wanted to see if I could get some help with those who have run a perpetual method. first timer here and having a hard time figuring out the scheduling.
here's what we're going to have, each chamber will have it's own scrog. will be growing C99 which claims to be a 50-60 day strain.
(1) Veg Chamber = 2 plants (400w mh)
(1) Flower Chamber = 2 plants (600w hps)
(1) Flower Chamber = 2 plants. (600w hps)
Our goal is to be able to harvest one flower chamber per month, while staying under a 9 plant limit (including clones and mother). would I just make my cuts every 30 days (assuming 7-10 days for rooting) and let them veg for a month?
time isn't really of essence here, so letting them veg for longer really isn't an issue to give it time to fill out. also, i'm assuming it will take a few months for the cycle to be in full swing?
any info would be appreciated!
add in a 4 bulb 2 ft t5 and ur golden.
t5 for rooting clones and seedlings up to 8"...
veg chamber for next 2 plants cycling...
2 flower chamber 2 plants each...
january 1st(using this date for ease of understanding)you root up your first set of 3 clones(i say 3 b/c of the 2 per flower tent and 2 per veg tent that you stated...leaving 3 left of 9) and just in case 1 dies or shit happens, i would cut the xtra every time.)......depending on strain, they will move to the veg tent within 2 to 3 weeks...xplant to bigger flower container...2-3 weeks later they are goin into flower.
so at the latest by feb 15th your first set of 2 plants are starting 12/12.
and january 21st, at the latest, your t5 is freed up for the next 3 clones to start. this round will hit veg by feb 11th...12/12 by march 4....so see how you can actuallt get more than 2 harvests per 2 months if you stagger them right and dont make the plants wait for you. keep em happy and healthy.
but as you said, until you work out the strains you will be running and really understand how they train, clone, nutrient needs and stretch,etc...it is very hard to determine a schedule or guesstimation of any sort...godspeed
