Hi All,
My first crop was in 1978, but it was also my last, getting arrested was no fun...
My back is jacked up and a friend has cancer so I now have a card and can grow 6 plants.
Of course, I want to maximize the yield, here is my basic setup and operational plan:
4x4 grow room http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=GRGL145&eq=&Tp=
6 of these systems (6 gal self contained hyrdopots) http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=HGSBSCGC&eq=&Tp=
I would basically try and Harvest 1 big plant every 2 weeks, here is how I think I can do it.
4 weeks veg, 8 weeks bud.
Every 2 weeks, get a few clones off of a mother plant. The best of the clones would be transplanted into one of the 6 large pots and allowed to veg for 4 weeks
After a plant has vegged for 4 weeks, I would then move it into the 4x4 grow room for budding.
There would always be a total of 4 plants in the bud room, each in their own containers, all aged 2 weeks apart. For Example, one would have been budding for 2 weeks, one for 4, one for 6 and one for 8.
The advantage of using the pots that are each a self contained hydro unit are that I can set the nutrients for each plant according to it's specific age, cycle, and health. Plus, when i screw it up, I will only kill one plant
Questions:
Should I go with 1-1000 watt bulb horizontally at the top, or maybe 2-600's hanging vertically down the center?
By only having 4 plants total in the bud room, each with it's own large pot, should I be able to get as much as 8 oz a plant at harvest?
This concept keeps me under the 6 mature plant limit is there a better setup i should consider to stay withing the letter of the law?
Of course i will do all the other stuff, temp control, odor control, PH, etc. etc. just trying to get a good high-yield rotation going.
Thanks in advance...
