Hey RIU. Here is my perpetual setup, well sort of perpetual, it will be harvested once a month. The setup is two 4x4 flood and drain setups staggered a month apart. No veg time, the clones go straight into flower and I get more than enough height during the flowering stretch because I lollipop them. I will be harvesting the first grow out of this setup in about 6 days.

That's a nice setup man! That's kinda how I picture my plants looking. How tall are the clones when you take them, how old are the clones before you put them in flower, how tall are they when you harvest and what's the strain or strains and are they more Indica or Sativa dominant?

Thanks man. The clones are just tiny little clones that were cuttings two weeks prior, meaning they just rooted. They go straight into one gallon root pouches and into flower. They get 3 feet tall after the stretch. The strain in Pineapple Express, Indica dominant I believe.

I've wanted to grow that for a while, buy I've got so many other seeds at the moment. Mine is also Indica dominant. I'm battling some defencencies at the moment. That's 17 clones altogether. Seeing yours is making me want to start em flowering.

It's a pretty good strain so far, fairly easy to grow with decent yields. People seem to like it so I had to ramp up my operation a bit. That's the reason this is the first grow in this setup. I hope to pull about 2 pounds a month in this, possibly more if I get it all dialed in.

As soon as your clones have nice roots throw them bitches into flower and see what happens. If your environment is good and the clones are ready to rock you will be surprised how big they get with no veg. I definitely was caught a little off guard so when I redid the room recently I lowered the tables to allow for more height.

That's a nice clean setup man! How tall are the clones when you take them, and how old are the clones when you start flowing

You're right I could try it and see what happens. I'm hoping to get at least a dry oz from each plant, sounds reasonable to me. How many watts do you run over each table and how many plants do you have per tray?

If I could get an ounce per plant I would be thrilled. They are 1000 Watters and 49 plants in a 7 x 7 configuration.

Got a question for you experienced cloners. . With my hm bubble cloner I used to get nice fish bone delicate roots on my clones .. Last few batches they've been thick and gnarly like rope..clumpy.. Can any one tell me what's going on here?

I have two 25½x15½ inch areas for them to flower in. Each one holds 18 plants and will have a 600 watt light over each one.

Sounds good, have you done this setup before? How much do you usually get when harvesting?

And I am not sure if my previous post was clear, I have 49 plants under each 1000 watt light so that's 98 plants total. Just under that Federal limit of 99.

This is my first perpetual. I understood what you were saying, and that's a lot of plants! I'll fine tune my setup as I go. Seeing you setup and the info you gave me I decided to start flowering.

Nice, good luck. What's the plan, lollipop them all and do a SOG?

I checked on my plants last night and they have really started to fatten up and shoot out new growth. I hope this keeps up for the next week because these are going to be some fat colas and that was my original goal. The dispensaries prefer that type of nug to the smaller ones.

Lollipopping for sure! And I guess you could call it a SOG or something close to it. They'll have a little more space than what I would imagine a true SOG would. I'm just hoping for good results. I think I'm going to take some more clones and try to get a harvest every month, I'm thinking it'll be easier that way.

When u guys have that many plants in one tote
Wont it become a problem when all the roots get all clumped together?
How do u only harvest so many at a time?
Do u just leave the roots?
I use individual kitty litter totes one per plant just to avoid the root problem so if any of you have that part figured out please let me know too
Id love to run multiple plants per tote like i do for clones but even their roots start wrestling

This is my first time running something like this so I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

In my veg I have 4 medium sized bushes. Fimed over and over. . Yes they're roots do grow together. . Either regular weekly separation is required or as I do leave them go and gently pull apart when time has come to move to flower .. They're is a little teqnique required required to pulling apart and yes I have lost one before from ripping too much...
