Can I set up a perpetual harvest without the use of clones?
I am planning to set up an organic soil grow in a 3x3 dual chamber tent. I will use a 600 watt hps for flowering with an air cooled reflector and plenty of ventilation and a SCROG of 2 big plants in each chamber. I will have 2 separate chambers, but I was wondering if I can set it up so that I can run a perpetual harvest WITHOUT the use of clones. If I use a strain with a flowering time of about 8-9 weeks, couldn't I just veg some fem seeds for 8-9 weeks (CFLs, LEDs, and possibly some T5s). Since the growth rate will be a bit slow with organic soil compared to hyrdo, and I am trying to fill 9 square feet of screen with just 2 plants, wouldn't I be able to veg for 8-9 weeks? How long would it take to fill a 3x3 screen (at 8 inches) ~75% with just 2 plants in organic soil using 300-500 watts of CFL/LED/T5? Or, if this doesn't sound right, what could I do to make it happen? Raise the screen to 12''? Veg for 24/7 instead of 18/6 or somewhere in between? Or will I need to plant a few more plants? Vegging that long, what size buckets will I need? I am trying to reach an 8 or 9 week veg time with a 2 plant scrog so I can run perpetual without cloning. Any suggestions?
