I'm looking for a good outline to produce 3 to 4 lbs. of a few different strains per month. I guess it might be easier to grow just one strain that way they will all Finnish up about the same time line for harvest.

EBB fill and drain double bucket system is what i had in mind to keep it easy and automated. thinking one veg. system and one flower system and a manual clone system.
I currently have 2 1000w lighting systems.
A/C system, heating syst., dehumidifier, and humidifier all can be automated.

I guess I'm looking for a clone to veg. to flower formate to follow as a guideline?

Any and all of your input will be appreciated!!!

3-4lbs is quite a bit in a month but I've seen it done... Every inch of the room was used and had a zip up plastic coated mesh that was light proof for his flower room. He uses more than 2000w lights too but with some cheap cfl or T5's for your clones and light movers like above stated sounds like a plan...

I have rethought the lighting and I have two arias to get it done in, one area is 8x6 and is getting the two 1k lights with adjust a wings and my two 4x6 foot areas are getting two 600's per side. i have also decided to go with a drip system to waste with using 6' rockwool blocks on a drain table. probably going to use Home and Garden nutes, co'2 generator with a closed system and venting when lights are off in the cool nights.

with my space it's prolly more of a two pound space but we'll see looking to get some nice GDP strain or sour dieselmaybe white widow i'll see what i can land at the pharmacy.
sorry about the spelling i've been sampling my latest product tonight!! LOL

Ha ha right on man toke up... But sounds like you got it down... I think I'm gonna try to veg with my 400w MH and flower with HPS was reading up on some shit and the MH are bluer colored spectrum and HPS are more amber colored but I'm gonna give it a shot if it's supposed to help like they say it does... Wouldn't mind seeing your set up when you get it ready tho...

see now two lbs I can see an experienced farmer can get and should be doable with your space. Keep us up to date tho, mayb a grow journal or something. there's always a tweak that someone else can notice that can be a world of difference.

And BFF you should definitely use the MH for veg and HPS for flower you'll notice some nice dense buds the red/yellow spectrum is where you wanna be for makin those flowers!!

Happy Farming!

Sounds like about 9sq meters of total space. So if white widow makes 500grams/sq meter you would get 4500grams or 10lbs. If you use half the space to veg then only 5lbs. Sounds good in theory hope you thumbs green. Good luck.

if he has the space get 2 light movers and it shouldent be to hard

how will a light mover help his yield? stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just tell him to get another light.
and if your talking about light mover for veg im sorry your right. movers work well in veg. not flower.

Yea i would go with 2 of 600 watts cuz it a small space . no don't use rockwool. it hard to flush out the system . use hydro rocks and use house of garden drip clean it will be bomb! seriously .

Well I think I scored!! 12 Hindu Kush 12 Blue Dream 8" tall clones with a hookup through my local hydro store to a warehouse grower locally!! Sweet!! I met the mother and all her flowering siblings, 24 in all. My new babies are under T-5 flor's right now and popping out a new set of leaves every day. nice thick stems. The Blue Dreams are a little pale but I hear thats part of the geno. bye for now!!!

I was going to start them in 5" rock wool and move them to 3-5 gal pots with peralite for root base? or should I go 5" rock wool to 3-5 gal with coco for root base? Trying to be cost effective here and I know it's easier to recycle Hydroton but if coco is cheap enough to start a fresh pot every time than thats what I can do. I see the the big boys root out in 5" rock then transplant into 5 gal pot with coco... Hmm dilemma!!?? got a few weeks to figure it out... Help!!! LOL

hate to rain on your parade but getting those kind of results is goin to take alot more power then just 2 600 watts hahahaha
lets think about this for a min
does this guy have experience on any strain in specific secondly to be able to achieve 3 - 4 lbs a month your goin to need like 6 flowering rooms 3 veg rooms 1 cloneing room dude most strains are min 45 to 70 days do the math

now back to earth now your talkin like a few differnt stains get a grip in order to do anykind of perputual you need 1 strain cloneing litterally non stop

Reality : its goin to take you a min 5 months just to get your mothers and cloneing in check

lets look at your strains hindukush under perfect conditions and hardly ever done is 45 - 50 days more like 60 65 days
blue dream is 60 + days same thing so your a month apart but remember once there done you got some coming behind it and so on and so on but you seem to forget you need min 3 - 5 weeks veg time so that sets you back as well you kinda understand
dude lets be realistic here
Grow your thing and get better time is a factor speed is but if you think your goin to chop sooner and trust me if this is for sales purpose your only goin to hang your self in the end and they wont want it anymore

Trust me i know prob one of the only few that clones over 10,000 a year + i do Sog grows over 16,000 watts 700 plants in all stages
and at times its a cluster fuk
But i am lucky i own a botanic garden center an have over 140 yards of pre mixed soil on hand and the supplies to do this

try buying soil in the middle of winter at your local place soon people think whats up with that :))

Dr. Thank you for the reality check !! My head is spinning over this and the fact I have a press for time, so I'm going to take a step back and go this the right way.
1. I have two known good lineage strains.
2. I have a reasonable space to grow in.
3. I have enough equipment to get it started.
4. I have grown several different strains with good results but limited space. (7' tall 8month Cheese = 1.5 lbs) experimental. LOL
5. I have to get back to work and will Finnish this up later...lol
