I'd love an oz a month. But, I'd need to get a tent. Or try cramming a heavy fucker into my cab and hope I can maintain it.

Either that. Or run a mother-clone system in perpetual.
If you don’t mind running a higher plant count and can fit a veg area in perpetual is the way to go,you can even stagger your cycle so you harvest half the plants every 4 weeks

I would have the space for perpetual, if I could clear out the remaining shite in the spare room.

I've got a space I could use to hold a mother. Or to maybe put in 1 or 2 clones til they're ready. But it's one or the other right now. I don't have another containment ready for the whole 3 stage process.

My other dilemma is that I used my cab to dry the harvest last time. As- once again. I dont have dedicated spaces for each process.

The two ssh are completely different looking phenos tho .. 1 is smaller with darker more sativa looking leaves and the other has big broad leaves and is shooting up .. probably gonna turn out male ..

You don’t have to keep a mother plant. I just cut clones when they are put into flower the main reasons of keeping a mother are if you are taking lots of clones and it’s easier to keep 1 plant super healthy so your clones don’t degenerate over time

How far away is your light from the canopy? And is it HPS/MH?
Hps .. id have to say about 40 cm atm .. i will bring it right down in a few days .. im foliage feeding with a 1-100 mix of seasol atm 3-4 times a day and if the lights to close im afraid the water plus intense light will burn them. just waiting for the root system to build up a bit more

holy 5 megabyte image batman! so high res I think i can see one of your pubes on the floor
If you can spot a pube im slipping ! Like my space as sterile as possible .. scrubbed out with a strong disinfectant then sprayed with a long lasting bug spray and will vac out the floor once a week .. a bit ocd I know but clutter and mess often results in mites .. and I hate those fuckers .. but the pic is just str8 from my phone .. qaulity Samsung ;)

my brother runs 3-4 plants perpetual doing this with a minimal veg space. cuts clones and roots them in a wardrobe while flowering the plants that the cuttings came from in the big tent, then do the switcheroo every 8 or 9 weeks. occasionally theres a little overlap but its totally manageable. growing hydro helps here - everything's a bit quicker

This what I aim to do but not hydro. so switcharoo every 90 days. (600w in soil seems to take that little bit longer to finish flowering properly)

thats it in a nutshell - if you need more time on either end a bit of topping and training can help you cope with keeping the veg time in sync with flowering

Hmmm. I guess I just need a secondary bigger space to keep a couple plants then. My old light says it will cover between 2 and 3 square feet. 3 for veg. 2 for flower.
