Hello guys and gals. Hope everyone is going into the weekend with good vibes, I know I am. I am currently setting up a perpetual harvest situation. I’ve posted about it previously but I really want to dig deeper and see what the community has to say. Currently in my grow room which is a spare bedroom in my apartment about 10’x6’. I currently have a 5x5 under 800 watt mars hydro led and a 2x4 with a 300 watt mars hydro led. I thought a 2x4 would be enough space to veg but now I’m thinking it won’t be. Could I get away witb srufifng 4-5 plants in 3 gallons mediums in coco and veg for 8 weeks and flower them in the 5x5. I know it’s tight in there and honestly I’m gonna try and see if I can just fit a 4x4 in the room. I need to also use one of the tents to dry so I need to figure out how i can do that. Anyways I have the flower tent set up with irrigation system. 4 events a day for 5 min. Feeds 7 plants about 5 gallons of every 2 days. Still dialing it in. Anyways please don’t be shy and share all inputs would be much appreciated as I’m trying to get this dialed in right.
I have closet space to do clones and propagation. As well
decisions decisions what to do??? I grow 2 plants in the 4x4 and 1 plant in the 3x3 tents…from seed sprouting all the way thru harvest/drying in that same tent… my grow cycle is 4 months with photo’s, just never saw a need, in the way I grow, to use different tents for different things…so there you have another way you could go
Yeah that’s what I did last time but I really just want to see if I can get a harvest every 2 months.
Do you have a picture of what 2 plants look like in a 4x4 in flower? I want to see for reference.
What size pots are you using and how long do you veg for ?
Here are 2 girls in my 4x4 last year in veg and flower, still has a few weeks to go. But, I also fit 4 in another 4x4. All photo period. These silly girls hate to be followers. All unique and quirky. If you train right, they can fit
Put one mother plant in the small tent then puke out clones to populate the flowering tent. That’s the fastest turn around you can get.
That’s the creative input I’ve been looking for. Everyone’s is appreciated but I was thinking of something like that as I want to keep mothers so I’m not wasting the small space I have on popping seeds not knowing what I’m gonna grow .
Ideally I hope I have room for a 4x4 in there it will be tight but this way I can keep 2 mothers at a time clone in the 4x4 and switch to the 5x5 maybe half way through their veg or maybe I could do a full veg for 4 plants and flower in the 5x5
Remember that clones are already sexually mature so once rooted you can go straight to flower.
Can I use feminized seeds for my mothers ?
I just popped some regular seeds that I got free from ethos when I ordered feminized seeds from them. I pooped 3 and hope one is a female.
Just in case though I popped a couple gold leaf, Tropicana cookies and end game
But the m/f seeds are mandarin cookie
I was thinking of doing a perpetual grow as well with 2 tents (veg and flower) and a cloning tray. I wasn’t panning on keeping a mother plant, but taking cuttings off of the veg plants just before you flip them and clone those out. Came up with a schedule…
Each colour is a grow cycle, and gives you a week window to dry your plants in the veg tent. Sizes and number of plants can vary depending on how much space you have or what your legal limit is (if that’s a concern or not!)
You sure your gonna have the space in a clone done to keep plants in there for 3/4 weeks ?
I can’t even keep seeds I popped in the dome for over 2 weeks before they outgrow it and this is in coco starters not even in solo cups
