You have seeds and to get a clone...you need to grow a Plant first from seed ( unless someone gave you a plant), so that you can take cuttings from it, to get your clones.

Heres a peek at my first hydro grow. Im using a flood n drain table w/6 pots and one DWC that has a pump to feed the upper roots 3 x a day. Here they are oct 21,2011. Last day of veg. The strain is sour diesel. http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2066/sammitydiesel102111002.jpg.
Here they are 4 weeks later on the 18 of nov. http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8440/dsc00010iu.jpg. For getting my clone off to a good start i built this http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2205/diesel050.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2993/diesel048.jpg works great.ill post some more pics this weekend.

Currently I flood the table 3x a day at about 45 min each time. when the plants were younger i only flooded the table from 15 min(young clones and seedlings) then as they got bigger i added 15 at beginning of bloom cycle then up to 45 min each feeding last 4-6 of bloom. Last 2 weeks Ill use just plain water in nutrient tank. Last 3 days I removed all water and then no light last 2 days before harvest.
You should be fine even if you use a 1000w just make sure the room temperature stays around 75 degrees Farenheit. Also make sure youre humidity is around 55-60 percent so your plants cant breath. Some people use domes to keep the humidity high while in seedling stage.... The main thing you need to be careful with is not friying your seedlings.... They are very sensitive at that stage in life... Best way ive been told is to hold the inside of your forearm near the plants and see if the light feels comfortable to the inside of your arm because that skin is sensitive and youll be able to tell if the light is too hot.

Hi Pavlin
The CFLs are ideal for at least two weeks, until the plant is past "seedling" stage. Once it is maybe four weeks old, the MH is good for the rest of veg ... the vegetative stage. HPS is ideal for flowering the mature plants.
CFLs work best when held quite close to the plant tops ... even 5 to 10 cm.
With HIDs, you have to have a larger space between plant tops and the light. For a 600W MH, I'm finding 24 inches (60 cm) to be a minimum.
As for negative pressure, anything you can feel will be good enough. A few Pascals are sufficient. cn
