Awesome kidsingle! I started growing because a buddy of mine grew some in a cabinet using some CFL's. The weed was pretty damn good so I figured I'd try myself.
I've now got two 400W HPS's for flowering and one 21,000 lumen CFL homemade light for veg. I figured this would allow me to have six new plants every month. One month in veg then two months in flower. A veg plant goes to the flowering light as soon as the flowering crop is harvested. Now you move the clones you created two weeks earlier from your mother plant under the vegging light.
Each crop consists of six clones from a mother plant. A mother plant can easily give me six clones a month. Usually people take clones every two weeks.
Basicially my system goes like so:
Month 0.0: Move crop 1 clones to veg light.
Month 0.5: Start clones for crop 2.
Month 1.0: Move crop 1 to flower. Move crop 2 clones to veg light.
Month 1.5: Start clones for crop 3.
Month 2.0: Crop 1 flowering. Move crop 2 to flower. Move crop 3 clones to veg light.
Month 2.5: Start clones for crop 4.
Month 3.0: Harvest and dry/cure crop 1. Crop 2 flowering. Move crop 3 to flower. Move crop 4 clones to veg light.
Month 3.5: Start clones for crop 5.
Month 4.0 Crop 1 dry/cure done, ready for smoking! Harvest and dry/cure crop 2. Crop 3 flowering. Move crop 4 to flower. Move crop 5 clones to veg light.
... continue cycle ad infinitum.
This should give me about six to twelve ounces a month for my own use. Since I can't possibly smoke that much I'll be able to save four ounces a month at least. I'll let this long cure for several month. Once I build up a nice stash of weed that's cured for at least six months, I'll drop down to four plants a month. Plus I'll be growing the certified bad ass weed then too so it should go a lot farther.
Man, I need to get a good vaporizer.
