Hi man. It doesn't matter. When you do perpetual no-veg you aren't trying to set a record for harvest per cycle. You get a 3/4 to an ounce per plant but they don't take up much room and you can have a lot of them. And the turnaround is much quicker without having to veg, so over the course of a year (trust me on this :D) you will harvest more than if you had grown trees for 6 months. One strain I flower is done in 8 weeks and the yield is modest but the potency is absolutely top.

In regards to the get a harvest every 2 weeks thread which im sure you all know.
I cant see the buds being ready at week 8 with only 2 weeks for roots to develop.

and he states it himself that they continue grow in a veg state for the first 2 weeks of 12/12...

surely those buds arnt half a potent or as big as they should be by 8 weeks?

any thought?

Perhaps the folks here at the 600 could give me some recommended strains to acquire? I'm shopping at the attitude.

yeah i get all that thanks anyway, i was looking into setting one up but worried about them not being as potent. i mean sure i get baked smoking my buds at week 4 flower but if you chop at week 8 when it wont be finished until week ten... surely the THC level will be low? no?

care to elaborate on that strain ? lol
Im thinking of sticking to chronic even though its at least a 9 weeker.

I grow Chronic too and 9 weeks is about right. Mostly I grow White Russian and that takes 10, but it's way more potent than Chronic. You don't have to be locked into an 8 week strain to make the perpetual cycle work, you just stretch the process out a little.

Northern Lights x skunk is the fast one I'm referring to. I'm looking to replace that with a higher yielding skunk. or a cheese.

Took me almost an hour to catch up on this thread, LOL.

I've harvested the 4x8 scrog and have a very disappointing yield of around 12oz. I harvested the JH from the small tent and I think it was somewhere around 1.5oz but don't remember for sure and there's four more plants in the small tent coming down this week sometime that all look to be in the 1.5-2oz range each. I took 13 plants over to flower on Saturday and need to check the tags because I was pretty sure there were only 5 Dog and 5 PH but I know there's only 2 HB so I can't figure out what the other plant would be. Was a little pissed when I went over last night to see signs of mites on them already and am going to bomb the garage with a Pyrethrin based bomb from the hydro shop once the four that are close to harvest are out. I think there will be enough time for everything to be good by the time the others get harvested since there's about 4 weeks left on the hydro plants.

Here's a few Afghan Kush buds

Here's the jars

Ach man, that sucks Dez, I had a disappointing yield from my BX2 cheese, but then I think I was expecting too much based on the 20 seconds of veg it got, lol, then into a screen that it mainly filled out in flower. I think a bit more veg time is required to get them into being able to produce well.
Looks good though. Hope you and the patients enjoy.

Sorry to hear about the yield, Dez, but them's be some tasty lookin' buds! (*I, personally, would be happy with 12-oz, by the way, but don't take that as an insult: you're a better grower by far.. ;-) )
Going to smoke nice when fully cured.
And damn them fuckin' mites!
Tonight is my last night of vegging for my three main plants, so am anticipating unwanted visitors when they start to get aromatic.
Well, I've got my 1-gallon pump sprayer and a jug of neem oil ready as my first line of defense. The mites over here are weak compared to where you're at, and I haven't had to up the ante... yet. :-(
Good luck in your fight!

Yeah at least it all looks like it'll be some fire, right? It all did turn out to be really nice looking bud so I won't complain too much about yield, I'll let the wife do that, and just enjoy the many hours of good times ahead.

Funny thing is 1/2lb of it is already sold so as soon as it's cured pretty well it'll be going to dude's collective. He said to let himn know the next time I have a bunch to trim at one time and he'll come help me trim it in exchange for some free edibles. I think I'll have to take him up on that if I ever try another big run. I'll veg whatever I scrog longer next time for sure and it will be trained into the screen during veg to ensure the screen fills out better. No more scrogs for now though since they take up so much room and I want to get into harvesting every 2-3 weeks.

yeah i was looking at the white russian because i heard it was a good indica with a short flowering time, but looking into it it wasnt that short, seen a couple of grows hitting 12 weeks.
i suppose you could do a perpetual sog with 2 flowering tables but swap every 5 weeks instead of 4.

i hate the fact i can only have 2000watts max makes designing a perpetual grow very annoying.
unless i go with 3-3 week tables with a 600 each. and settle for a 250 for mums and clones, but the growth of the mums would be slow aye.. :s

I just stuck them under the screen at the start of 12/12 and trained them during stretch. A couple plants got chopped at 9 weeks from flip and the others went almost 10.

Thanks for the props.

I have to run, need to repot the seedlings and stuff before noon when the lights turn off for 6 hours.
