What is the most efficient way to grow as much cannabis as possible by yourself?

Sounds like you have it all planned out. So why ask? Also, why not start from seeds? I'm bored with this conversation.

I ask just in case someone has a better idea.

Could start from seed sure, the downside is importing a large amount of seeds into my country is risky. I'd have to have a think about that one.

I've read this whole thread and I get the feeling that you have never grown before and have no idea of what you are trying to do.

I read all the plant problems that are posted here. You should take a look at some of the problems people have growing a single plant. Those problems are faced every day. If you are serious then you need to do a small grow and see what it's like.

It you try growing that much I can almost guarantee failure. No amount of advice will take the place of experience. You will need to be able to look at a plant and know what it needs without looking up each problem.

I know that a lot of growers think that growing in the ground is a sin but I grow in amended native soil, was 12 plants now 11. One was a male. Before I found it it pollinated the plant next to it and I hope that's all. That's all you need on a big grow like that to ruin your whole crop. Don't try to convince yourself that's not going to happen.

I've got two outdoor grows under my belt. A few pounds both times. But now I'm aiming higher.

I buy high end genetics so I don't have to worry about males.

In my country, shit outdoors and good outdoors sells for the same price - $5,000 NZD ($3,000USD) per pound.

Ok , the money is there... :mrgreen:

Personally if the money is there I'd just have as many clones as I could ready to hit the dirt when your late spring comes . I'd be digging good sized holes and putting 3-4 clones in each . If you have Espoma dry fertilizer there throw a small bag of Gardentone in each hole .

Go back when all the native vegetation starts really taking off and clear each unit out a bit . Let them go full term and at harvest just grab all the big stuff .

If you don't get all you can handle in colas then go for round two . Leave whatever you can't take out there . Easier to trim and easier to get rid of .
 
All bullshit aside. The most effective way is to know what your doing and not fuck up. Your margin for difference between grow style is minimal compared to what happens if you flower a unhealthy plant or stunt a flowering plant.

Sounds like you already know your answer

Grow Outdoors in ground, grow with good nutes and collect rain water. It's the most efficient way

I agree with you but not all locations can easily do that. Although I have a couple outside, it’s hard to get them to finish without losing a bunch of tops to bud rot. The lower sun and high humidity, and the morning dew on the plants kills it for me at the finish.

Most efficient = Outdoor in ground
As much as possible = Big root space (think bathtub)
By yourself = 10 or less big plants
What type = photo seeds or clones that have resistance against rot and such.
Grow style = top and scrog and NET and frame like crazy for an even canopy.

And to make harvest more easy you can grow strains that wash well for bubble hash. Then you don’t need a massive drying area at all.

Just de leaf and rough trim the bud and break it all down to nugs off the stems.
Then into pillow case size vac bags that you make from a roll. Vac slightly to take out air but not compress. Then into a big chest freezer.
If you want to make bubble you get a rubber mallet and tap the frozen flowers and they should explode into powder in the bag. Then you pour that into an ice wash to agitate then put though the filter bags.
If you want flower pull the bags from the freezer at your leisure and dry a pillow bag at a time later on.
