what light set up do you use? Could you give us a little more info on your set up and number of plants. Great workI veg for 10 days and I average just over an ounce per plant.

Q,
That what you have to decide also. If you are going colas only you will get a bigger cola from a bigger plant with a bigger stem with bigger roots. It's like the difference of the nutes being able to take the interstate or a country road to the budsite. Sometimes when a young plant has in essence a baby it is smaller than if the plant was more mature. The real change in vegging it is to let the plant grow some bud producing branch growth. Some strains are very branchy while others work better as a single cola or some combination of the two.
That is sick, I have yet to complete a full harvest on my setup... I'll be doing 16 plants in two 2'x4' trays in my 5x5 hut.... I'll also have my trays waist high (no bending over), one week veg, tryin for 1 1/2 zips per plant, maybe i'll match youI have gotten close to 1oz per plant (dried) but not quite. My setup is clones go straight to flower once clones have good roots. also I cut larger than average clones to begin with. My setup is perpetual with 40 plants harvested every 2 to three weeks. But co2 will be a must to get some size them.
Best I have achieved so far is 33 zipps dried and bagged from 40 plants, which ain't so bad considering they came from 1/2 of a 3x8 table (12sq ft area)
No super cropping lengthens veg time from what I've readwould super cropping help, in this guys case?
Here is the issue with your option.
During cloning there is almost no hi impact light, and usually no real nutrients.
This means, that when you go to the flowering stage, there is nothing to work with. It is why Human Babies dont go from a diaper directly to puberty. This is what you are trying to do.
At the very least do a week of vegging, and you will see a huge difference. You can use your blooming lights for this.
But if the plants have no stored energy or nutes, why would you get the effect you want? An ounce a plant is not unrealistic, but it is with no vegging at all. Technically, your cloning period is a vegging period, but with no nutes, small roots, and no built up light energy. . . . . . . I am tending to think you will usually not get big results. Remember an ounce for a 6" plant is a shit ton!
I have expereminted with PPP,White Widow and Bubblegum.Here is the breakdown.
You can bud a clone that just started rooting. But why?
If you can stand to veg for 1 to 3 weeks, you will see bigger and better results. It is that simple. A 3" clone can be budded, but to what end? You are more likely to get more and better bud if you veg. Also how are you going to do any purning/FIM etc. if there is no veg cycle?
It can work, but you are still going to have to flower for almost the same amount of time. Even if you pull an ounce a clone(if they are less than 12" when you start I would have to bet against you), you would have pulled double or triple or more than that if you had vegged the same strain!
If the idea is time, create a cloner, vegger and flowering area. Then you can stagger your crops, and always have a bud 3 weeks or so out. If you are constantly turning clones into vegging, then trading in vegging for blooing in one area, then cropping the next area. . . and so on. You will see bigger better results quicker.
If the idea is time and space(you live with mom, at a college, roomates etc.) and you have to keep the plants small, then make sure you have a strain that tends to be small and bushy. Like blueberry or some such strain. Do not use OG, or Big Buds for this method, they love to be tall, and take 70 days just for blooming.
you are confused as to what % extra yield co2 will give you, it is up to 20% -25%.As long as you are willing to do what it takes to balance everything in the system for fast high yield I am quite certain you will like the difference CO2 makes. Co@ should cut at least 20% off your time and improve yield 50% to 100% or more if all other adjustments and controls are also used for a good parameter balance.
Not taking side here but I have a sealed flower room (8x12) with 2 ebb and flow tables (3x8 ea) with 80 netpots per table. I have ran perpetual grow in it since March of this year with 40 rooted clones going straight into flower every 2 to 3 weeks. Ea table has 2 1000w HPS in cool tubes. Before I added CO2 to the room I was averaging about 1.0 to 1.25 lbs of dried and cured bud per 12 sf (1/2 of ea table) and on average it was taking 10 week for ea section to mature for harvest..A cpl months ago I add CO2 , added an add'l window a/c unit to supplement the central a/c duct I ran into the room, also added a dehumidifer unit to handle to god awful ammt of humidity I have where I live. I also raised my ppm in the nute tank which is a 125 gallon central tank that supplies both tables I now have everything 99% dialed in and the results are as follows....you are confused as to what % extra yield co2 will give you, it is up to 20% -25%.
fuck, if i could get your claim of 50% to 100% of improved yield just for the small price of co2 that costs me £60 per grow if i use it, then i would have my own spaceshuttle by now and i could join you on your own fucking planet.
i have to call you out on this one and say that you are running off at the mouth.
