Are you going to do perpetual harvest with plants at different stages in the flower chamber?
Yes. It's what I've been doing in my current cab. It makes lots of things easier. For one, there could be 82 plants in the chamber as designed so far.... harvesting 82 plants at once would be a pain in the ass. but 9.5weeks / 82 = 8.6 plants a week.
Much easier to harvest and dry 8 or 9 plants every week than to harvest and dry 82 plants at a time.
One of the benefits of doing it is the taller mature plants get access to more light by being above the canopy.
Indeed.
I have a couple of plants that have grown to the top of the cab. They just bend over and keep going. It is nice that I dont have to worry the main cola will grow into the light and get fried.
This happened to me on my very first run through the cab. After that, I learned to switch from veg sooner. I found the "sweet spot" (as dr bud refers to it) which is the precise height the plants will need to be started so that they will finish up without touching the top.
I had a weird idea of doing an upside down scrog kinda like those tomato planters along the top of my cab
If you do that, I SOOOO want to see it!
