Well I noticed you are at the same stage of flowering as me. I also noticed this is your third run since I started my first grow, LOL. I will definitely aspire to achieve such a precise rotation once I can get more juice (light).
Before I can spend more money on better equipment I need to show the wife I can produce enough to make it all worthwhile. Now considering how well these plants a doing I think I have a chance. Selling her on the idea that better equipment produce a greater yield is going to be no problem, she is the one with the green thumb, LOL.

I don't tend to take compliments very well sir but I do appreciate it.
Not really any rocket science going on.
I start twice as many plants as I plan to flower.
After removing the now expected males it allows me to veg the left overs for longer then I ever really plan too.
The light in my veg tent is embarrassing but it works for now. I need to get the rotation going even better with bigger fuller plants.

Of course not, but like anything, growing is an acquired skill. Your methods be they regular or experimental are clearly working for you. I have been inspired to try some and the results have been awesome. I have read many other threads as well and gleaned some great tips along the way. By far though, your thread is the most interesting, that is all I am trying to say.

All the seeds I started from a generous fellow member have germed and are in solo hempy cups.
Seeing as how I'm now insanely over my plant count lol as if I have one, now I'm thinking of putting even more outside in a month.

May the best male win and lots of chucks will be shared.

So you germinated 32 seeds, and earlier you mentioned you usually only keep half.
Does that include the male you are going to keep?
Do you pollinate more than one female each round?
Fascinating stuff really. Again I learned something, plant more, grow less. Why waste months on a so so plant when you can just pop more seeds and pick the cream of the crop. Thanks.

Lately it seems as tho I am keeping more n more each round.So you germinated 32 seeds, and earlier you mentioned you usually only keep half.

Last run I flowered 5 plants and this run I'm trying 8 to bump my grams per watt up a lil more.
Unfortunately there's no way to know how many males you end up killing off so I assume at least 50%
So out of the 32 seeds u mentioned, 16 probably more will be male so gone.
Now out of those 16 8 went into my flower cabinet for 45-whatever amount of days they take and the other 8 are in my veg tent.
So since they are vegging and I have to assume 4 are male I popped another big bunch of seed and so on.
Thinking the plants in my cabinet are probably the last plants I'm flowering indoor for awhile.
I've been working on another spot and everything in my tent is going outside by June 1

Cool. There are a lot of wooded areas around me so hopefully I can find a small clearing off the beaten path to start something. I need to keep it close and simple so I have enough energy to maintain it. My back yard has a "cut through" path behind the back fence so I am worried about teens that use it the path spotting my grow, free for the pickin'. I am thinking of building a grow box with lights for the backyard, to keep things hidden from view.

Congrats on the milestone, how is the keyboard looking, LOL.
FWIW this is real life to me. I does not matter if this Internet forum is our meeting place, or the coffee shop, or the golf course. We are all real, ergo this is real life. I spent 3 years with 20,000 posts in the Linspire forum and I would probably still be doing that if it had not turned into vaporware.

The weird part is I have really dialed back my posting and I all but ignore the Canadian patient section now.
For the last year or so I tend to stick to only a couple threads.
I agree in one sense that this is just as good a meeting place but I'm not sure that most folks on here would come across the same way irl.
