I just recently started building my flowering box for the clones I'll be taking. I've never dealt with clones, and I'm hoping all will go well. I'm also hoping my lone vegging plant turns out to be a female so I can make her a mother. I would have planted more, but space was limited.

Here is the flowering box. It's a PC with one side panel taken off to let in the 42watt 2700k CFL that is connected directly to a powerstrip screwed and taped to the wall of my closet.

Here is the plant I'm hoping is a female.

Nice side branches.

Recently topped her because I was too lazy to readjust the light. LOL

I really like the idea of having a mother and then sending the clones directly into flowering. If you put a new clone into flowering every week, once your first harvest is done, you'll have a steady supply to last a while. I got the inspiration from DrBudGreengenes.

Anyway, back to the box. Once I actually start taking clones, I'm going to add another 42w 2700k CFL along with a 6500k CFL. I think all 3 will fit on the powerstrip. There will be a fan in the 5.25 bay blowing air directly onto the bulbs and out the case. The clones will be put in either 1liter bottles or 16oz bottles (like DrBGG). I have enough room for at least 8, maybe more.

Here is a pic of it lit up.

Not bad considering I didn't spend a penny on anything other than CFLs.
