I’m growing in a grow tent. I took clones at the end of the vegetative phase and started the flowering phase. From what I understand, the flowering takes at least eight weeks, which means it’ll be at least that long before my grow tent is ready for the new clones. They’ll probably outgrow their seedling tray before then. Does anybody have advice on what to do with them without having to set up a second grow tent?
You either need a separate veg area, or, put them into flower as soon as the clones are rooted.
If you go with the latter, you can prepare a whole bunch of small pots and flower-from-clone the lot of them. Smaller yield per plant, but if you've got a bunch of them it all adds up.
A few years ago, I did something like that. I used 2L Coke bottles spray painted to keep light out. First, I put eight clones into the 2L medium-filled "pots", and put them into flower. A few days later, I started a bunch of new clones in my cloner, and 21 days after I put the first batch into flower, I potted the best eight from the new clones and put them in. Started more clones, three weeks later, third batch went in.
I repeated this cycle for quite a long time. Every three weeks I'd put eight new clones into flower, and harvest the oldest batch. That's 24 plants total, harvesting eight and starting a new eight.
I grabbed a bunch of the eight-bottle carriers from a local store to hold the pots. Worked out perfectly as every batch of eight was in their own carry tray.
