Best most efficient way to veg mother plants?

So I really like the Bonsai mother method where each mother plant never goes in anything larger than a 6x6 square pot, and never gets more than 8 inches tall. It works, I can keep the plants healthy, and it provides good results.

My question is, what would be the best way to veg multiple bonsai moms? I don't really wanna fire up another HID unless it's necessary. Right now, I have my Blackberry Kush mother under two 23w CFLs. One 5000k, one 2,700k. Seems to be doing okay.

But what's best? T5? Build a CFL fixture? Like I said it shouldn't need to be a HUGE area of illumination...

 

Cool, I figured so but I thought I'd get some opinions anyway.

@3G_Labs I haven't taken any "real" clones yet. What I mean is, during the last topping session, I took some tiiiny cuttings and popped them into my bubble cloner just to see what happens. They're alive though, and they're still technically second generation cuttings, so I expect them to root and grow fine ultimately.

I expect nothing but total success once I take some "real" / appropriately sized cuttings.

I personally was nervous about stressing the plant into herming with the pruning, but so far she has taken everything exceptionally well and is still 100% female.

Also - You mentioned they work fine for regular mothers. How many watts would it take to make a full veg setup with T5s? Cause as of right now, this would be strictly for the mother plants. For my actual grows, I would still do 1 month veg with 600w mh and then 2 months bloom with HPS.

Kind of dreading running 600 watts for 18 hours a day on top of this... Would a T5 veg room / area be able to bring that number down and still be productive?

Energy goes for a minimum of $0.27/kWh here.

 

Damn, really? 2-3'?
And I'm planning on using the LST method anyway. Good to hear, for sure
