How often does everyone grow?

Hey guys,
I just wondered how often everyone grows.
So I’m just starting out for personal use, and if I’m honest I haven’t for a clue in weight how much I would or will be smoking.
I use weed mainly for my stress and anxiety, so not everyday and normally just one joint in an evening. Some weeks I may have some a few days on the trot but not always.
My first grow is 2 plants (plus a freebie that I got). Obviously I don’t know how much I’ll yeild and exactly how long it’ll take and how long it’ll last.
i plan on doing my best to properly cure my yeild so it stays potent as long as possible.
I’m sure this will all come apparent eventually, plus everyone is different. And I know I’m months away from worrying about this but I’m wondering if I should be starting germinating again as soon as a harvest to keep my stock up.
I know this ain’t something anyone can answer but myself but just though I’d see what use lot do

It depends how big your plant is
A 3' tall plant could yield 4-6 ounces
I smoke daily, (not as much as some extream users) and only consume 0.5 ounce-1 ounce a month
You could easily be a quarter as much as that
So one 3' tall plant might last you a year- year and half
I would wait to plant another untill you've fully harvested, dried, and are curing your product. That way you will no be overwhelmed your first time.
I would guess a person like you might be able to grow one or two good plants, once or twice every year and be set

I was planning on growing one Sativa and one Indica so I had a choice but then someone pointed out the difference in height and flowering times so took that as a good point as I only have room for one tent for growing and drying etc. Would love to do that in future though to grow a variety

I suppose there is always the option to cut down on veg time to speed everything up and decrease yield. That way I can grow more varieties but I’ll be constantly growing.
plus I prefer to get the most out of my money so even though the seeds ain’t expensive, it’s be a shame to waste their potential lol

Started my 1st indoor last fall. Currently 9th week of flower on a single plant. Weighing the cost and consumption vs just buying from black market connections, I can see already im way ahead growing so looks like my 'guy's' will be sad to no longer have my business.

So to answer the question, I'm going year round from here on out.

Right now I'm limited to 4 plants in flower, and I almost always grow 4 different strains at a time-pure sativas, pure indicas, some hybrids. I love to have a variety of top tier head stash around to suit my moods. Sure, you have to deal with insane height differences and grow times, but it's worth it to me.

I get about roughly 3 grows done in my tent a year with all them grows with 8 different strains growing. (Mostly photoperiod Indica/hybrid feminized seed with occasional autos here and there) I’m odd on weed because some strains just work wonderfully on me and then 3 days later, nothing near what I was getting prior. So I will switch it up to a new strain and so my next 3 day cycle starts.(same with my mom) So that is why I grow so many strains at the same time in the tent. Plus I will also do my Canadian summer grow outside as well and I grew 11 plants, 2 clones other from seed. Will try to get my outdoor girls a head start this year in the tent before moving them outside. I think this past November I had close to 14lbs of dried weed in my basement but I love sharing my weed with my neighbours, friends and family. Hoping for a couple lbs with my current grow where I have 9 strains growing right now.

Start ya germ. Old stoners will always help. Beware the addiction....I started growing my own meds over 15 yrs ago....sure...just for myself has never ended.....been perpetual since.....all other hobbies are gathering dust while I watch weed grow.
I veg in one area, constantly feeding mature plants to a flowering area....If ya shoot for healthy plants, you'll never worry about yeild.
I like growing multiple strains in small pots so I can grow more at a time for more variety. Harvesting different times adds more dimension to choices...also seems to draw more visitors.....

A lot is going to depend on the persons weed habit(consumption) and how well they can garden.if you don’t consume much but can grow 5-6 oz cured from each plant you might only need one grow a year.

I’m a huge pothead
Usually I do three small grows a year 4-6 plants each run. If all go well I’m set for smoke,if something goes wrong I’ll usually try to get a fourth grow in or throw som autos out in the summer

You sound like you got it worked out.

I got into dabbing right before I got into growing, so I gotta grow a lotta plants to keep myself in the rosin haha.

I'm still getting spun up but I just chopped down 5 plants last month and already have another 6 a week past the flip, with more seeds popped for the next generation.

I'd love to have the "problem" of having too much weed but I'm not quite there yet thanks to my taste for concentrates.

So do you grow different stuff at the same time in the same tent?
