Any advice on doing a perpetual grow? I have 5 new auto strains that will all get 18 hours from start to finish. Could I start 2 seeds every 2 weeks so I always have a harvest every 2 weeks? I have 30 total auto seeds and my tent can hold 8 full grown at a time.

Hey mate! What is the size of your tent and your containers? How many plants do you think you can fit in? In the end that are the questions you have to get an answer for to make your math. But yeah, popping two seeds every two weeks seems reasonable, allthough i would personally prefer 4 seeds every 4 weeks but that is your decision, you can popp a seed every week if you feel so.. Good luck 🍀 with your grow ✌️

I have Garden of Green Gorilla Glue #4 auto, LSD auto, Quarter Pounder auto, AK-59 auto, and Red Super Skunk. I have 6 of each and would like to do 2 to 4 plants at a time. Would it be better to start 4 once a month instead? That should make up for the height situation because at flower my light should be 12" and the seedlings would be 24" away...I've never used a dome. I would have to think of a setup with my mini humidifier on the one end set on a timer or something so it doesn't run long and set it at the lower end of the recommended RH for vegging. Thoughts?

My tent is 36x20x53. I didn't think of humidity. Would it work with domes on the babies.

It's possible yet hard work I used to do this and I struggled with the different foods and at times messed-up and gave them the wrong food what I try to do is I have veg area and then flowering tent and I turn 3 plants every 5/6 weeks then 2 different sizes so need to get shelves to make the lights distance good for both sizes its still hard work and takes lots of time it's electricity cost if in uk like me I have 3 lights on and the fan's and filter and smscom and heating all set to perfect temperature and I swoped to leds cos the hps cost to much im paying about £7/£8 a day in electricity around £50/60 a week but I'm in flowering and some got 4/5 weeks left others 7/8 weeks then I got 2 mums in veg tent and 4 new little seeds just potted ready for the next round I love my girls and play them music and just hopefully no hermies this time check out my dairy and message me directly if you need anymore advice be careful on this site lits answer wrong so always research online and don't take first person has true good luck and happy growing

If you put your carbon filter outside of the tent you would have even more room! 2 seeds every 2 weeks would over an average run of 12 weeks equal 12 pots at any one time. (6x2 pots) IMO you would be far better off (and much easier/simpler) to do a run of 6-8 pots every 3 months.

the volatility in time required will make it less predictable, but you would 'average' a harvest every 2 weeks or so, sure. you'd benefit from getting good at recognizing how much time you have left and germinate based on that 2-week guesstimate for best results. this would avoid having more pots than possible in the tent. you get greater economies of scale doing larger runs. dry properly and storage for a year or 2 is really no big deal. 2-way humidity packs help, too. just a thought... a lot more opportunity for inefficiencies to crop up with perpetual grows. easier with autoflowers, though.

Whoops... had one more thought... my once concern would be lighting... you'd have to have a system of shelving or something so the smallest of plants could be at the right distance from the lights... and not get shaded out by the larger plants....

Theoretically, anything is possible! You'd have to keep excellent notes on each plant so you know what you're doing with her but yeah - I'd go for it if you have the room!

I already water twice a day so it isn't any extra work for me. With 8" pots I can fit up to 10 side by side in 2 rows. I would have different jugs of nutes for each stage. Any advice would be great.
