A mother tent could be as small as a square foot cabinet like mine 4 bonsai mums. 5x3x6 veg, 3x3x6 and 5x5x6.5 flower tent. Flower tents being 6ft or 6.5ft or taller is real ease of growth, being able to stand inside tent. Then as for width having 1 plant in 3x3 and 4 plants in 5x5 is ease of growth too.
With clones it will be a breeze eventually figuring out how to finish and flip fresh plants on a tight schedule. I should get an easy 2 lbs per 2.5 months or more. I may of figured out how to finish a week early so could have 5.79 harvest per year.
I cut out some colas of mold, had some kind of root rot/fusarium wilt symptoms lost lots of bud. Still got 2lbs last harvest even though I had less flower space. 9 square foot less to be exact. Hence I believe this can pump out lbs fast.
I have a 1x2x2 mini tent for a couple clones to find new genetics so I dont end up with a full size plants worth of somethin I dont like. Need to figure out what grow method will work, must know how to clone, must have genetics first.
