nice one mate looking forward to the show

tht chiesel cut stretches like a mofo more than the others iirc cheesey's went from 10" to 37"-38" did 5 in a 1.2m tent and they filled it

ive just got this cut back too after the mates who have smoked it cant get enough of it,they love it so i will be growing it again

peace

Awesome! Love to see more donuts...
I have messed around with different plant counts per donut, and as usual HGO gave you good advice.
I have experimented with 6, 8, and 10 plants per donut. As with most things it is strain specific. My USD trained against screens does well after 2 weeks of veg with 8 plants for example. Less than that and I may have holes in my canopy after I remove suckers, but more than that and I would have too much in the corners and PM, rot, etc...
If you have enough room to eventually do 2 donuts, you could split them off as needed, and focus on getting the first one dialed with plant numbers as needed.
The one issue I have with doing perpetual in the same room is the dramatically different RH needed at stretch vs flower. If you have the ability to control your environment to that degree, then I would either do the whole tent at a time, or set up another tent if you want to go perpetual.
As an anecdote I have my current run as an example. I placed 8 plants in first that are an 11+ week cycle, then within a week I placed 15 more plants that are 9-10 strains. I was focused on the first 8 plants since they were vegged to the appropriate size, and the others were just fillers. I kept the RH a little too high for the fast finishers after they finished stretch, but there was still 2 weeks of stretch left on the USD. The buds on the latecomers just didn't go into the swelling phase like the USD did with optimal RH during stretch and flower.
Hopefully I am making sense... Spend all weekend fishing on the ocean with less than 8 hours of sleep over 3 days...

yeah i dig lol thanks for the advice, i dont know weather to train these or not through a screen, i have a 2.4 x 2.4m room i could prob do 2 donuts with 1 x 600 each, when i areanged it like this it never looked right...

so went for the 1 big circle and il train them and stack 2 x 600s FTW

i need 5-6 a plant average for this to be a keeper, that should see me through to the next crop i usualy ony grow 2-3 a year, as cocos new and donuts as well uncharted territory then i no this wont be a dialed grow, but il give it my best with the help of the people in this section should be no prob...

thanks again

if the guys in the know think 8 FTW i could mother 3 of these as theres 3 strains that would give me 8 left and i could pull out 3 that are least 'uniform' to the rest of the circle, every ones a winner
