Perpetual crop help

Definitely wish I paid more attention in science class back in the day that’s for sure. Lol. What would you suggest for a first run crop size just while waiting on the mother’s to grow.

If you have multiple of .multiple strains then I’d do something like I’m doing scrog some while your preparing so when you get your clones established you will have a sizable table or 20 to flower while the next 8 to 10 weeks is fill in and preparing for harvest I’m doing half the space is scrog for innitatial and other quarter is sog and the last will be a quadrant and a half for clones to start filling in once screens out the way I should have whole room ready to go in or atleast half way full and half way through flower on first 8th to go in should be around week 5 or 6 in flower

I was limited on what to do with amount of seeds of each strain

Okay perfect. Think I’ve got more of grasp on it.
Strains/clones/seeds aren’t going to be a problem so half of the battle is already done, but with that said would you suggest any strains that dont Bush out to much? Or just standard indica? just knowing how to get it started which you explained perfectly is the other half of the battle, plant care wont be a problem, diligent and meticulous as Hell, so no concern there.

Indices have a tendency to stay squat and Bush sativas grow tall and lanky fast so I would say a high yielding hybrid with an 8 to 9 week flower there are tons to choose from

Growing media?

What ever u feel your most familiar with… if your a soil guy or soiless… do majority of what you know and are good at and slowly learn other mediums on a small scale I would say hydro has the most dial in ability… but it’s not something to do huge if you don’t know much about it …the plus to hydro which I would like to make the transition eventually to cut out the cost and hassle of dirt cost and weight… hydro is just water plus nutes and some oxygenation to the water and keeping resivior temps in check I’ve seen @Grandaddy013 grow monster plants but at the end got root rot due to res temps to high and whole branches started dieing it was wild

I like to run a 18 plant perpetual grow…
Every 3 to 4 weeks … 6 plant’s go into flower and 6 come out and I rotate 3 tables with 6 plants in each table…
in 3 1/2 foot by 6 foot double scrogg tables under 600 watt hps , with 4500 Kelvin bulbs …
In rdwc hydro…
Mastering clones is your best bet for a perpetual garden…
I see alot of work in your future… :wink:

That’s my biggest fear with hydro, at least you know soil isn’t going to get to hot an lose a whole crop. Stick to soil for now, using FFOF an happy frog, been happy with the results but always looking for suggestions on something new to test. @peachfuzz oh yes, lots of work ahead but is it really work when it’s growing weed? Lol.

Ultimately I’d love to quite my job and work cultivating cannabis full time. But, until my state legalizes that, I’ll just be trying to find the time to continue my “hobby”,

I think that if that’s all I did for a living then I wouldn’t enjoy it so much…
It’s my way of getting away from everything else and just admiring something that I truly enjoy and I dont mind not sharing that experience , other then here…
I guess it’s just my own little peice of earth that I can keep to myself and it’s the coolest thing ever…
But it’s still alot of work… lol :wink:

My sentiments exactly! If i could id turn in my two weeks notice, clear out some bedrooms. And get started on my @Lostscuba impersonation :joy::joy:. Itd take away the ‘playtime’ aspect of it. But i think i could find fulfillment n happiness in an insane plant count and the 4-5 hour feedings it requires

I did quit my job (retired lol) and am cultivating cannabis fulltime. The only problem is that I don’t get paid LOL except for piles of excellent buds.
