That's what I do... cut, clones and flower in a perpetual cycle.

I was just working out how many clones I need, I might chop the whole small hydro table up and make them into clones and fill the room, now that it is kinda legal.

I still have some 400W ballasts and bulbs too. It would actually make it worth running the AC in the end.

There are still so many areas that we operate under the threat of someone seeing our grows and reporting them to the storm troopers...Shortness is a plus in those areas--concealment is easier with low-growing plants. Between me and my neighbor to the east, I let a 16 feet wide stretch of the normal weeds grow without mowing--under the guise of letting it go fallow. These weeds here quickly grow better than head high, so I can grow whichever cannabis type I want on my side of the patch,,,This winter , I will plant a 6 foot trellis of Carolina Jessamine and a row of Southern privet to add to this "shield"...and stealth will keep you free!

I grew like 6 way back when I would be carrying over from veg to flower an it wasn't bad ..but it was indoor and got maybe 14 grams a plant lol..like damn 10 bucks a seed..pray it hatches and be all carful not to piss it off n shit, for that...what's the point. You can easily get a whole one with a clone

If you want short plants, learn to trim and train them into short shrubs from the start. And start them late. Photoperiods aren't gonna hang around for 3 months waiting on your permission to grow. Once again, only of use to the personal grower.

Commercial guys will run autos part of the year, and photos in the in season. some people even split up their farms so not everything ripens at the same time, this way, mold may take some of your early flowers but then as the heat comes in, the rest of a crop is still viable...for example

That was/is my problem too as I have to guerilla grow on public land most of which has hunting. There are some swampy areas thst hunters steer clear of that I have wanted to try "swamp tubes" in but haven't yet cause I'm lazy. @whitebb2727 has had some good luck with autos and has tried the swamp tube technique I think.

edit: @thumper60 on tubes too
