FEEL FREE TO POST PLEASE!!

I started to grow after a 10 year leave from growing. I decided on a perpetual grow in soil using clones.

I started w/ bagseed that ive been saving. Chose 3 of the heartiest plants to use as moms, took cuttings and put mom's into flowering.
I'm using Miraclegrow soil, vermiculite, perlite and blodmeal as my soil mix.
Using molasses every other watering and a 20-20-20 fertilizer.
Flowering w/ a 150 watt HPS and a couple 42 watt CFL's. Veg. chamber has two 42 watt CFL's and tow 26 watt CFl's

Got 2 females out of the mom's Killed the male and his clones and rooted the females.

Pic. 1
My closet space is divided top/bottom. The bottom has more height and is the flowering area.

Pic2 and 3
The top is my vegetative chamber for rooting clones and keeping the Moms.

I used black poly to lightproof the 2 spaces from each other...using a "periscope" kind of feel by layering the poly on the inside lip, outside lip and a final cover for the entire top chamber.....works great and still allows for air flow.

I use a fan at the bottom corner as an intake blowing up at an angle, blowing hot air into the cloning chamber...exhaust out through the clone chamber....works great by taking advantage of the heat from flowering cab and moving it where I want it to help root clones.

Pic. 4 + 5 are the original mom's that are now flowering.

Pic 5 + 6 are the moms now 2 weeks into flowering

pic 6 -10 show the flaps on the top chamber..first flap is on inside lip and goes up...second flap is on outside going down and final flap cover the other 2 going across the closet.

Misc pics after include tiny clone going into flowering chamber next to my 12/12 from seed experiment and a couple young flower shots.

Please feel free to comment, give suggestions etc.

The 20-20-20 is MG Nursery Select fertilizer, im using that for veg growth.
For flowering im using Jaks Classic Blossom Booster 10-30-20. It used to be Peters Blossom Booster but it got bought by Scotts, the Jacks is the original Peters.

The soil mix is 3 parts MG Organic soil, 1 part Perlite and Vermiculite, 1/2 part bloodmeal.

hey man, nice setup you got going. i wanted to do something like that, but i was worried about the light leakage from the cloning room. considering that it's above the flowering chamber... what do you do when its' dark hours for the flowering chamber?

I tried a few different ways, this is the one that has worked the best for me.

Note: The sheets of poly i used are 4 mill. that i folded up take 4 layers thick.

I used a 3 layer type of system.

Layer 1:
I lined the bottom of the top shelf with black poly and left enough extra to so that a 4 inch tall flap folds up.

Layer2:
I have the second sheet attached to the ceiling of the closet that hangs down, i cut that 6 inches longer than it has to be.
I tuck that extra poly down under the shelf.

Layer3:
About a foot below that I have a sheet that goes from wall to wall across the closet. This is the final layer that eats any light escaping the first 2 layers. I have velcro that attaches so i can flip it up and put it back easily.
