Lighting Upgrades

[jeff wright]

trying to upgrade to a 3 area perpetual. Also switch from hps to cmh. This is my idea sketched out. Already have a 4.5x4.5 ft tent I'm planning on using for veg. I plan on 8 plants each area rotated every 5-6 weeks. Does this seem like my optimal set up? Or is there a way I can utilize more area. I need to stay under 24 plants. Would like 3+ lbs per month. Seem achievable? Currrently a soil grower but plan on changing to either nft or ebb and flow during upgrades.

I would veg 8 plants every 4 weeks then alternate flower tents for the 6 to 8 weeks flowering. Gets you a steady 8 plants a month cropping. May have to hold 8 in veg if they are late finishers in the flower tent. Then go back to 8 in 4 weeks again. Target weight sounds understated to me.

Target weight is my minimum requirement. What I would like to do is basically what you said however I say 6 week veg just to make sure area is full as my plants don't seem to stretch in flower. Do you think 4 week is truly enough time? (Heavy indica strains)
