Does anyone have separate bloom tents/lights for different bloom phases (e.g., 3 groups: GH phases 1-3, phases 4-6, ripening phases 7 & 8)?

Getting organized. Prepping weeks of stocks in advance takes time, but no precipitates so far. Still need to incorporate dry nutes/supplements ... but not much will change. I can probably use the blender for other things now, haha.

tag me when you start a journal. i'm curious to see how you incorporate all your questions and ideas into a grow.

Journal, yeah. Since I'm running perpetual bloom, once it's basically how I want it (including strains/plants per strain), I'd prefer to take a lot of pics, organize them, and then present it all at once, highlighting points beginning to end, annotating it like a journal. There are always going to be plants starting and finishing, it just takes a while before you've got something worth looking at. You know?

Some bands release albums once a year, once a decade ... or, like Detroit's Death, release ~35 years after recording. It's not all good, not trying waste too much of your time.

still need to exclude a strain or two ... and eventually acquire one or two more (regular seeds, Dark Horse/Jungle Boys, that'll have to wait), but this is the arrangement I'm currently cloning toward. Each strain's plant structure/growth pattern was considered in where I place them in the tents. Initially, I raise plants on objects (e.g., an upside-down bucket) as needed to avoid stretching/foxtailing (e.g., 5 Alive's a bit finicky).

Running genetic diversity in perpetual bloom (~5-6 strains, generally either on a shelf or taller), I'm realizing the importance of having sufficient space for mature veg plants. Veg is where a lot of the action is. I will never achieve the 2 to 3 lbs/mo. I'm hoping for without nailing down what's "mature" for each strain, and whether that or bigger will do well in the space(s) I've designated for each strain, including, getting the branch and tip # right for the best crop. Sacrificing some yield for quality, otherwise I'd just run a strain I discontinued (or an auto) if it were all about yield.

I think there's a question in there. I guess, for starters, if you're running perpetual bloom with photos and aiming for 2+ lbs/month (avg.), what's your plant count and proportion of veg to blooming plants? For example, if you want to bloom 9 plants of a particular strain in one tent, how many clones would you have on deck and what would that look like (x young clones, y immature clones, z mature clones)? One of the things I like about perpetual bloom is I can have 3 of the 9 begin bloom, 3 be midway through, and 3 finishing, so I don't have to have 9 mature plants of a particular strain ready at once even though there are 9 flowering at the same time. [Getting too specific about strains in this question might not be helpful/necessary, though obviously there's a disparity in yield/plant size per strain.]

Wow, bgh is a friendly hydro supply store. And they're helpful. Got a card from Fluence last year, but no chocolates. Happy holidays, growers.
