yeh the or depending on the size they get,i may do 1 a week. i wonder how many plants i can have with a 150w hps and CFL's? there gonna be max like 1 1/2 ft- 2ft tall, there gonna be in rotation..so wen one is ready for harvest the clone is already planted, OR i could do like 3-4 regular size and do scrog..i still have to figure out which will produce more bud, or wuld i rather have a harvest every week of a small amount? wat do u guys think that a plant that size culd yield? (the 1 1/2-2ft'er the attached photo, in the mountain dew bottle, maybe like? 1/2 oz? dry? have 2 of those harvested everyweek? or get like 6oz's of 3-4 plants in scrog?
I would do the one a week because if the plants are't veged right your gonna be waisting the time veging for small yeilds when you could have done SOG with short plants

uhm not entirely sure as of yet, i donot have a veg chamber, but i culd throw a few cfl's in a box and veg them in there for a few weeks till about 8in maybe? then flower in the dreser thats gonna be 12/12(cuz im gonna have different age plants in there) and i can put clones in the veg chamber till there ready, and have like a system going and make it a harvest as often as possible.

well if you don't want to have very tall plants , you could have a 2 level area , 1 for moms and 1 for rooting and veging clones

well the dresser is probably 3 ft tall..wow now that i actually measured it, its not that big lol..jesus, i thot that bitch for sum reason was lke 5ft, but its only 3 LoL..by 2ft and almost 2 ft deep maybe, so its a decent size for a 150w hps and what i wanan do with it, i have another FULL size pc tower, from like thermaltake so i can use that for a veg room, its a tall case so i can use that maybe, and flower in the dresser,my room has limited space, i got fucked with the room with no closets and its like 10ftx10ft room and i built my bed on a loft so i have under it where my pc is and desk and other dresser,aand i have another little loveseat(2 seat couch) also iin the room so i wuldnt be able to fit another dresser, but a pc case would work great.

you could buy 2 rubbermate contanors and stack em and cut the bottom of the top one and the lid of the bottom one and glew it to the lid of the bottom contanor.

that case is bigger then what I thought it would have been. I was just thinking if you could rig some thing up you could have your plants growing this way '' <-----> '' just as long as the tops of the plants are facing the light

To tell you the truth , I was actuly thinking on doing this for my grow since if I can rig it up right I can use less lights for veg then what my other layout I had plan would have used:bigjoint:
