Largest Perpetual yield, 15 plants max

[Jahkaya]

OKay, so with the new Washington limits, what do you think is the best way to have the largest yeilds on a consistent basis, without going over 15 plants.

You have 6 foot ceiling with 2 400 watt halide and 1 250 halide and no heat issues to speak of.

I would like to have at least two strains to choose from as well.

So what strain or method would you choose with the existing light set up?

My ultimate goal is to have 4-6 ounces a month on a contiunal basis.

My initial thought would be to do four cuttings each month. Root and Veg for 30 days (250watt) , flower for 60-70(2x400watt), and restart again. Provided the cuts root and grow quick enough in that 30 days, the end result should be enough.

That way I always have less than 15, Twelve cuts at any one time, with two mothers and room for a dad if need be.

anybody else have any other ideas?

get a 1000 hps or 2 600s

I appreciate the input, but I am trying to do the most with what I have. Right Now I am lucky to replace the bulbs. I under stand the 2 400's will only support so much, but what do you think will work the best?

400s dont have a ton of penetration, you could try vegging 5 plants for 30 days, put them in bloom for 30 while vegging 5 new ones, and repeat

3-4 set's of 4 per 30 day's..... and scrog but with a 6foot roof it's going to be tricky if you running a veg room then no need for mom's it just takes up your super low #'s (your veg plant are your moms) as your toping for a more bushy plant you will get your cut's take more then 4 clones and be over untell they root pick your best and trash the rest. 3 x 4 = 12 that leaves you 3 plants to play with try new style's of growing or run 4 set's of 4 "16" by taking cut's earlyer to start vegging there not going to put you in jail by being 1 plant over...
this is how i would do it.... you can hit your 4-6 oz a month with very little veg try a sog that again would be 16 plant but no popcorn
2 mom's
2 clone's
2 veg
2 @ 15 days flower
2 @ 30
2 @ 45
2 @ 60
2 @ 75 (75% of strains need 65-75)

this way you pull 2-3 oz twice a month( 4-6 oz /m )
you can go every 10 day's as well and hit around 1.5-2.5 oz 3 times a month ( 4.5-7.5 oz /m) but it's 2 more plants (18)

you can hit your 4-6 oz a month with very little veg

This is the info that I am looking for. So do you feel that the right strain(godbud as an example) could root and grow vegetatively enough in 30 days to produce a end harvest of 1 1/2 ounces?

Thanks for the input...I like the 2 mothers. 2 clones, etc. That may work better than a longer cycle.

Also you feel that Screen of green would be best to accomodate the lack of light penetration? I was planing on lollipoping and then training the taller ones with bonsai wire to turn them into a bush (lst).

shit homie 30 day veg you should be getting 3-4 oz a plant....

i was thinking more like a 10-15 day veg at most n 1-2z

2 mom's
2 clone's 10-15 too root
2 veg 10-15 day's
2 @ 10-15 days flower
2 @ 20-30
2 @ 30-45
2 @ 40-60
2 @ 50-75

5 day veg @ 5days bloom..... i bet they hit 25-30 grams

 

[Pseudo]

how about 7 plants with a wicked 60 day lst veg?
you could easily surpass your goal

 

[Jahkaya]

I like your idea psudeo, but I don't have 600's or 1000's. I would imagine each 400 could hold 4 medium 3 gallon size plants, but any more than that...it gets tight. I could go bigger, but it makes the perpetual yeild more difficult. So if from day one of cut, to day 10-14 of root...that gives about 16 days of actual veg time. I think the 2 cuts, one from each mom, every other week, 10-11 weeks. That gives me a max of 12-plants at any stage to work with, plus two moms...seems good to me.

the question is, what's the biggest plant you can get from a cutting in 30 days? Depends on the size of the cutting.....

hmmmm anyone air layer cannabis?

Maybe something like this...then you bloom these, and waste no time with extra plants until you are ready.

 

[Bigtimer7]

Well a good ? is what are you growing in. I dont know if you put it but it makes a big diff in terms of veg time IMHO... Just from the things ive done. So what medium (sorry if i missed it)

I've been doing similar except I technically have 20 plants for about 9 or 10 days out of 35. Otherwise it's just 15. Fem seeds only, 2 weeks in germination tray plus 5 weeks in veg tent. Then into one half of the bloom tent for 10 weeks.

Badly over vegged an early batch so did a scrog as an emergency measure and got a bumber crop. They didn't even go under a screen till week 2 of 12/12. The 5 free range plants on the other side are going to get nowhere near that yield. I don't weigh but it's about 30 litres trimmed. If I can get that reliably repeatable I'll be able to drop the lighting wattage.

Best 'great grow/low numbers' one I saw was on OG. Two plants!!!

He had 2 identical scrog boxes. 4 weeks veg and 8 weeks flower meant a harvest every 6 weeks. Cuts from #A on the last day of veg became the clones for #B.
