Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

stinkbud,
so i am wondering, there must come a day in your house every three weeks where you have to move plants from clone to veg, more from veg to flower all while taking cuttings to put in the cloner, and on top of it all, harvesting a pound. do you have a specific routine when this day comes, how long does it take you? i imagine you have to start with harvesting in order to make room for everything else?

I have a mini schedule, I take clones a week ahead of the cycle shift, then when that week passes, move em all around on Saturday, do res cleaning, ect. Repeat every few weeks.
I'm on a mini version of this system though. I'm only growing lollipops.

same thing but in a nice box with a nice price tag. lol. If I wasnt a cheap/broke ass I would buy one, or if didnt want to tackle makin one.
thanks for the links.

Kinda dumb ? been wonderin what the term lollipops is? seen it in other threads but never asked. Maybe we call it somethin else in my area and I allready know or not. thanksI have a mini schedule, I take clones a week ahead of the cycle shift, then when that week passes, move em all around on Saturday, do res cleaning, ect.

you know what a lollipop looks like (a stem with a round thing at the the top) you take off the lower 1/3 of your plant then all the juices are focused on the top where the big buds will form instead of wasting good nutes on the smaller buds on the bottom that dont get any light

Was kinda thinkin that but wasnt sure. So that would be to conserve space for some of these micro-sized gardens. I would assume then you could keep them closer together right. thanks

Closer together and you don't need as much supports, there are no off shoots so it goes straight up. You put a very small clone in flowering basically.Was kinda thinkin that but wasnt sure.

right on bro sounds to me like you have the real og kush ya its a hard plant to root for bigginers and pros ive got it down though from trial and error i havnt tryied the stink areo cloner yet but i just use rockwool cubes and dyna grow gel works great og kush takes at least 10 to 16 days to root shes a very tempermental strain shes likes it hot and a lot of co2 ive found that over the years she likes it to be 89 wich i know is kinda hot but she really moves and gets dark green when you keep it at 89 i have had my temps at 85 and she rocked but not like 89 almost night and day difference in growth rate i havent finished a crop yet with the stink system i put 2 8 footers / fence posts in my room i wish i would have used 3 know but hey trial and error is what its all about im still very very impressed with the over all growth rate towards the last 8 days of harvest i flush with plain water and cool my room down to 75 she sugars up hard when you do this i use dynagrow / grow 7/9/5 at veg at 420 ppm so far with no burning at all but a slight tip burn wich is perfect im sure ill bump it up to 600 ppm when shes has some decent size nugs after two weeks at 12 /12 i switch to dyna grow bloom witch is 3/12/6 i also use proteck it fights of pests and is just a catalast to getting everything moving and the plants just love it i advise you to go to dyna-grow.com to see what im talking about the stuff is amazing remember when stink said people rant and rave about the taste of his buds i get that too and its a great feeling let me tell you dyna-grow has won all kinds of awards a lot of peeps have had bad results with it because the try to put the ppm at 1000 0r 1500 to start off but you cant with this stuff its really potent thats why you cant go to high on ppm when there young i put it to 390 ppm then when they start flowering i bump it up to 420 then in the middle of flowering 550 to 600 ppm no higher or you will burn her up i use straight tap water its a amazing 40 ppm right out of the hose i hope i answerd most of your questions if you need anymore help ill do my best to help peace bro

cool thanks.Closer together and you don't need as much supports, there are no off shoots so it goes straight up. You put a very small clone in flowering basically.
also anyone I have like 20-30 plants about 2-4" tall most about 2 weeks old. all from seeds (non fem) and there roots are sooo long. I want to move these into a flower unit soon cause the roots are so big the netcups almost dont come out of the lid. The bad part is the plants are so short and bushy but not long enough shoots to take a clone from yet. I see some of the longest roots (about 18-20") have allready gotten into the pump or got broken off or somethin, there still fine and growing nicely. Should I just keep lettin them veg till I can take clones and flower them after or just put them into flower and take clones later. Again they are all from seed and are bound to have some males.
thanks again for everyones help on here.
peace

that's a ridicules amount of amp's, Watts are the product of volts times amps.
who ever made these test must have done something wrong
based on this logic, my 14amp constant AC
wont event fire up on a 15amp 110v circuit!
he will draw exactly 1.136amp MAX for all 5 pumps at any given time
the first formula from my previous post should to the trick for you Dirt
125w / 110v = 1.136amp

that happens when the line already being pushed to its capabilityDude your forgetin bout startup amps. Like when a big ac unit kicks on and your lights dim for a second thats the second of startup amp draw, its only for a split second though then it drops back down were your sayin.
I've never heard of a formula for start up added draw
Watts are the product of volts times amps!
compare it to a hose when you open it at first, it doesn't shoot more stream then it can; when it starts.
if you average the flow from first split second, it will show you statistical data that's a bit off at first
due to air expelling, time it take for the water to actually reach your node, atc...
once these are all flowing the statistical information will look different few seconds later
averages always off the first split second with a digital gauge,
your going from 0 to 10 the first split second, averaging 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 once it reaches 10 your calculating average of 10
that's why the first second with a digital gouge it will get all over the place at first then get the correct average
based on the logic of the tester
one cant run 5 pumps at once of a 15 amp circuit, it will blow

It takes me a day and half to harvest and start up a new batch.
I start early on harvest day. I cut each plant one at a time. I trim all the buds and put them on a window screen to dry.
It takes all day to trim a pound. The next day I clean the room and system. Then I transfer all the plants from veg to flower.
You need to have 14 netpots and collars ready for the veg unit so water won't spray out as you remove them from the veg unit. You could turn the pump off but it's not good for the plants that get left behind.
I always have 4 plants that stay in my veg unit an extra 3 weeks. I use these 4 extra spaces for seed starts or slow growing strains.
I take cuttings from the new plants that that I just moved to the flower room. I'll move a clone into the veg unit and take a new cutting to fill the space.
Last thing I'll do is change the water and nutes in all the reserviors.
It usually takes me about a half a day to clean and restock.
If you hang your plants to dry then you can cut harvest time down to one day. Then you can just trim the buds later when you have time.
I'll use this method if I'm strapped for time.

electric motors take a lil umpf to start. Thats why most larger motors have a capacitors on them. Im going to have to cut my cord open a lil to put my amp probe/meter around it flip the switch on my timer to watch how it pegs when the pump is turned on. I do know these small pumps dont really draw to much.that happens when the line already being pushed to its capability
