Just become a patient! -- Now for the farm...
Hey guys, I just found this regional part of the forum that I hadn't realized was there before. I'm thinking you guys could provide a little more experienced help for me in putting together a farm. I'll try to shift my thread from the newbies place over here.
Anyways, I'm sure you guys know there's the limit of 6 flowering plants an 12 non flowering. My basic idea to garner a high quality return is to split this up into two tents. In the first tent there will be 2 or 3 mothers, X clones, 3 early veg, and 3 later veg. In the next tent will be 3 early and 3 later flowering plants. As far as I can tell (not very far) this could be one of the more efficient ways to have this set up.
Essentially the whole set up is divided between groups of 3 with a set amount of time between each group to move up to the next spot. Roughly a 5 mo. grow cycle per plant (?)
With an obsession for quality and a preferably frequent harvest, how does this sound? Better yet, what would you guys suggest for me to do.
-- I like tents and have a budget of around $1,000 just to get an understanding of where I stand.
OH!... clones?
Only plants that are larger than 12" tall AND 12" across count toward the vegging allocation. Seedlings (plants smaller than 12"x12") are not limited.
that doesnt really change much for me. Once those did reach 1' x 1' they would still be vegging and at a 12 plant limit.
...wait were you just agreeing to what I said? I'm really lost by that post.
I was clarifying. You said you can only have 12 non-flowering plant, which is only semi-accurate. You can have more than 12 plants that aren't flowering as long as they are small.
ah yes I understand. I was referring to anything in that size bracket as clones; I suppose that isn't always entirely correct.
But anywho on to the point. I'd have to assume you take care of some sort of farm in Maine judging by the avatar and name. How did you get set up?
In what sense? I've been in the canna-biz for most of my adult life and made some friends along the way, one of whom has a seed vending business. From there it was mostly reading and participating in internet forums.
I meant to say, assuming that you're a patient that grows for personal use within your home, how did you set up your farm. I'm hunting for some sort of experienced guide on how to set up a farm with the given legal restrictions. What is the most efficient way for a maine patient to grow the best quality at a reasonable rate of harvest.
Every ones "farm" is different, depending on space, style, and money. I think to get the help you need, first what is your space, second what is your style, are you soil or hydro or some version in between, what do you have for gear, have you ever grown anything before? Just a few questions to get you going.
Depending on your experience level, which I'm guessing, is not very high, you should get some bag seeds, practice starting them, then take some clones, then sex them, then flower and harvest, do this a few times and then go looking for better genetics.
thats my 2cents.
Peace
I started running a 4x4 tent with a 600w HPS. That light lasted about one harvest and was upgraded to a 1kw HPS. Jah gives good advice, about the only thing i'd add is to use a coco coir based medium (peat moss is tricky with cannabis), which you may have to find at a hydro store instead of garden or hardware store.
I'll be working soil and I have a spare room to grow in. currently 6ft wide and about 20ft(?) long. My budget would preferably be around $1,000 obviously I'd want to spend less if it would have the same results. I want to have 1 tent for vegging and mothers with a T5 light, and another for flowering with either one 1000w light or 2 600w lights. I wanted to know how that sounds to people with 6 flowering plants in two stages then # of clones to keep the flowering cycle going. My question are coming down to how large these tents need to be, and does this set up i have sound like a successful one. With the legal limitations in maine does this sound like a good way to do things.
