Can someone tell me what my GamePlan should be?

I don't know how to do this .....

I am growing in a 36"H x 34-1/2"W x 17-3/4"D stealth cabinet, I have it vented with 2 computer fans, and am using a 4 bulb 2ft t5 full spectrum.
I also will be growing in a 6 plant hyrdo system. ALL FROM SEED!!!!!!!
I have a 10 plant hydro cloning system too, both fit inside the cabinet and are very low profile. I need to figure out a way to grow it and then cut clones all in the box. So basically am I screwed from trying to use a mother and flower and veg in such a small space?

What do you guys do in this kind of space?
I guess I just have to grow from seed, and pull out the males and harvest with this set up?
Is it correct to assume with just a one box system there can be no continuous harvest?

well.. yeah.. you cant have a mother/veg/flower chamber... it just wont work... what i would suggest(if possible) is to remove the plants u wish to flower for exactly 12 hours each day and place them in a completely dark area ... this would mean that u have to take them out of the grow chamber and place them into the grow chamber at the same hour each day... for instance.. if u decide to take them out at 8pm then u would have to put them back in at 8am and do the same thing each day for 8+ weeks.... hope this helps.. good luck

that idea is ALMOST crazy enough to work ALMOST THX for the info

you could also keep mothers out side of this area (if at all possible) under CFL's or something in soil under 24hour lights so you could take your clones, then just grow 12/12 from cutting. I know a few people that do this, plants don't get huge but they still have a pretty high success rate on their clones.

yeah, I agree ^^ - I'd remove your mothers/clones/nursery from the cab and maybe run that in it's own cab/rubbermaid tub etc. 3' height isn't much to play with, you need to get some mature clones and j.ust veg for a few days then switch to 12/12 otherwise you'll run out of space/height real quick

if you have 3 feet how long should you veg for?

or is it better to just do a constant 18/6... or 12/12

.....and be ready for a serious torcher chamber! I 'd do as has been suggested(clone/veg out of your cab) and then top nicely before getting over 10" and lst a bit for the first couple weeks of 12/12......

Good luck!!

Probably not long at all. You need to calculate it out.

Instead of by how long to veg, you need to do is do it by plant height.

Figure out your space height.. (36") ..
take away the amount of space your light will takeup (6"?), then take away again the minimum amount of space you'll need from your lights (I don't know how close you can get withT5's (let's say it's 2")
How big will your pot/container size be (8"-12"?)

Let's assume the following
Light space is = 8"
Distance from light = 2"
Height of container = 8"

That's already 18" out of your 36" that's been taken up (half of your growable space), so your plant itself can only get to be 18" tall.

If you figure your plant will double (maybe triple) in height while flowering .. you're really looking that once your plant reaches about 6-7" tall you'll need to put it into 12/12's.

Seeing that you'll have to have really short plants, the best to use will be clones that are already matured and ready to go straight to flower. So start your seeds in your clone chamber (or for now in your cab if you don't have clones to use), grow and sex those, then start to flower in your cab.

Hopefully this makes some sort of sense.

haha yeah it does... to bad im starting from seeds

so far in my case the lights are 3" deep plus 2" from away from the light, and the hydro kit is 7" height minus 3" from sitting inside the kit, I would say I have a chance to get the plants about 25 to 27 inches

Based on that then, you should probably turn to 12's when you're about 8" high or so.

Thats what I will do. I can't do a mother here due to security reasons and a spastic wife ( I don't blame her ) so i gotta get the best bang for my bud Thx for the info
