One of the things you can do if your interested in perpetual is to start them earlier than needed and just butcher them if your waiting on flower tent. Make them be a size you want and keep them like that until they hit the dance floor.

Its not easy to get them all the same size each time. I’ve got a fairly spacious built-in dedicated flower room but vegging is done inside tents. I’ve added more satellite grow areas as overcrowding became an issue. I have a friend currently renovating his home during this here quarantine thing and of course his kids are home so Ive been asked to hold onto some clones/full plants much longer than expected.
Due to overcrowding I had to put the bigger plants right on the floor of the bloom room while the smaller ones finish along the side elevated up on milk crates. I try to time it to pull a harvest about every 3-5 weeks.

I have a tent 4x4, a small yard and a better than though waitress type skank for a neighbor. Can't even grow the limit to finish. Be happy.

I have raised garden and actually back plants down as they grow ( 24.00 grated plastic modular shelf’s from Maynerds.) that way I can keep all tops close to light full grow no matter plant size and light to floor of 9’ in 6x8 flower area in 16x16 open space partitioned 2 - 1000 w hortilux HPS on nanolux ballast with ultra lux to 1250.

Funny. I can draw 948W on my cree cobs and I have a fraction of the space. Guess I climb back in my toy box again.

I want to look into a few like we were talking for the extra UV and far Red in flower. You have specs. Start looking at LED stuff and I get lost in the hype.

I can tell you what I have. I have no actual research. Just experience and that is now on grow 4.

Prefer that to a spec sheet of overrated numbers, I say if they look healthy and pray to the light they are happy.

Really messed up. Have a good friend working on his phd in agricultural chemistry. His family owns a huge farm/orchard. But taught me to use a cd to determine the color and outputs of my lights. Just use Uv safe glasses.

Time home is getting me more in touch with plants and their growth rather than just fattening them up on slop like pigs for slaughter. Well bud I’m gonna pack a bowl of play 3 ( the sleepy one) and hit the sack. Son-in-law the chiropractor beat me up pretty good today. Hope you feel better

Peace. Spent too much of the last 5 years watching plants grow and paint dry hoping my wrist worked normally today. Plants don't talk. They yell. Night.
