    Default Vegging with CFL..?

    was just trying to work out the best way in which to use the lighting equipment i have for a good vegging setup... hope someone can help..

    I currently have :
    2 x 125w CFL 6400k in sunmate reflectors

    1 x 250w CFL 6400K Bulb (no reflector) with socket and lead

    the vegging room isnt massive but not small either.. i have 5 clones at the moment just about to root.. they were taken from the motherplant about a week ago..

    i will take a pic of the room as it is at the moment bear in mind i only have one of the 125w lamps setup at the moment.. im waiting for the others to arrive..

    I am intending on flowering 4 plants at a time so i would like to have 4 plants in full vegetative stage whilst some smaller clones are growing along with the motherplant all in the same vegging room...

    also im thinking about putting my motherplant into flower and then taking cuttings from one of my babies when they are a bit grown up...

    any ideas would be greatly appeciated

    Thanks

    You can make a reflector yourself, I made mine out of white gloss PVC panelling ( had some off cut's lying around).

    I have a veg space and flower space, so I can always stagger 2 small grows (3 plants each). If I want to take cuttings I can do it just before switching em. Only downside might be is If I have to wait for a slower plant. Though there's no reason why I couldn't move the plant's from veg to flower 1 at a time as space comes free. I figure it will give me the chance to try differant strains then rather than sticking to the same.
