Ooh, ooh, may I try? =)
From what I've come to understand, a Perpetual Harvest may be achieved by having a dedicated Veg area (24/0 or 18/6 for argument's sake) and a Flowering area (12/12).
Both rooms are constants, the light cycles never changing. If and when you determine a clone/cutting/seedling/growth is ready, you physically move it over into your 12/12 area.
In this Flowering area, only the light cycle is constant, as you are bringing in and removing each plant based on it's own individual growth.
In sum and theory, if you have a single mother, every cut you take from that mother will grow at the same rate. If you removed a Vegging clone on the 1st of the month, and it takes exactly 60 days, then loosely translated, you will have a fully flowered girl ready for harvest on the 1st of the month, two months later.
So if I place a Veg'd cut into the Flower room on the 1st and 15th of every month for two months, then I would have four blooming ladies in my Flower room, each separated by two weeks of growth? If each stays to the 60 day bloom schedule, then every two weeks, I should be able to cut down and harvest in the same order that I placed them in to flower? How close am I to understanding what I read on Google?

absolutely. this is the simple (setup-wise) way of achieving perpetual harvest. the finicky part is that you have to keep track of who's who and how old they all are within the one room. that and you risk tracking potential pathogens across various stages of development as opposed to just one (this can be a problem with pests because you almost always have girls who are too close to harvest to be treated in the same room).
on a larger scale, perpetual harvest can also be achieved by having four separate flowering chambers and a veg area. if you're working with an 8wk strain, with enough moms and some planning, you can harvest every 2 weeks. the setup is a major (omfg) hassle but it's easier to keep track of which room comes down when. there's also no shared pathogens; if you get a problem in one room, even if it eradicates everything in that one room it's easier to take precautions against it spreading to the other stages.
and yeah, perpetual harvest and SoG - totally different things, but, SoG is a popular method for perpetual because of the no/short veg time required (makes calendar math simpler).
