I have 2 small rooms, both 4 feet tall, 7 feet long, and 5 feet deep minus walking room, so total growing space is 4 x 14 x 3 1/2. I have an exhaust fan about 200cfm, with a 12x18 inch inline box carbon filter that I made. I'm starting out my first plants under 3 sets of cfl lights, 16 100 watt bulbs. I'm doing ebb and flow for all the flowering plants, and I'd like to do some kind of sea of green method, a harvest every 2 or 4 weeks is the target. here's my first question, how should I go about doing this..
should I have 2 sets of flowering plants in different stages, one in each room, or split the flood tables in half and have 4 sets of flowering plants in different stages, 2 in each room. 4 sets should give me the 2 week harvest, or should I just do 2 sets?
another question, I have a dozen bag seed plants started. 2 of them were from a really good bag of bud. should I take the time to worry about taking clones from them before flowering? or should I just flower everything I have and not keep a mother from them? either way, I'll be ordering good seeds after this first grow, just wondered if it will be worth the effort of saving possible mother plants from bag seed.
