Massachusetts 6 plant limit Maximization

[crisnpropa]

Ahoy there! Looking for some ideas on how to maximize indoor grow in MA. I'm allowed 6 plants in flower, and 6 in veg. I have a 2 x 2.5 ft and 4 x 4 tent, and an 8 or 9 ft round room with 11 ft ceiling. My idea is to flower 6 massive plants in the round room. I use soil in containers. Considering purchasing new lights for the round room. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

You could use the round room for mothers that you take clones off of and flower those clones in the 4x4 tent. You could use the 2x as a nursery for clones, storage etc.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Research the air layering cloning method.
Provides the ability to take substantially larger clones...

Air layer 6 branches, from the vegging plants, a few weeks before the flowering 6 get chopped....

Not familiar with MA laws, and the technical definition of a "plant" however....

Basically a seedling is a plant in Taxachusetts.

What if you (or I) did one each in a tent of their own, for a perpetual system.. So 6 tents with 1 plant in each. That would be niiice.

get a roommate .. mass laws allow 6 per adult in the household with a max of 12 ... air layering is a great idea too

You could work out some kind of perpetual system based on what I mentioned above using three mother plants. Though, you might have to sneak 3 clones passed the 6 plant limit if you always have something in flower.

yes, and then you let these plants grow vertically up the walls around a 1000w Hps, harvest 6*2kg, and then reveg them all for 12kg every 3 months. With just 6 plants

Now we're talking!

I am wondering if that's really feasible? Trying to envision it and how that would work. So you are saying six 4x4 tents each with a 1000w bulb hanging vertically? Or 6 plants in the round room with 1 hps vertical? Sounds very optimistic, 2 kilos is 4.4lbs...

I like your idea of using the round room for the mother's. Ideally we'd stay within the limit.

I think it is. Im currently planing that, with just 1 tent under 600w. Last grow Ive tested if big plants can be revegged - works. But its alot if work - lots of cleaning has to be done.
and shaping that plant.
When you count in monstercrop and even more budsites, the harvest should be good.

someone in the vertical section just started a 5 plant report, all plants are moveable and can be worked on from behind. that could come in handy once they grow larger.

his way makes it even feasable to start again every time anew... initial lightstrength deprivation could make a plant become stretchy (@Sedan used this technique in his silogrow) that would also cut down veg time...

Curious to know if you'll go soil or dwc/hydro and container size?

I decided to mix my own soil. Because of long veg, Im using long-term release stuff, and precharge it well, organic.
Im currently doing a tiny testrun, just started but so far, so good. Itll take 200-300l of soil, in fact, I will simply use the maximum space I can... the plan is to mostly give just water plus various boosters/hormones but feed NPK rather reactively

well, just ask if you wanna known anything specific. I need to do at least one phenohunt to find a plant thats strong in veg, stresstolerant and has nice flowers. preferably a fast finishing hybrid, lets see....
so theres still time to prepare and sort things out.

for example Im somewhat inconclusive on the light bc a mere HPS is somehow lacking. I wanna mixed light esp. with a UV source or at least, bright blue but theres no place for a second bulb in my room. Luminosity+heat would also be too much....

cool. i just was looking at budget led. peaked my interest cuz looks like they have some QBs with uv in the spectrum. considering building a light too.
