Determining my box dimensions...Please HELP!

I want to build a 2 chamber box..one for cloning and mothers...and the other for flowering the clones.

I was thinking in the veg chamber 2 mothers and 8 clones....and another 8 clones in the flower chamber.

Do you think 2 mothers are enough to supply 4 clones every 2 or 3 weeks??
i dont know much about cloning but i would think that will cover 4 clones.

My goal is for a grow height of about 3 feet at harvest and i have 2 questions for my box.

1) How much space do you think i will need to support 8 flowering clones and the 10 plants in the other chamber. Like, is there a typical Space per plant i need to go by or is it trial and error.


I was thinking of using these overall dimensions for the entire box.

5'w x 2or 2.5'd x 5'h this is a resonable size but if you want to grow them to 3 foot it will need to be more than 5ft if your going top and bottom. as you will need 2 foot for your clones and that only leaves 3 foot but you need to keep your light away from your plants about a foot depending on wattage,

the extra height will be for lights..and reservoir...i wanna do a drip system.

I plan to ventilate each chamber from the top and intake on the bottom.

2) How strong of lights should i use for the mh in veg and the hps in flower
i use low wattage lights so i really cant help with this one sorry

Please HELP
