mothers,clones and vegging

i have a small grow cab measuring 2.6 ft tall, 1.3 ft wide and 2.4 feet long
(weird measurements i know) i was wondering i want to keep a mother plant in here and maybe a few plants to veg for around 8 weeks, how many plants do you think i could get in there for veg and still keep a average size mother plant i would only want to take about 8 clones of her a month if even that. also what lighting would you recommend for the mother plant and veg plants i want to use t5s and thats most likely what i will use but want to know what wattage to use or how many lumens i should have for the mother then for the plants to be veggd. thank you

Go with daylight tubes. You have room for one mother plantpot and a small cloning bin. I usually put two cloned moms in one 12" x 8"h plantpot I make by cutting it from a five gallon plastic bucket. I would construct my cloning bin with thin white plastic to accomodate the daylight tubes. Your drain/air hole has to be located at the lowest point of your mini-greenhouse(cloning bin) and you'll also need to put a single layer of gravel in your bin to ensure drainage and other things. If you go with a flood and drain lava rock/clay gravel budding system you'll have no need for vegging because the clones can go in as soon as they are rooted properly. I keep my moms in rock.
