My ultimate goal is to never run out of bud. Ever. With that in mind I am planning to upgrade my current setup but not sure what I'm doing. Hoping I can get some advice and basic questions answered. Here's what I got now:
2 plants recently harvested; they have been re-vegged and flowered 3X now in a scrog and the roots are getting awful ropey- they gotta go, but I love these strains (pineapple ex & cotton candy) so I kept the best 2 for making clones; hoping a few of these will eventually be the new mothers...left just a few small branches on each to try & veg out and clone in 24 hrs light. Changed out nutes... they are vegging
4 autos I had laying around just popped- will be ready for the veg tent in a couple weeks
Now I have read autos cannot be cloned...is this correct? I know nothing of autos but I ordered northern lights blue autos because they were on special and didn't realize what I was getting. Any way these 3 and a diesel freebie auto are rooting on the seed mat and will replace the plants in the veg tent after they get cloned. I just want to get rid of them and the clones will take a while to get going plus I need time to build areocloner tubs.
I have one tent with a 400w mh/hps and a small custom double grow box full of cfls..its big enough for a few mothers and a gaggle of clones. Its never been used by me. Up to this point my tent is all I've been using because I have been vegging and flowering out the same 4 plants in a scrog which is not efficient; I keep running out of bud in between harvests so I want to upgrade. Its only to keep the wife and I medicated after working all day...do not need to grow a pound a month just maybe a few zips would do.
I have been using a single res dwc because I am lazy and its so simple-but this is not a way to build an efficient perpetual grow. I thought about a recirculating dwc which would work easily with much of my existing equipment but the amount of water I would use is astounding...the water I need now is kind of ridiculous and such a pain for my situation its not worth it. I am thinking about a system sort of like Stinkbud's aeroponic setup but my small grow cabinets lack the height to fit a spray system like SBs plan's call for. I do have space for another small tent if I absolutely had to but really trying to do this on the diy cheap. I love the speed of hydropnics and do not want to go back to soil growing except to keep mothers alive and happy in the cabs.
Can I root out & veg clones in a small dwc then transfer them to an aero system to flower? is it possible to build an aerosprayer system for a compact space? or are there other options besides going back to soil? would eb & flow be feasible? Of course the new moms will be in either soil or coco...have not decided which yet. Has anyone out there converted to a perpetual flowering type of setup and if so how did you do it?
