Question on perpetual grow.....

[Budley Doright]

I say I grow perpetual.... but its really not....

My fake perpetual is really a batch at a time...


I have 3 gavitas in flower and move 1 batch in every 3 weeks and 2 days..... 10 weeks for the 3 lights....

I live in a medical state and this is a problem....

This sort of harvest is problematical since I can only have a certain amount of usable meds on hand....

Im preparing on moving to a full perpetual.... meaning I harvest one plant every 2 days..... and move a veg plant in.....

This would in fact be a true perpetual...... One plant begins flower....another enters flowering....

I dont think the plant size difference will matter in my sort of vertical set up....


Anyone do an actual perpectual.....not my soon to be former batch at a time perpetual????

I veg my plants to flower when maturing plants are ready to chop.

In other words, a plant gets flipped for every plant that gets chopped.

Micro under 165W PL L. 20grams dried every cycle, every few weeks.

I guess that confirms at least somewhat.....

I dont recall a grow where that grow was perpetual ..... for the purpose of complying with legal possession limits for caregivers.....

I do in fact plan to do a perpetual for that reason....

In my case I plan 11 plants per light..... for a total of 33 total plants in flower.... one plant in.....and one plant harvested every other day..... for a total of 66 days....

most likely I will skip a day here and there for a total of more like 70 days.....

I've been perpetual for over twenty years.
At first for efficiency and constant variety, later for legal reasons associated with caregiving.
It has always served my needs well, it is nice to always be only a week or two away from something.
Five to twenty gallon soil pots, puzzled together to fill canopy, moving and bending as needed.

In my state the possession limit.... is less than a pound for a caregiver....

6 x 2.5 oz..... or 15 oz.... a michigan pound .... as its called....

Harvesting 3 plants a week keeps me in pretty good shape...

Harvesting 9 plants one week ..... then not harvesting for 2 more..... gets me into potential trouble.....

33 plants in flower, how many in veg to keep your rotation
I wonder and what is the time in weeks between the
newest to oldest to flip.

What I have is 4-6 in flower each about 2-4 weeks
staggered finish time. Not counting long flowering
cultivars.

So I keep 2 in veg ready to flip, and 2 more that
are 2 weeks behind that. I usually veg/train a plant for
6 weeks before I flip.

Personal grow, so I have a wide margin of gaps sometimes.

I guess you keep good records to insure a steady
rotation to avoid the gaps, and have a solid method
for rooting cuttings.
