Im seeing i will have a littlebit more space in my shed, and wondered if it could work with a mini tent for veg for a mother plant and clones in same, that i can use as soon as harvest is done in my main tent? wont that be alot more effective then buying seeds over and over from scratch? and risk customs/police detecting a package eventually etc..
Yes. If you have the room in your grow space to keep mothers it's a plus as you'll be able to reduce your veg time and not have to contend with male/female issues straight photoperiods present. As you mentioned, it also insulates you from law enforcement taking an interest in your project.

Veg doesn't NEED a high intensity lamp like flower. A cheap LED panel, T5 or even flourescent lighting should be enough. IMO, with LED panels as cheap as they are I would go with that mostly because it gives me a little more flexibility if my main light dies I at least have something to light them with while I replace the broken flower light.

This light should be more than enough for what you want to do and you'll be able to offer a full spectrum of light energy.

with a 60x90x60 tent for veg i would use this kind of light you'd probably be able to find form any DIY shop

60cm 10W led tube x 4 or x 6 i have had a 60x90 tent with 4 of this cheap tubes that worked great for veg with bonsaï mothers and clones


EDIT: you can probably find similar light easily in norway

I would choose LED lights.
- Higher light output per watt
- Variable intensity for the various growth stages.
- Energy savings.
- Light output will not diminish over time the way it will with fluorescent lights, so less need to replace tubes.
- No need to change tubes for vegetation versus flowering.
- Less heat.

I recommend the Viper Spectra P2000. This lamp will be adequate for both vegetative and flowering phase. If you scroll down and read the information on their website it will specify the area the light will cover for vegetative and flowering.

well the difference is moslty about how many you can put next to each others without losing space
then bigger pots mean bigger roots meaning the plants is able to sustain more growth overall

this guy is pulling 10gr per plant x 23 plants wich give 0.84 gr/w wich is good
my friend did an attempt with 3x3 9 plants in 6L pots (but i would recommand 9L) she pulled 29gr per plant x 9 plant wich give 0.65 gr/w wich isn't bad either
my friend also now growing 4x4 16 plants in 6L she is pulling 12 gr per plant x 16 plant wich also give around 0.65gr/w

and that was with the HPS for her she just finished her first harvest with led so will soon know soon how much she pulled this time
I get 4-5 oz per plant after my long veg times of around 2 months and I can get 4 in my 3x3. - 8 in my 5x5 or 9 under my 1000w hps in 3 gallon pots......Your method gets you more larger buds than mine but over all I think we're close to even on the outcome if you consider you get to harvest 1 - 2 months earlier so you can get more crops in but the weight will be close to the same.

that's not a true 600W it draw 65W from the wall
I believe they use that as a model number to confuse people.. they don't say 600Watts......its a 600W .....might as well be an X or an R and only in the fine print in specs can you find the actual wattage

Deceptive marketing practices. This is an automatic, do not buy from this supplier!

bonsaï mother just mean you apply bonsaï growing technique to marijuana

yeah i had a dual 60x90x80 with 40w led for bonsai mothers and clones eventually seedlings and cutings just in water as well

no never used a scrog for my veg space just some topping and rarely some LST

perfect for veg aside you want 6500k colour temperature for veg


or a mix of both 3x55w 6500k 1x55w 2100k for veg
3x55w 2100kk 1x55w 6500k for flo, but 220w neons isn't really good for flowering
so if you plan to flowering in this space using topping,SCROG and or LST i would go for a 200 w rectangular led panel


but seem out of stock a spiderfarmer sf2000 200w could do the job as well but if you order from spiderfarmer.com or viparspectra.com you gonna get some shipping cost

looking at nutrients for clones and saw this 1:

clonex is a rooting hormone to help the plant produce roots from trunk, root juice is a root stimulator that improve roots growth not exactly the same.

Get the largest carbon filter you can don't make my mistake and buy a tiny filter because they don't flow enough air to keep up with the 4"fan. With that being said I would buy a fan with a controller. No bodies talking about crop steering with vpd 😉
