Three month cycle?

pegboy · Jan 13, 2023

I basically try to keep my grows on a 3 month cycle which only leaves me about a month of veg from seed? Is it worth the extra time to veg a bit longer and maybe do one less harvest a year? While u usually fill out my tent horizontily I definitely have room to grow up. But is it worth the extra time and lost harvest?

Why not get a tent that's a size or 2 smaller for a veg tent. Go perpetual.

We try to go with 3 sets of 3 in a 5x5 for flower and we have a 3x3 Veg tent where we start way too many plants and then pick 3 and move em up.

Currently very tight on space
( I'm stuck with a 2x2 jamed in the corner of my livingroom). That is likely to change be springtime though. Right now though its the only option.

I'd try to find a way to cut time off the other grows and squeeze another in. That's just me tho.

Do you do a sog?

I average a 5 month cycle from seed..
If you want shorter than that you should do clones.

Well...Not since I've been back to growing. It used to be the only way I grew back in the day (90s). For the last few years I run two plants and top em twice-ish very early in veg. Seems to be working well for me. I'm getting just around 4oz +/- (good buds) on the three month cycle. SOG is definitely something I've been pondering here for the lsat few grows. I grow in 4"x4" rockwool cubes so I would have plenty of room as far as that was concerned. What do you think you could SOG in a 2x2 tent. Could I get 5?

Again....very tight on space. I think my girlfriend would kill me. haha. And she smokes more than me. lol

That is my thinking. A full extra grow in a year is huge imo.

I dry in the same tent so it adds downtime..

Sorry I'm baked and understood the question wrong.
What I meant to say is personally, I dont like to veg long, that way I can get more grows in. More grows more weed.
Yes your yeild will increase and you'll get nicer, fatter buds generally with a longer veg but the amount of time vs the yeild increase is less than pumping out a whole extra grows yeild. (Especially for me...limited on height)
For some of us, we run mother rooms and take cuts, which will kinda cut down your seed growth time.

I feel like sog is the answer if you want to veg for a shorter time and try to get an extra grow in.

You have a journal? I’d love to follow your 3 month cycle

No journal but I can post pics with dates?

pegboy · Jan 13, 2023

I usually start the folder with a date and then the first pic is at flip. However my last grow just so happens I have documented from very early seedling. here you go. I'll post every single picture I have. I really have no reason to bullshit you so here it is.
