that's a hefty harvest every 35 days! the kind of grows everyone wants to see haha. I haven't personally seen a documented grow that got that much, that frequently, but of course it can be done. I would assume it would most likely be a perpetual grow setup. If i were to try to yeild that much i would have two flower rooms on 24 hour flip flop with 3 1000w in each room.(you can buy flip boxes that would allow you to run 3 1000w ballast 24/7 and it just converts the nominal power from one flower room to the other every 12 hours and there are no 12 hour power spikes because you have a continuous 3000w going 24/7). You would also need a veg room going with a few mothers in it. so to make an easy example out of it lets say you want a total of 30 plants in each flower room. you get some mother plants going in your veg room, once they are big enough to get 30 clones going. you chop 30 clones and wait about 2 weeks for them to root before transplanting for veg. You now have your mother plants and 30 vegging plants going in the veg room. You plan on vegging these plants for 30 days (this does not include the 2 weeks for rooting the clones). once the clones have been vegging for about 16 days, you take 30 more clones from your mothers and get them rooting. 2 weeks later, your 30 clones are ideally rooted and ready to be vegged, your 30 vegging plants have now vegged for 30 days and are ready to be put in one of your flowering rooms ( assuming they will be there for 60 days), and you still have your original mother plants. So at this point there are 30 plants in 1 flower room, no plants in the other flower room, 30 rooted clones just beginning veg, and your mother plants. after 16 more days, you take 30 more clones from the mothers and begin rooting. 2 weeks later, you have rooted clones, 30 plants that have been vegging for 30 days, 30 plants that are half way through flower, and your original mothers. You move your 30 vegging plants to the other flower room, transplant your clones to start their 30 day veg, and you still have your mothers. assuming you keep taking clones after 16 days of veg for the 30 that are vegging, 30 days later, one of the flowering rooms will be ready for harvest, you have 30 plants that have vegged for 30 days and are ready to be moved into the flower room you just harvested, you have 30 clones that are ready to be transplanted for veg, you still have your original mother plants, and you will be ready to take your next batch of clones in 16 days. Assuming you already have experience under your belt and are capable of getting 1.66 pounds per 1000w light you will hit your goal of 5 lbs every 30 days.

Note, this is a basic model for a perpetual harvest. there are a lot of ways to do it. the model assumes you can get 1.66 pounds per 1000w light, you can successfully root clones in 2 weeks or less, you are not afraid to have over 100 plants, you don't want the 12/12 power spike of having 1 flower room with 6 1000w lights going, and multiple other factors. The bottom line is that it is a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and money! however, it's doable. hope this helped out haha

you dont need videos to understand the basic principal. If your strain finishes in 8-10 weeks from the time you 12/12 peoples heads get stuck on this number. YES it takes this long for a plant to complete; however you will be putting a certain amount of clones into the 12/12 room ( it does not matter how many) the point and simple point is if your putting 4 plants or 9 million in the 12/12 every _____ insert number here. IF your putting them in on constant rate then eventually THAT becomes the number you are harvesting at no matter how long the strain takes to complete. Eventually the flow becomes what you put in the oven lets call it. There will always be some not ready at the same time frame but it wont matter in the long run as you control how much you put into the final room and this is the FLOW or time frame which you harvest as explained. Going with every 3-4 weeks matches the length of your veg cycle so it all works out and would be harder to keep up with a every week harvest but could be done. Slowly you either add another mother plant to the mix to get more clones going. No matter how you get to the 12/12 room whether its in 9 stages or 9 rooms it wont matter, what matters ultimately is how many and how often your putting plants into the oven, that becomes the controlling factor. its simple math and has nothing to do with growing as far as how to get a certain amount on regular basis. The rest is up to your growing skills as a good grower may be able to get the same amount of weed every 3 weeks as a n00b growing 3 times the amount of plants to get same yield.

Take a breath Super! LOL Rambling maybe, but still the facts brother. And IMO 5lbs every 35 days. A grow that size would be hard to hide.

I've seen the videos. I think it's like a 3 part series done by a RIU member. They also have like 3 different 4x6' flowering rooms utilizing aquamist hydroponics if I remember right.

It was easily hidden. The video documents a grow in a large upstairs bedroom. They place fake walling, so the entrance from inside is unnoticeable.

Edit: the room cycles were usually 70-85 days in flowering, with 5-6lbs. So if you have 3 of these going, and start one every month, then you should have a harvest a month at 5lbs. (each room had like 4 1000w hps) Most all of the basic knowledge can be found online, but it's nice seeing it done in a video at such a large scale..

Al B. Fuct gets 2 lbs a month with 2k HPS... (2x 1000w)

I copied him and I get the same with 2400w HPS (4x 600w)

wouldn't take much to double it...

And it takes up a room + a closet in my house...:lol: not a whole building :lol: and it is pretty easy to hide of you do it right...:razz:

i know what ya mean.. i hear florida cops are dickheads of the truest form. In illinois if you wanna grow a plant outdoor you start it indoor, get it up to about a foot tall by the time the corn plants are about that tall. find a power pole you like out in the country, run 40 rows in and switch out a corn plant with yours. works like a charm, just gotta make sure you get it before the combine does in the fall!:bigjoint:
