How to get a perpetual harvest? +rep

Hey guys/gals, i have 3 spots and more lights than i need. I really want to set up things so i can harvest every few weeks, but im not sure how to go about it. Anyone know a good formula to get em going?

Am i supposed to just stagger em? One spot for babies, another for veg and another for flower?
Any ideas appreciated very much so. Thanks all.

Being a grower who gets 3.64 grams per watt and 16.25 ounces with less than 2000 watts why would you need to harvest any faster? You go through 16 pounds in between grows? WOW dude.

i have a mother tent, a veg tent, and a flower tent with 2 1000watt lights... currently have mothers vegging and rooting but this is the plan:

1st tent- 5 mothers, 5 strains., clone shelf for 15 clones.
2nd tent- veg tent, 10-15 rooted clones to veg for 1 month.
3rd tent, 2 cycles- under 1 light would be 10 one month vegged clones, just started flowering, under the other, 10 plants that have been flowering for 1 month and have 1 month left.

so every month i'll be harvesting 10 plants, and taking about 15 clones to root.... make sense?

Wow man I really admire you for your tenacity. I hope it goes well for ya. Sounds like you have a pretty solid plan.

divide your flowering room up into 4 sections:

0-2 Weeks
2-4 Weeks
4-6 Weeks
6-8 Weeks

Harvest every 2 weeks....

nice , reaver . i had contemplated cuttings every 2 weeks. alot of work though.... basically constantly harvesting and curing...... maybe i'll give it a whirl after a few months....

I do it as we speak… Just do ebb and flow trey, build small ones. Separate the room in two. One room is your veg room and the other is your flower room. Next you take a table and you get your plants going. Wait 4 weeks and start another trey. Wait another four weeks and then start another. It works out to this; You get to crop every 4 weeks. I do a pound a month. Mind you this isn’t easy and it took a lot of work to get it to work right. I am still struggling and I have been doing it for a year. None the less good luck! If you have any questions hit me up and I can give you more information. If you do it with four tables you can do it quicker. However you need the room to make it work. Let me know how it grows!

I am getting a new place soon and plan on having a perpetual grow.

Im have 4 plants in ebb and flow buckets 10 gal under 2 600 watt MH conversion bulbs Solarmaxes 7200k.

I'll have one mother in soil under a bunch of flourescents.

After 2 months of veg I swap the 4 plants into my flowering area which is same as the veg area except 4 600 watt HPS 2700k.

Once I get into full production with that I'll be harvesting 4 4 month old cannabis trees every 2 months. After I have more money I plan to double everything except the mother plant...only need one of those.

You understand how it is done?

A perpetual grow is efficient because it cuts out the down time of veggin because your flowering and have plants veggin at the same time. Ya dig?

nice. thanks guys. ive done a multi plant multi strain grow. and it worked out good in the end. but i ended up giving away a lot of the grass i grew. i hooked friends and family up. but then i figured why didnt i stagger em or clone. im wicked A.D.D. so when it comes to formulas and sticking to it its really hard for me. so i figure if i have a plan to follow that ill be ok. when i had 60 so plants i did stagger em so i was harvesting a bunch every 2 weeks but i did not keep it going as i couldnt figure out cloning at the time. so i just let em all grow to the end. i did very well. i dont sell pot i do this to hook up my fam and friends. and i own a pharmacy so i dont have the 4 hours a day to work on em like i did that grow. now that i actually have to buy a bag of weed for the first time in about a year and a half. id like to keep it going a little better. thanks guys........except for you tom. your a fucking dick head, and your pathetic to think there is no way in gods plan anyone could get 3 to 4 oz off a plant. go bring your penis envy somewhere else.
again thanks to the ones who have something to add.

just wonderin guys whats the most youve ever pulled off a plant.....? just wondering. because when i mentioned i pulled 4 off mine. not all of em but a lot of em. someone started trying to go around saying im a liar and full of shit. then i noticed this same dude was telling people he was pulling 3 at least off his. maybe he forgot , but when i looked at his plants. this last grow of his. he wasnt anywhere near 3 oz. he said he pulled over 3 with a 400 hps, but id never pull 4 plus under a 400hps a 600 hps 3 100 hps lamps and 6 to 8 t8 4 tube 4 foot floros, with co2, and oxygen.
what do you think?

Don't post here about me catching you in a lie, post here in the thread I made: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/281126-tom__420-vs-jordisgarden.html#post3497536
That should let rollitup decide once and for all, no?

You ask about Perpetual Harvest? I have found the absolutley best illustration on Perpetual Harvests on another Forum, and I believe it is against rules to post threads to others. So go to ICMag and search for HappyHemphog, then go to "Hempy's Perpetual Harvest in 90 Days" for the best power point presentation out there. Of course you can change the methods of hydro/soil.... but the process is layed out for anyone to follow.

Good Luck!

Edited out the first paragraph after a little research. Not my bussiness to comment on You and Tom420, except there is alot to be learned about growing from everyone here. eh hem....... "GROWING"

what i do iscut clones from the girls as soon as i can. took as many as you can . then from this point you can stager them in . the first one will most likly be a little soon hitting the flowerroom but from that point on you can growyour vegers to the hight you like be4 making the 12/12 switch. i like to have 6plant in the veg room ready to flower when the 6plantsin the flower room are done.

Just a caution.

Do yourself a favor and keep all your grows physically separate. What I mean is, a perpetual grow can be ruined by an infestation of Spider Mites, White Flies, or any other critter, BECAUSE, you can't kill them off without destroying all the plants in a particular area.

A friend has a fairly large perpetual grow. The grow contracted Spider Mites 6 years ago, and, because he won't do a thorough cleaning,he has been dealing with killing/controlling their numbers, perpetually. A real pain in the butt.

The point is, you MUST do a thorough cleaning to get rid of these things.

Think ahead.

You can split your grow into as many "waves" as you have lights. I personally think that two grows, a month apart is adequate, because by the time, you harvest, trim and cure, you've burned at least two weeks, and more likely three.

PM me if you wish to go into more detail.

I ususally get an ounce to 2 ounces a plant

What are kind of light or you using to pull off 4 oz. off each plant??? are you using co2? how big are your plants? if i wanted to pull that weight off how many plants should i fit in my 4x8 tent? how large should i let em get?
What can i expect from a 4x8 grow tent with 2 1k watt hortilux? of coarse depends on other factors besides lighting...
