yea man, the thread got big quick!! Thanks dude but I don't think my setup is near perfect yet but it's working for me for the time being.... I have not made any butter yet but i want to soon. I am also gonna buy bubble bags soon to. I have made honey oil last summer but i don't like the IPA deal. i like organics not chemicals.
My rotation never really got all summed up in any one place on the thread... so no time like the present.. I'll explain it backward from harvest to cliping... I feel i can make sense of it better that way.
Every time I take a plant out of the flower box for a harvest, I put a new plant in the flower box. I usually move all the plants around in the flower box so the next one to be harvested is directly under the led in the center. i won't have to worry about this once I get my new light. so back to the new plant... take one out, put one in... I choose the plant that goes in the flower box by simply choosing the biggest one in veg!
A week or two before I put a vegging plant into the flower box, I lollipop her and cut all of her lower branches off. they don't get much light anyway and those tiny buds suck to trim every week! so I cut it all off and let the bud production concentrate on the top buds.
all these branches that I cut off I then use to make clones with. the upside of my method is, I don't have to keep moms and use valuable space to keep a large plants growing all the time...... downside is I take a big risk in losing the strain if the clone doesn't take or the plant dies... let's hope that doesn't happen anytime soon!!! I like to always have three plants at different sizes of each strain vegging at any given time.
I have recently "slimmed" down my strain count to NYPD, wonder woman, and blueberry. I am letting the bubblelicious go and also the AK47, and the lemon lime is not in the rotation anymore. I have two more bubblegum and lemon lime seeds and I have four close friends that always grow the AK. right now I am clearing out some room for new seeds i just ordered this week.
I hope i covered everything... I try to keep it as simple as i can, this way I can't make to many mistakes.
