you clone a healthy mother plant? Would nine cuttings ever 2 weeks be to much? trying to time a perperual grow.

thanks for any input.

get multiple mothers like 3-4 and just take 2-3 cuttings from each one every two weeks. that would be easier on the plants.

but by the time you harvest the first set of clones you will have like 100 plants if you go five months for each set. or are you doing a perpetual sea of green?

take 3 cuts per mom every 3 wks
3 wks to root them
4 weeks to veg them
8 weeks to flower

annnd repeat. basic idea..... 2 rooms 9 in each room stagered a month apart...........am i even close.

thanks for any help

4 weeks to flower?

What strain are you growing? Most will take at least 2 months to flower and I veg for the same amount of time (bigger plants = bigger buds). Of course I have 9feet of height in my grow area, so I can veg longer.

How much room do you have in your grow room?

The way I cycle my perpetual growth:
I can fit up to 6 plants in flower and 6 plants in veg. My current strain takes 8-9 weeks to flower, so that's how long I veg for. When I cut down what's in flower, I clone from what's in veg (1 trimming from each plant). I leave the new clones in veg while I transfer their moms into flowering. Once those are done budding, I transfer the clones I took into flower and take a trimming from each of them... and the cycle repeats.

I went back and edited, i cant believe i put 4 weeks for flower. i have been MJ cramming all day. im trying to lay everything out on paper so i can come up with a build list and cost. ATM i just have a cardboard growbox going.

i like the SOG method your usesing. so from the time you cut the clone, you veg them for the 8 weeks. then flower for 8 weeks. idealy id like to do 18 ladies every month. I will prolly start with a 3x6 foot room seperated with a 400 hps in each flowering room.stangered a month apart. ill have a CFL mother and veg area

veg and clone in one room flower in the other veg, taking clones in stages, I would consider 8wks veg and flower it would be easier to manage the intervals of so if you took a batch of 9 let them root for 2-3 and then vegged them for 5-6 weeks you could move that set into your flowering room 4weeks before you harvest the set in flower if you run a 1000w in flower and reach the average of .75 grams per watt thats 750g of bud every month so 2.6oz dry thats on the low side of the numbers 1.5g per watt is achievable. and i have no idea what 9 plants would do under a 1000w with 8wks I could be way low.

i like the 8 week veg system for sure. only time will tell as far as dry yeild goes. wouldnt a 400w HPS with a 55,000 lumen bulb be enough for 9 square feet 3x3?
