I had one try at growing a plant last year, didn't really put much effort in. Didn't even fertilise and just stuck in a pot of soil in a cupboard. Ended up with about half an oz, not much but I think my lights were not enough along with not feeding the poor thing she did well.
Now I am looking to do my second grow and been thinking about doing some clones in hydroponics. The first question I have is how many lumens does a mother plant need? I have some Cree CXA1507 LED's for the clones with 5 in a foot square providing 4200 lumens which seems a little below average but it's what I have. The heat sinks are maybe a little overkill but meh. Was a pain in the ass drilling and tapping them...
I haven't worked out how to raise and lower the plants yet / lights. Mothers are going to be on the top and clones on the bottom. Not sure if one or two plants should be in the foot square, probably one I think.
Here are a few shots of me testing the flood drain ubend. Thought I would share my experience, always found it useful.
