Hello All! I currently only have 1 room using a 600watt Mh for veg/switching to HPS for bloom. I intend on upgrading to seperate rooms asap, but in the mean time...
I'd like to start experimenting with cloning, and also have a small seperate area to break seeds, and veg. Im going to try to DIY this small set up http://www.greenpassion.org/showthread.php?t=225

#1. So, Whats the difference in a clone box, and a veg box? (Never cloned before ) They are both on the 18 hour schedule, and both are using the same lighting, Right?

#2. So, would it be safe to say, with this set-up, I could get a clone or 2 rooted and in there, along with a seedling( or 2) that I'm vegging out?

#3. Would I be cutting myself short by trying to veg out say 2 plants at a time in this set-up, then putting them into the cab with the HPS lighting-Cutting out the MH lighting all together? My reasoning for doing this would be 1- its a switchable ballast, not two seperate ones, so I can only run 1 at a time. 2- Instead of only being able to grow out 4 plants, aprox. 3-4 times a year in my single cab, I can get it running on an every 2-3 week schedule.. Harvesting like 2 plants every 3 weeks? (Is this even possible to acomplish in this set-up?)

#4. Would this be a better alternative to what I already have going?

PS. I will be vegging in 1 gallon hempy buckets ( plastic Folgers coffee-can actually) then transplanting to 2.5 gallon buckets in flower, So I should be able to fit 4 cans in there nicely? Don't know about after they start bushing out though?
Happy Growing,
JointGirl

A Clone Box Can Be A Veg Box Or Chamber, Just Some People Call Them Different. & The Light Schedule Can Be Ran On Any Veg Cycle, Cloning Is Easy, Do Alittle Research See Which Technique Will Work Best For You, Get Everything You Need Together, & Go For It..

If Possible, Just Building A Separate Little Space Might Be Easier & More Taylor Made For What You Are Wanting.
To Harvest Every 30 Days Takes Several Spaces For Flowering, And Believe Me It's Tough To Keep Up That Schedule, But It Can Be Done..
You Really Don't Have To Veg Long Before Flowering,They Almost Triple In Size, Unless You Want Big Plants.
Well, Hope That Will Help..
