wardrobe mother cloning station design

SO HERE IS A DRAWING I MADE UP QUICKLY OF MY IDEA...THE BOTTOM OF THE SHELF HAS THREE DRAWERS THAT SLIDE IN...I WILL ONLY BE USING THE BOTTOM DRAWER BUT ATTACHING ALL THREE DRAWER FRONTS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A NORMAL SHELF....THE CLONE TRAY WILL GO INSIDE THE BOTTOM DRAWER AND I WILL HAVE FLUORESCENT LIGHTING FOR THE THEM....IN THE TOP ILL BE USING A SELF BALLASTED 400W METAL HALIDE....I WILL HAVE 4 MOMS IN THERE AT ALL TIMES IN 8" POTS IN SOIL.....I WILL ADD A SMALL FAN AT THE BACK OF THE UNIT TO EXHAUST STALE AIR.....IM GOING TO SEAL THE DRAWERS AND THE DOOR ON THE TOP WITH WEATHER STRIPS TO MAKE IT AIR TIGHT......THIS IS THE IDEA AND I WILL STAR BUILDING TOMORROW...LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK...ILL BE ABLE TO STORE AT LEAST 32 CLONES IN THE BOTTOM AT A TIME FOR MY SOG EVERY 3 WEEK CYCLE

nah...i have it in a closet right now and its great actually a little too cool at the base of the plants its reading like 68-75....its like -25 here in canada right now outside...i keep my place cool so ill be good....that is only on e part of the whole wardrobe unit i will be using...im going to post some real pics of the actual piece tomorrow when i start getting everything ready.....this is going to be so easy to do tho...im also going to add a heat pad for the cloning section to make sure that it stays a really good temperature.....my buddy has this clong machine he originally bought for his shit but than stopped for a while...but i have it now and im going to use it for this first round to see how effective it is...it has misters that mist the clones stem until it roots.....kinda cool but i think its unnecessary...going to test it out..he payes over 350 new...i be sure to post pics of it soon as my white babies are almost ready to take cuts from...ill post pics of them later too!!!

WOW brrrrrrrr

What about August?

i'm telling you right now man if you stick a 400 watt mh inside there and only have a 4" computer fan for exaust your going to be to hot... and especially when it starts to get warmer... (what your not going to use it in the summer ?) you definately need a good 4-6" blower on your top chamber... i'd also switch them around and put your cloning chamber on top... for a few different reasons...

in the summer i have portable air con in the room for myself anywase....and theres no room on the bottom to put the 2 foot plants because its only like 18 inches tall.....if i put the mh 8 inches above the tops of the plants they will be fine....as i said for now the temps are very low even with the mh...i would be using fluoros but the temps woulkd be way too low.....the mh is just keeping them at a low enough temp that there not gonna keel over on me....its really cold here right now and the house does not heat very well....im goijng to start this plan today....and than maybe you guys can do the "i told you so" later....but dont count on it.....ill post pics tonight with a nice journal entry as well!!!

I'm sure if it becomes a problem later in the year you will make the proper adjustments. Good luck!

today i started constructing the cloning part of the chamber....i attached the 3 drawer fronts on top of each other and than attached them to one drawer at the bottom.....this will make it stealth.....i attached some pictures of what the full wardrobe looks like and the part i will be working with.....tomorrow i will hopefully finish most of it and ill post some pictures of my steps....im also going to post pictures of my white berry moms that are about 6 weeks from seed and growing very nice....i recently transplanted them to 8" pots and have had them under a 400w metal halide since about 3-4 inches......happy toki'n!!!

pull up a chair...my flower room is 12/6 feet its gonna be a nice one...these are pics of my white berry moms....a couple leaves burned at the top cause i let the mh get too close....they are growing really quick since i re potted them and seem to be very very healthy...

I can tell you from experience that these White Berry LOVE to be cut. Top them bitches and watch new shoots appear. The new growth comes on at about 1" a day or faster. I took 12 clones from my 2 Whiteberry moms 4 days ago and they already have mew growth that is long enough I could do it again. I am vegging under a 400 but still.
