I now have a flower box and a bloom box and would like to be able to harvest every 4-6 weeks. Do you just start veg on new seeds when you are in flower on other plants? I don't have space to keep clones and mother plants. Can anyone explain this to me, or direct me where to go
best way to have perpetual harvests??

I've been spamming this idea a lot. Try just starting everything on 12/12 from seed. Timing apart each seed planted. Like plant one every two weeks. They should stay small from not getting a veg period. They might require an bit more of a mixed spectrum But thats my deal.

It is simple but you have to figure out how many flowering plants at once you will need. Say you have an 8 week strain, you put in a new plant every 2 weeks. I guess that is 5 plants in flower at once, now say you have room for 15 plants. Ok now you know you need to start 3 plants every two weeks. First you gotta know how the plants will do in your op though, so you can get an idea of the flowering times.

I agree with Stumps, every 30 days. I started with 2 plants (different flowering periods though) and this weekend will be 4 weeks flowering so I'm putting in 2 more that have different flowering periods. Going forward I will be doing 1 every 4 weeks so I will harvest 1 every 4 weeks.
The first one will finish and the next should be 1-2 weeks behind. 4 weeks later I'll have the same scenario, in theory, and then 1 plant every 4 weeks after that. I'm upgrading my flower room lighting this weekend (going HPS) to accomodate using the entire grow space for more plants. Taking some cuttings this weekend from a supposed 7-8 week (flowering) strain with the hopes of 2 successful clones, 1 for the next plant and the other for a mother to get my future plants from.

How many plants will the veg and flower boxes hold? How much space outside the box do you have to work with?

If its bcnl bloom box then u cant add and move pants because of roots Tangling in the rez. 3-4 weeks before harvest cut clones. And veg them in rockwhools under a cfl light. By the time u havrvest ull have new 4-8inch clones ready to be flowered the same day.
It is a soil operation, and my grow area will hold 6 plants in each box. The veg box is smaller and has a 250cfl. The bloom box is 3*3*4 and has 400hps. If I do like 2 a week wont i end up with a pretty uneven canopy in flower room??
So I would start with 2. Veg for 4 weeks, move them to flower and start 2 more in veg, in 2 weeks add 2 more to veg. Now transfer them every 2 weeks from now on. So I will always have 4 in veg. And 6 in flower. Is that right, I'm too stoned to use this much brain power.

That might work out for you but you'd end up with 8 in flowering by the time you're done.
You've got idea now though so just keep it simple and get 2 plants starting every 4 weeks. veg all plants for 4 weeks and you'll harvest 2 plants every 4 weeks (as long as all of your strains have 8 week flowering periods).

I agree, 2 plants starting every two weeks. I would still consider a small clone set up, no need to maintain a mother. Just take you a few cuttings from the bottom of the two that are going into the flower box.

...to keep an even canopy, put something under your pots to raise the new flowering plants higher.

That's a good idea dude. Using Autos and going 1 every 2 weeks. Pretty sick.

This is what I'm going to try this weekend as long as my brother can make it to help my crippled ass. I'll be happy when I'm all healed up for sure. I need to start flowering the youngins so I'll cut some from them and move them into the flower room this weekend. I decided I want to reveg my White Widow after harvest and use her for a mother so I'll take some clones from the Green Cush for my next plants to veg.

I have a 4x4 flower rm and a clone bucket for 4 clones and a 2x3 veg room. I just keep everything going full bore and everytime I harvest a plant from flower I replace it with one from veg. Sometimes It gets crowded in flower but never too badly. I do on occassion slow down cloneing if I have too many in veg. Been doing this with same clones for a while now. Works very well - keeps me medicated. Just my 2 cents.
BTW ebb and flow, 600wt HPS and 6 42 cfl for veg. homemade aero bucket for clone.
