Grow Cab Prepetual?

I was wondering if anyone had a good example of this or any idea what it would take for a small pereptual in 1 or 2 cabs. I MI medical caregiving for myself so I can have 12....I wouldnt think id be able run all 12 at one time. But it would be nice to harvest 1 or 2 plants every 2 or 3 weeks. like i said any thoughts are welcomed

I never done a perpetual. Grow but from my research and other people's suggestions.
Basically have 1 veg cab and 1 flowering cab.

On the veg cab your gonna keep a mother plant which you will be pulling clones off of. And outing in your flower cab.
Do lets say you take 2 clones off of your mother plant in your veg cab and flower them once those are ready to harvest you just keep pulling clones depending on your experience in growing each plant can pull up to 2-4 ounces so your looking at 4-8 ounces every 2 months but their is other ways too were you can pull that much in 4weeks.

Its all about keeping track of time.
You can pull a clone flower it and when you are about 4 weeks from harvest. Pull another clone and flower it too.
Hope this helps man good luck happy growing =D
 
Thanks for the reply. I think i have a pretty good idea as to what to do, unforantly it will have to wait till i move to a bigger place :(

Well are you doing a micro grow?
I'm planning on doing a perpetual grow soon with my micro grows. I'm working on my veg cab right now but my flower box is done.

Jm actually doing my first micro grow.
Check it out you might get some ideas.
Its called pc/ultimate scrog grow yield.

What dimension. Are you planning on workin with.
because with a micro grow you don't really need a big place.
 
right now the main problem im having is with the old lady....she wants something the kid wont notice you know, I have my eyes on a dresser thats about 3 and a half feet tall, 2ish feet wide and 6 feet long. the only problem is that it currently has all my clothes in it and i really have no where else to put em :(

understandable. Well as long as you make it stealth and smell proof youll be fine Are you planning on using cfls or what kind of lights?
like I said my grow is only 1ft tall 10inches deep and 18inches wide.
Stealth smell proof with cfls.

if it's for yourself a PC grow will be fine scrog or sog method will be enough for around 2oz every 2 months but that's depending on how much you smoke.

I'm using a computer tower case (: Working out pretty good for something I spent only $4.04 on which was for reflective mylar blankets. But I'm thinking of setting up another cab for veg as well I'm not sure though yet but I'm going to keep an eye out for a grow journal from you in case you do decide to set up your perpetual setup anytime soon.

And just a quick comment, if you find somewhere else to keep your clothes that dresser sounds PERFECT. Could divide it into 3 sections, small one for seedlings, then two equal sized ones for veg/flower. Would be awesome. Gosh you just made my mind run wild when I read that. Need to find me a dresser LOL
 
once my gfs friend that is staying with us gtfo's I could relocate my clothes to a closet currently housing her shit......then I can finally get back to growing.

Yeah I built my little PC cab out of stuff I had around the house and some good ol' inventors thinking lol. Felt kinda disapointed when I came to this forum and hundreds of people already had my same idea though LOL. But yeah hopefully that broad gets out sooner than later and you can get to it. I've never thought of using one of the long dressers before but it'd be so damn perfect man. I've got some t12s I think I'm going to build my veg chamber with out of the bottom drawers of an old armoir my ol' lady has.
 
nice man. i was think a 2x4 t5 ho for the veg part of mine, and 400w hps for flower, and i already have timers. Really i just need mylar for the inside and some fans. Neither of which should be a problem seeing as my friends own the local grow store :)

Dang your friend owns the grow store? Lucky ass lol never even seen a grow store in my area -.- But yeah that sounds like a nice setup the t5's are great for veg from what i've heard I have a 4 foot 2 bulb t12 fixture i vegged my first attempt under and it loved it but had to rip that one up due to my living situation. Woulda been more disapointed if it was more than a week old lol. And that HPS will be a beast is a smaller space like that dresser.
 
well my gf's friend moved out last night....so im 1 step closer to getting the go ahead. and yea having friends with a grow store is great, the only thing i paid for on my last grow was the lights :) free soil, pots, nutes and best of all an expert to help with anything that might go wrong.

I am in the same track of mind you are, I already have a grow cab that right now grows plants from seeds only, I would love to stop dropping $$ on seeds and im thinking of getting a mother plant going. Does anlybody have an opinion/recomendations on how many times you can clone a single mother?
