So my first grow is almost finished and my first batch of clones are almost ready to go into flowering. Im going to try the perpetual grow method so that im harvesting 2 plants every week but I cant decide how I should start it. First let me explain how my grow will work.
I will have 20 plants in my flowering room at all times 16 in the veg room and 4 in cloning. I have figured 10 weeks to flower 8 to veg and 2 weeks in the cloner. So every week 2 plants are moving from clone to veg 2 are moving from veg to flower and I will be harvesting 2 plants every week.
Now I figure I have two options I can either Start by cloning 2 plants every week and build up the number of plants until my perpetual grow is in full swing or I can clone 16 right away and let some of them veg longer except longer would be the last group of 2 plants in the grow would veg for 16 weeks. The first 2 plants would veg normally the next 2 a week more thant the first and so and until I got to the last group of 2 which again would be vegging for 16 weeks. My concern is that the biggest pot I can put the plants into is a 5 gallon and with 16 weeks veg time (plus ill be using the Scrog technique) The plants will become too big for the 5 gallon pots and possibly die? Im not too sure what happens after a plant has outgrown its pot besides becoming root bound and stunted would it flower right and just stay the same size or could it die from being restricted to a pot that isnt big enough. Another note the plantsw will be in soil.
Sorry for the long post hope it all makes sense so whats everyones opinion Should I just wait and grow 2 plants every week or bust out 16 at once to get the perpetual jump started?
