This is my sixth grow and I’ll move to a more perpetual system.
I’m going to use two tents. The new smaller tent will be for veg. I’ve set up my old Mars 120w ‘blurple’ LED. I’ll start by doing simple LST in this tent as well. Then I’ll move them into the existing flowering tent at 4 weeks and start scrogging them into the nets.
Until now I’ve used one tent to grow for 12 weeks, drying for 1 week then leaving a one week gap before setting up again. 14 weeks. Now I will overlap grows by 4 weeks and have 8 weeks between each grow. But I’ll also harvest each plant in stages, starting at ~9 weeks. This way I will also be harvesting 3 out of every 8 weeks. That is the plan anyway.
Another change I’m making this grow is to go down from 4 to 2 plants in bigger pots. I’ve just put a Green Gelato and a Northern Light in to pop. Just a 2 week overlap this time.
Update: after 4 days both seedlings popped up. I’m liking the straight into soil approach. 100% every time I have tried it. Just got to be careful about the watering in the big pots.
I’m going to have to find a way to start the training process. I’ll start with simple LST in the veg tent. But when I move them over to the flowering tent I want the two plants to train around each other in a circle. I’ll go a little up the sides but only where I run out of room. I won’t send any vertically up the sides either. Then at 7 weeks in I’ll plant the seeds for the next crop in the veg tent. 6 weeks in each tent would be the optimum time frame. But I don’t want to leave them too long under the weaker lights or have too many problems training them.
