Perpetual grow tips needed

Sorry for a beginner question, im just searching for any advice on how long i should be growing both my veg stage tent and my grow stage tent for myself to pull out a harvest every few months.

I understand different strains mean different grow rates, however if anyone could let me know the times they tend to use for both veg and grow, it would be much appreciated.
Thank you everyone that takes the time to read this, peace

if you have 3 grow spaces you should be able to pull every 8 ish weeks
its best if you can have 1 clone chamber 1 grow/veg tent and 1 flower tent
personally i do 3/4 weeks letting he clone establish roots the let them grow big ish sometimes 4 or 5 weeks then flip to flower for how ever long the plant needs sometimes 8 or 10 weeks
if you can keep a god rotation its more then possible to pull every 8 weeks depending how ripe you want your bud

Ive got a mother tent in my flower room
3 tables.
Take one table worth of clones per month

Approx 1lbper month.
 
For my self im getting clones fron a farm that are about 2-3 weeks so thankfully im able skip the mother tent and cloning tent, just 1 veg tent and 1 flower tent, (continuously 5 plants in each tent).

Projectionfo, any way you can explain a little more on how to get 1 lb a month or so?

Each 2x4 table produces a pound on avg.

3 tables

Plant one table per month, flower at 12 inches . Top when their clones. Trim off the bottom and inside when you flip to 12/12 and then again 21 days in.

Stop using silica after the stretch

Built my own led strip light, gen 2 bridglux strips, 240w actual
32w/sq ft

Plants are one per sq ft

Heres my last run i had all 3 tables going but i had a few issues that run haha, thrips, heat, light burn. 2 tables dried out for a day mid flower.

It was rought i didnt get my avg lol but
Ive done it twice now
 
Haha not bad though, im going oldschool using black gold dirt as you can see my sour diesel to the very right took a hard beating with an accidental overheating, but the small hindu kush and the 3 blue dreams are going good. In my flower room i have 3 lavender and 2 pgsc plants but there about 5 months old n they look extremely small for that age

Read up on flowering clones and monstercropping. Make your grow simpler and more productive.

I push for 3-4 lb per table with sprayers. Keep moms of my cuts for two runs then start some new ones from the veg before I flip.

Veg 3 weeks
Flower 9 weeks give or take.

Shoot for 4 a year.

I Never ever under any circumstances bring in clones. I either get set back a couple weeks, end up with larf due to the genetics, or have to spray with stuff.
 
Coreywebster- my veg room is about 4×3, my flower room is about 8x4 and only about half the space is taken with flowering plants. Only working off of a 200 watter cfl on veg but ive got a 1000 watt for flower.
Hotrodharley- thank you ill have to study on what in the hell monstercropping is now haha much appreciated,
Nurrgle- thank you for that timeframe man

Don't go with the quick 7/8 week finishers if you want decent smoke. 9 week will open the door to some better strains while 10/11 weeks (from flip) is where you will find the best choices, although that's subjective I guess. 11weeks should be max since you then have a week to try and harvest/dry. If you are in a much bigger space/plant count then you may need to do a 10 week strain to give you 2 weeks for harvest/dry in the same room.

If you are running 10/11 week strains in flower your veg tent will over grow if using cuttings from the prior flowering plants. You can slow cuttings down a lot but it's tricky. Going from seed is more expensive but you can then control when you want them to grow > the veg time. 6-8 weeks from seed will be enough in a typical situation. If not seeds then use a mother plant so you can wait a few weeks longer to take cuttings. Don't buy or use cuttings from anybody else.

I'm small time perpetual, rotational. I pull a plant every two to three weeks. I run a propagation cabinet, small veg tent and a 4 x 4 flower tent along with a small drying tent.
