PERPETUAL GROW TIME LINE. PS, wee bit high

Okay, cpl months from now I'll be starting a perpetual grow flood and drain if it matters. My question is does the time schedule look right? More than alil high and can't for the life of me figure it out, may as well be Advanced Algorithms (code breaking) to me. Thanks



MOTHER---}CLONER 2 WEEKS---}FLWR WEEK 1-4---}FLWR WEEK 5-8/CUT 21 CLONES-

--}CUT 21 CLONES/DRY BOX 3 DAYS---}CURE 14 DAYS---}HASH/SMOKE

Okay, so im back. I really am having a trouble understanding if my schedule will work. The objective is to harvest either once every four weeks or every two weeks. Also as to how many mothers I need to maintain. I have space enough to maintain up too four mums

Thinking of just going with a single 2x4 tray instead of two 2x2 trays and skipping the flush. I've always flushed cept this last grow only flushed for three days, dried three and two days of cure and theyre perfect. Flavor will come with a longer cure but I realize for at least the way I grow flushing isn't necessary. So, one 2x4 tray under a 600 watt. Harvest once to twice monthly. Just need to understand how many mothers to yield X amount of clones which will get zero veg time, root to flower in 8 weeks.

Hmm so you'll have two rooms, one mother and one flower. The mothers get cut and cloned and they go into the bloom room. You either start new mothers or just let the old ones go as long as they can.. with four mothers it may be possible to clone every 4 weeks making it harvest every 4 weeks.

If you started new mothers every time you'd have to run 8 weeks.

what if I had space for 32 pots. how many could I harvest every week or every two weeks. That might point me in the right direction. Cuz now Im wondering if I had 32 how often could I harvest?

do the math 32 pots divided by 8 weeks thats 4 plants each week or 8 plants every 2 weeks

i would have 6 to 8 moms once u hack up one set of moms it will need time to regrow so then for the next 2 week set u chopped up the other set and by then the first set will have somthing for you to cut for clones agian... or your gonna run out branchs to clone...

IMO I would start four moms now and when it comes time to clone I would take as many clones as I could and start them in veg in your bloom room. Then after a month make your second pass on all the plants, give the vegging plants a week or so to heal then start them flowering. This should give you a jump in your initial clone production and keep you from sprouting more seeds than needed. I would then try to get the moms to bush out through LST so that you will have more sites to clone. I have found that if you have a large mom you can take either a lot of clones off of her or you can take much larger clones which to me start faster and give my grow a jump start over using small clones. Good luck and happy growing.

Thanks, I figured out the twice a month or once a month that was easy. But having never run a perpetual grow had no idea how many mothers I would need to support the op. Sweet now I just have to find enough moms with the phenotypes I like and I'm in business

check the stinkbud thread harvest every 3 weeks.

Or al b fucts thread got a good timeline

remember to stick with the same strain,not all strains finish at the same time but if you have clones from the same strain you will know how long it will take for them to be ready and that will help you set you schedule better,keeping everything in time isnt easy in the begining until you work with one strain for a while and get to know it. good luck

Yeah its going to be ''Blue Widow'' from Dinafem. Now I just gotta figure out what medium to use. I'm thinking straight hydroton but then I wonder how often I'd have to flood the table. So now I'm wondering if I could do a perpetual grow sea of green with Deep Water Culture instead of flood and drain. Any thoughts?
