I am on a perpetual grow system but I wanted to simplify the process by having my veg period equal my flower period. I wanted to make this the case so its not so intense on keeping track of steps, problems, deadlines. Now I harvest every 60-70 days, mainlining extends my veg period to about 60-70 days and limits training and grooming but also gives better utilization of space. This method I have equal input and output on both stages.
Space management and energy management becomes paramount with this method, versus a heavily dependent time management routine.
I built a seedling tent at 2.5 sq feet uses 32 watts for 15 days, then move to a veg space at 8.6 sq ft using 135 watts for 45 days and finally a flower tent at 30 sq ft using 900 watts for 60-70 days. This sizing difference in rooms is about a factor of three from room to room, keeps energy consumption low at every stage so no unwasted space under the lights by sticking small plants under large light footprints.
I have clones going for the seedling tent used to produce seed when not used for seedlings.
