So I'm curious how many times you crop, weekly, monthly, or? I know a lot of people start all at once and then its all done at the same time, or like one of my buddy's he crops out weekly which is pretty smart because It seems like a lot less work as you don't have to do it all at once and it's good because you get smoke often. I kinda wish I could get rid of vegging and just flower all the time, or have someone else veg for me, Because if you could crop out 6 times a year if you could flower all the time or more often depending how you set it up..

I just went through changing up my croping cycles. I was on a every 2-3 week harvest 2-4 plants. I run 12 plants under 3400 watts at a time. But you never have any down time in your room to do maintenance and upgrades. So I let my room finish out even turned off 2 of the 3 1000 watt lights to fisnish the last 2 plants. Going to be throwing in 10 monsters every 60-70 days or when ever the entire room is harvested. This gives me lots of time to veg my plants and get them to where they need to be to pull 6-10 ounces a plant. After every harvest now I will be pulling the hoods down and cleaning them as well as cleaning the entire flower room top to bottom. With continuous cycles you cant really tear the room down and clean like that. Plus now I can keep track of how much exactly it costs me to grow per ounce. Right now I am at about 30-40 dollars an ounce from my calculations including base soil for veg, supersoil for flower, electricity in veg and flower.

Problem with that is you can't do it legally round these parts. that's over the max of 15 oz, I'm at the tippy top of my limits most of the time weight wise plant wise I'm not even close. You can't even harvest 2 plants if you're serious about your size, not legally at least. I give myself almsot a week before I fill the space and I move them every few weeks so it's cut, harvest and clean that section under the HPS, move the MH flowering ones over to the clean spot and clean that spot them move some from veg. pot the clones in veg. take about a week and it is tedious but it's working. I clean the glass and hoods and stuff at the same time.

Actually you can, you can have whatever it takes to keep an uninterrupted supply to your patients. It's in the law. Especially for someone who isnt perpetual like me, I'll be over at harvest but between my usage and my patients I will need every bit of it to get through the 4-5 months before I harvest again.

Now if you're pulling 2lbs every few weeks you might have some splainin to do.

I really don't care about having all that weight at one time. I have great hiding spots and I have my patients take it out of my hands as soon as it is dry. Plus I have patients that blow through 2.5 ounces in a week!

As long as it' not cured/dried it's not considered in your weight limit, so you can have as much as you want.

Dude you really need to quit giving out such poor information. Different LEO will weight it differently. Your opinion of cured is not theirs.

Ryan, you also recently said you can have help, an "assistant", in your garden legally. I don't object to the idea, however that is also misinformation.

Every 8 weeks. First time growing with a dedicated mother plant, soooo much better. I'm able to take 18-20 clones and pick the best 9, no runty clones anymore!.

i guarantee you that if you had 5lb's and the cops showed up and your like im not over my limit these are still "curing" only this 15 oz's is dry and ready if they pull the curing stuff out and feel that its dry enough to smoke it they're not gonna give a shit about "curing" cops dont know meaning of why you cure the bud (well they may know the meaning but if its dry to them which is probably anything that is dry to the touch such as curing buds

Is there a quick link that describes the # of plants, as well as harvested materials you can have in MI?

Best thing I've found is run your plants in six, three week cycles. You've said you can have 72 plants so I would plant 12 fem seeds wait three weeks plant 12 more and wait three more weeks and plant 12 more. At the end of that three weeks take clones of the first 12 and put them in flower. Repeat this cycle and after 18 weeks of planting first seed a your harvesting every three weeks. Depending on growing style you could pump out 3-6 oz per plant, so that's 36-72 ounces every three weeks. You could also do this same set up but every week using four plants in rotation instead of 12 in three week rotations.
