Even with a veg and a bloom room, how do you get 6 crops/year with 4 months of veg? your bloom room will shut down for 2 months waiting for the next run in veg..
If your running perpetual it can be done. You would have plants all staggered about and your timing and strains would have to be on point. Think about it. I dont know about 6 crops a year though. Who in there rite mind vegges indoor at a third of a year anyways?
You guys must be new to the big plant rooms. Having twice as many plants in your veg as your bloom would give you the plants you needed every 2 months ofcourse. As for how big the plants are and as far as the genetics go, do you thinks guys running these rooms would NOT have the correct genetics to fit lol? I pull 24-28 zips per light and I run organics, and no DE lamps. 2 plants per about 9 weeks veg. Not the 2.5-3lb claims but I'm also not within those standards, nor have I ever seen it done personally. Just lots of claims.

Myself i try to harvest 3 out of six lamps every 4.5 to 5 weeks. The other two i run more or less real perpetual. Plants are coming and going all the time under those two. Its a little more work but running my tent with T5's on 18-6 and the flower room on 12-12 all the time gives me ALOT of flexibility. I got 4 35 gallon trash can reservoirs with 1000gph pumps for simple top feed manifolds. An another res for the 6x6 veg tent. This one is hooked to a pump with a watering wand. I feed my tent vegging plants...preflowers...big ones...seedlings and clones with the wand. I also have a 3x3 tent with a 400 hps for quarantines new plants and seeds for test runs and checking for funky clones from other growers. And male plants if its empty for pollen. All new stuff gets ran in this tester tent at least one full rip from veg to flower before being thrown in the lineup. Alot of stuff doesnt make it. Tester tents are an insurance policy against pest or diseased clones from the outside world and bullshit seeds that are duds or hermies that can fuck up my flower room. Test runs are mandatory in my opinion for running perpetual. Hermies pm and mites will set a perpetual back to zero and ruins alot of work....and wasted time. As you can probably tell.....i learned this the hard way.

Iam not new to big plant rooms at all. Lol. Ive ran rooms just about every way you can imagine except for led lamps. Even ran complete houses and small warehouses in Saginaw back in the day. Ive scaled down big time over the years. 8 6/750 watt Gavitas is PLENTY for me and my patients...lol. Nope not new at all son.

Lol thats a big ass veg room. You would start by vegging plants 2 months apart from each other and pray to god nothing gets fucked in flower but its more work then just using more plants and less veg time.

Plant group A on day one. Two months later plant group B. Two more months later move A into bloom space and plant group C, and so on. But I agree that seems like a loooong veg time

I like whole shots of single plants or full canopy shots more than single cola close ups. Domt get me wrong thier cool and all but whole plants give ya a better idea.

Them paras....either running vert bulb or veritzontal are (or were) very underrated in my opinion. Especially running multiples. I remember when Canada blew up back around the early 2000's this was gospel. Eventually cats even got rid of the paras and started running bare open vert. This was the birth of all that.
