growing efficiently

i have a 4x4x7 sunhut grow tent w/ a 250w light and am looking for suggestions as to how to make the best use of my space and time.

i just ordered djs blueberry and serious' kali mist, and obviously would like to get them started as soon as they arrive. my initial plan was to grow one male and female of the kali to get seeds so i wouldn't have to purchase them ever again, and on my second go around attempt a quick sexing so that i could chop a few clones in order to make sure i have all females for the third grow.

when i actually thought this through when i wasn't stoned, i realized that i would have to go through 3 grows before i even start something to harvest, let alone the fact that i haven't touched my blueberry yet!

there just has to be a better way to do it. no one else knows that i grow and i am not in a cannabis friendly area, so my only option is starting straight from seed.

so given that i only have the 1 room and 1 light, is there any way to speed this us so i can get some seeds and start growing a real harvest to smoke?

Make a seperate area to clone and veg in after your plants are big enough to take clones. After your clones can substain life on there own. (Make sure each plant and clone from it are labled the same). Throw the plants ya cut off into the flowering stage after 2 weeks all the males will show throw all of them and the matching clones away. Keep matching females as moms to clone from. Speeds up the process imo. Hope this helps.

if you want to clone your going to need another grow box. no way around it. just start a bunch of plants, take 2 clones from each one before you put them into flower. keep the clones in the other box. Once they start flowering keep all females in your flower box. throw away all but 1 male and all clones from males. Someone on here invented a male isolation chamber which works great and only costs a few bucks to make. Use the search to find it. I made one and it works great. Keep them male in the isolation chamber in the flower room till it drops pollen. Collect the pollen and pollinate a few select branches so you still have plenty of seedless weed come harvest. Plus you'll have all those female clones in your other box. If you cant do 2 boxes, just keep using the seeds you made for new grows instead of clones. Good luck.
