Thinking about ditching the trellis increasing my plant count and going a la natural

So this round I’m thinking of taking a new approach, 12 plants 5 gal soil in my 5x5, minimal training, no more months of veg time, and having various plants at different stages, when some finish they get chopped and replaced with ones from the veg tent, thoughts? Effects on yield?just sick of the long veg time to completely fill a trellis canopy

It’s not so much sea of green but it’s sea of green ish, my thought is there will be less larf and timing should be easier as well what do you think?

Here is another option.. procession growing. Say each plant goes an average of 9 or 10 weeks. So if your tent can hold 5 nice plants, add 1 every 2 weeks to flower. At 10 weeks when it's time for plant 6 plant 1 will be finishing and you can swap. Just continue the cycle. Now you can harvest 1 plant every 10 days to 2 weeks basically forever.

That’s what I’m getting at, harvesting plants more often instead of obsessing over yield and filling every square of trellis and doing aggressive defoliation and such, used to think the flower time was the long wait now I’m leaning more towards the fact that vegging takes the more time, I kind of just want a veg tent, and a flower tent, simple put the plants in at a certain high label them with dates and let ‘em go

Use a closet as a veg room, stick a auto in there to pay the bills.

I found even 1 plant every week was more manageable on myself than 10 all at once. 7 or 8 is a good number to run like that, gives your calendar some flex and you a extra week off sometimes. I would run 4 or 5 photos in the tent and 2 or 3 autos in my new veg area
