Hey there,

So i've upgraded myself to a bigger grow room. It's about 6ft long 2 ft wide and 7ft high.

I've been juggling what I want to do. First it was SOG, then it was perpetual harvests with 6 medium sized plants, and then the plan turned into just growing 2 or maybe 3 big guys in 3 gallon pots.

I'm looking to maximize yield and harvest as frequently as possible (unfortunately i'm going to have to use it as a source of income for a short while). :bong:

What are your guys opinions on a good grow "ritual" to achieve this?

Thanks :bong:

Depending on what stains you grow you should be able to put 4 or 5 three gallon pots in there. Maybe start with 4 and see how that goes, and then add a 5th one next grow if there's room.
 
Thanks muddy! :stylez rasta smoke:

That would work out great. and then i could just keep them 2 weeks apart or something.
 
Anytime. Do you have another small area where you could set up some CFLs? I have a 250 watt CFL here in the corner of my office. I start my next batch under it about 3 weeks before my others are ready to harvest. That way I can sex them and have the females ready to go under the lights as soon as the others are finished. That way I can turn my flowering areas over every 8 weeks.
 
That would be PERFECT. I've actually got a top shelf in my current grow room. Maybe I could get them vegging up there? It's about 2-3ft height wise.
 
I have been trying to grow 5 plants in a 2'X3'X5' tent for over a year with leds'. Temp is only a problem in July/Aug and 3gal bags is all that will fit. LST is almost impossible and light stress happens often. In spite of all that I have had some success. I will be getting a 2'X4'X7' tent next week or so (Gothom $114) and a 4in in-line duct fan. I will use the small tent to dry and sprout, exhausting the air from the small tent (when drying) to the bigger tent. If all the plants are ready for harvest at the same time (which rarely happens) you dry in the grow space. Since you have 7' to work with I would use 5gal felt grow bags and grow 3 plants.
 
I would also suggest 4 plants as you would have an easier job maintaining 4 rather than 6 main stems and pots. Also you would need to use heavy LST but also you need to thinks bout those lights as that is a small space and maybe you need to install some T5 light Vertically in that grow rooms corners to also give light to side benches and get a better grower/ yield.
