How many plants can I fit into a square meter?

this is what’s called the SOG method right?
6-8 inches is really short for a plant but considering they blossom 20G-ish is pretty impressive.. how many clones can you get from a Mother Plant?
I understand cutting the letting it grow again,but how does the process work in details?

Also,what medium do you use for the clones?

Yep this is SOG style growing. You can get many clones off a mother plant at a time, it all depends how big the mother plant was. I kept mine small because I actually ran my garden on a perpetual cycle so I cycled plants in and out every 2-3 weeks. So ever 2 weeks I’d be taking 15-20 clones from a mother plant or some times two if I’d had multiple varietals growing. Typically the mother plants were chopped back pretty heavily at that point, but would usually be ready to be cloned again in another 2 weeks. I did usually keep an extra mother plant to cover myself incase of an issue.

I’ve used a few different cloning mediums. Usually I used rapid rooter plugs because they were easy to get where I lived and worked really well.

I am trying 4 this run, have done only 2 for the past 3 grows. Things are going to be tight but I hope manageable.
keep in mind some guys only put 1 in a square meter and just veg longer to fill out the space

I used to run 40-45 plants at a time under a single 1k hps in a 4x4 flood tray. I used clones that only got about 2 weeks of veg time so they were 6-8 inches tall going into flower. Averaged 20ish grams per plant with mixed genetic runs and 30ish g/per plant with mono crops of good strains.

So typically a full cycle turn around would be around 12-14 weeks including the veg time. And I’d yield 800-1200 premium dried grams(no popcorn buds) depending on strain.

So you grew 75 grams per square foot??

That's impressive to the point of difficult to believe

Got any pics of that tent just before harvest?

does vegging for longer keep them growing?thus making them more fruitful at harvest?

you need to do some basic online research before you come here asking all these questions.

now that I do,let’s continue with the questions
theory & practice are two different things:
reading from the internet & basing on your experiences are both helpful
