first grow.
what do you think of this lamp for the mother? maybe 2 overall?

I can't find a straight answer on how many lumens a mother and clones would need to grow well.
