full time flower room (i cant spell continuas)

[bigwity]

i have my flower room full all the time i have 6 plants flowering at all different stages with all diggerent strains

i also have a veg room that hold clones and plants ready to go into my flower room as the others finish.

its taking me a while to dial it in im aiming for cropping one plant around every 2 weeks. unfortunatly the key is to know your flowering times on you plants and getting it right. but all you need to do is enter a new strain into the equasion and it gets tricky

what i really want to know is how many people do this and do you have any tips to help me that you have found usefull.

peace bigwity

Hey bigwity,

Blimey runs a similar setup, with plants at all stages of the flower cycle together in the tent. May be worth tapping him up.
Peace.

Continuous

No personal experience, too many pests in my area, but if u can spell it u can search it!

 

[stylah]

perpetual can be done every 2-3-4 wks

I find every 4 wks worked for me...2 wks for cuts to root then 1 week in veg (maybe 2 wks) under 125/250w and then into the room i know peeps who do every 2 weeks but uses large numbers without veg, straigh into system in flower room... its a good system just get a calendar and make sure u know whats what..i.e feed and what wk in 12/12 cycle ..u should be sweet

all the best

all the best

That it how I run mine. I started with 2 week cycles and it works but then you have those girls that just want that extra week to finish and it throws things out of whack.
Now I go 4 weeks.
I run 5 sets of 3 generally, w/ 2 sets in flower. 3 plants finish out and 3 more go in.
3 plants easily last me until the next cycle finishes and I always have more than I can use which makes nice gifts for friends.

stress test thats the shit im taking about its the way forward if your growin for ercy rather than profit

 

[CarlBruv]

[bigwity]

Yeah I get paranoid sometimes just growing, I couldn't handle the stress and worry of selling it.
I know a few people that are med patients but can't grow their own and are also afraid of being busted trying to buy it, so I usually end up gifting about 2 thirds of what I grow.

For me the it took awhile to find strains that let me figure out a cycle that works. Some strains just seem to go on and on forever and throw everything else out of whack.
Now when I see a slacker in the room I give it a few days to catch up and cull it if it doesn't. Slide another girl in it's place.
But after you get dialed in then it gets easier to spot the weaker, slower starts.

Yup, I grow the same way as it's really the only way for me to stay self-sufficient in my tiny space.

I just have a little cfl set up in my wardrobe and try my best to maintain a 1 in/1 out every 2 weeks, just vegging small plants with a combination of windowledge and a 20w cfl in a desklamp, then flower in the drobe under my 250w enviro... usually yielding 1/4 to 1/2 oz a pop. Saves sooo much money!!

Have been running the same mum for a while now and have a nice system going, am about to ruin it all by introducing new strains, including the Thai seeds I'm currently trying to crack, which is just asking for it!

Gotta be done though!!

i pull 3 oz give or take every 2 weeks but now ive started the first two weeks of flower in my veg room most of my plants spend 6 weeks in my flower room so im pulling a bit more regular now. my figures are rough though some times i put two plants in at once as if its a strain ive run i beef her up so when she comes out i put two new strains in her place just to see how they grow 9 times out of 10 they get two big

 

[RudeDog]

Growing the same way as well mate....Got room for six plants flowering, I just put plants into flower as and when. Been doing different strains for a while so hard to get things regular. You can always boost supplies with a few outdoor plants, experiment with different strains indoors.

 

[bigwity]

i have too many plants as it is bro about 10 strains atm rangeing from 7 to 12 weekers

its easier than i make out i just look at my harvest days of the plants in my flower room and add whatever plant i need to with the right flower period

 

[speedemon]

I do this perpetual cycle but to make it easier I set up a cloning/seedling tent, a vegging room and a flowering room then used a calender to get dates from clone and seed, then worked out vegging time and flowering times. It all worked perfectly until I chucked in 80% Sativa strains with 10-11 week flowering times then the shit hit the fan and now without going into numbers I have all sorts at different stages so just fly by the seat of my pants.

 

[r1rider]

I cant be arsed with all the juggling for perpetual grows, i`m happier just filling the room then emptying at the end and start over again.

[SmokeMe]

Iv had to have a few month's break but im back and going to be running perpetual again,vegin at the moment tho

 

[bigwity]

its perfect for my needs i dont want cash just a steady supply of diff strains for me n the mrs to smoke thats all, plus if i fuck up i tend to only fuck one plant. also it good practice for learning how to grow different strains as all require individual attention.
