Harvest one plant a week? 400w HPS, 150w HPS

Hello every one, I would like some help planning a small scale perpetual grow.

As my state laws say I can legally grow 12 plants. My plan is to have 2 mother and 2 clones in a veg room set up with a150w HPS and some CFL's

In my flower room I would have 8 plants, each on a different week of flowering.
The plants would be flowering under a 400whps system again with some CFL's for good measure.

A few questions I have, can I flower 8 plants under a 400w? Keep in mind they will each be in a difrent week of flower so most wont be full size.

Also is two weeks enough time to veg my clones before I put them in to the flower room?

Thanks for any insight.

nice state laws lucky lol
but you dont want to over grow your space so really depends on your area
i would use both of the hps for the flower stage and use the cfls or floros for the mother plant and clones , there cheaper and they do just fine.
if you wanna take a look go to my sig and check out my journal i started with just floros for a long time and they did just fine!
that extra 150 watt hps would help if you wanted to grow 8
hope this helps!

* heres some pics of what u can do with a single floro

Wow very nice.

I'll probably use both of HPS light for flowering.

I just picked up a 2.5'x2.5' 6' cabinet for the veg room. : ) Should be enough space if I flower mothers every so often.


I'm wondering if Id be better off with two mother and 2 clones or three clones and one mother.

Is two weeks long enough to veg clones, or is it not enough?

I would like some more input on the basic idea.

The idea is to have 8 plants flowering, each one a week older than the next so I can harvest a single plant a week.

Will a SOG set up work even if every plant is a week younger than the one before it? I will put the shorter ones on blocks. I can't think of a reason why it won't work but I would still like some input.

I'm going to go with a 5x5 Jarden tent and a 600w HPS for flowering.

Just breezin through... From my own experince so far which is (one grow done second grow in process with clones) your plants even though a week apart may still grow at separate rates. The ones you have in week one could surpass week two it just depends on the plant. I also have a 600 watt for flowering and a high output T5 for veg. I'm thinking of investing in a light mover for perfect even coverage over the plants. I suggest this for you also since you will have about the same amount of plants I do. I noticed the plants I have placed under the edges of my reflector tend to bend toward the actual bulb, and the light mover shall resolve that issue, or like someone stated earlier get a good reflector.

You'll do 8 plants under 600w pretty good, no way I'd do it with only 400w. I assume you're using soil and not hydro so you don't have to feed the last couple weeks?

I just 1/4 turn my plants a couple times/day to keep coverage even, I couldn't imagine a light mover in my already too crowded tent

Did this ever work out? Im thinking of a 600w 4x4 with 16 plant sog 2 for every week and 4x2 with vegers
