Hi, im building my new tent, its a dr240w which its 240x120x200cm.
Ive got another Dr120twin.
The basic idea its to pull something like 2,5lbs +/- per 2months between both tents.
The dr240 will have:
x2 Raptor 6''
x2 600W HPS
x2 400W HM
x1 RVK 6'' 1080m3/h
x1 Carbon filter
Coco + drip irrigigation system

While the dr120twin has this:
TOP PART: (Bonsai Mothers and clones)
x2 100Watt T5 (which alternates between 30min)
BOTTOM PART: (used for flowering now, but can be a vegging area ofc)
x1 Raptor 6''
x1 400W HPS
x1 RVk 600m3/h
Coco or x5 20L DWC pots.

Need some ideas to reach that 2,5lbs per 2months :yay:
Will you sog, scrog? Use both tents for flowering? What pots would u use? Whatever it can help i would love to hear it :D

I used to grow two pounds per month in a five plant perpetual. Now I grow almost a pound a month with a three plant perpetual.

It takes a clone/early veg table and a veg room. Five plants gave a harvest every two weeks, three plants give a harvest every three weeks, two plants swap in every five weeks.
The large tent will always have a large, medium, and small plant growing, this allows the harvested plant to be larger.

The main difference is the amount of light per plant. Using 1200 watts per plant gave 14 ounces per plant.
Now I am using 900 watts per plant and getting 10 ounces per plant.

I have run up to 4 ks HID and 3 kw LED, both with T5 sidelighting. Yields were similar although differing methods are needed to grow efficiently. LEDs had a tough learning curve, but once learned they are fantastic. But so are my discharge bulbs.

A rule of thumb I learned is a thousand watts gets about three quarter pounds of bud once the room is dialed in.

First harvest with a new strain is always less. Details depend on many things, but that is the gist of how I have been staying high since 1999.
