i think buzz does something like that.

booty, I'll second that.
Perpetual growing to me, is not the # of plants, but the time table that allows you to harvest as often and as much you want.

I think the Old fellas needs its a plant at a time.

thenameis7, thanks a lot buddy, glad it was of help.
The Virtual Grow Room you see in this hypothetical scenario would cost around $356.45 a month to run

and can produce around 140 gms a week.

Well done I say!

I've been trying this method for a while, (on a much smaller scale!)
and I have a hell of a time keeping track of everything. It does work great when you can stay on top of it though....As you obviously can!

booty, I missed that one, sorry.

The 9 weeks I mention (63 days) it's because my plants usually take a week to commence flowering.
I always chop on 63th day regardless trich development, but most of the time they're about 15% amber at harvest day.

I like your monthly cycle, I just don't know how you do it.
96 plants, isn't a joke.
I spend 6 hrs in a single Sunday to rotate the cycle, dry 20/ harvest 20/ transplant 20 & clone 20.

Do you do all of them in a days time?

EZ, yes, I think I deserve a join, it's done.

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the help my friend.
A little contribution to our community, if it helps one person, I'll be happy.

SFE, thanks man.
Keeping a grow going you have to be organize and a little disciplined.
A calendar helps a lot, and also records the rotations so you know where every set of plants is, or what they need.
It's not really hard to keep track of multiple grows if you have some kind of time table that shows you virtually the whole years cycle.
When it works in "paper" and the #'s are right, it's time to start growing.
Nothing should go wrong.

Do you do all of them in a days time?

no, lol. i trim one day usually, then put plants back in the next day or whatever. then gotta make clones, clean up pots n hydroton, etc. i spend about 10-12 hr day max. if its more then that, i break it up to another day. sometimes i push myself, and get the work done in a day, but it becomes a 15-18hr day. with breaks of course.

trimming alone takes me about 10hrs. (10-16oz avg) each cycle, and i do that all myself.

i think i spend maybe 3hrs a week avg, on the grow itself. (watering, general maintenance)

I hear you, booty, definitely it's a lot of work, some don't think so, or see it as fun, thinking only of the rewards of growing.

Some times it's not funny at all, (usually when I feel lazy or tired), and have to get up and go and do the chores.

Is the benefits of growing out-weight the expense and time given?
I don't know if I can answer that....while stone.

im diggin the hell out of the calender. thats what really wasnt makin sense to me on paper. i wasnt taking that week off...thats what was messin me up. i was tryin to cram as much as i could in there...

that really helped me out a bunch.

Lou, how many moms do you have goin and about how long does it take for your moms to be ready for another round? do you think three weeks is enough time? in my plans i was going to go with three moms of the same strain, rotating each week with taking clones. that way by the time i get back to mom #1 shes had three weeks to recover and add nodes. and on your schedule of 6 weeks with one off they would have four weeks after each second cycle.

wk1 #1, wk 2 #2, wk 3 #3, wk 4 #1, wk 5 #2, wk 6 #3,wk 7 OFF, wk 8 #1......etc....

this is great. thanks man.:thumb:
