i aint all the way dailed in. but this is where I’ll end up. The same way i used to do it.
1st get a plant about a foot tall, leaving all the sun leaves intack. cut the longer bottom limbs for clones , i always did twice what i needed. just incase. i would let cuttings root for two weeks, then veg for 2 weeks, then flip for 8 weeks. before i flipped, i would do the same , cut all the limbs off untill they got down to 3/8ths of an inch long, bottoms for clones. the rest was trashed . only the very top of the plant was unmolested. do not top the plant.
i took a rubbermaid roughneck and cut 6 holes in the lid
5" cups dwc and a control bucket.
these arent me or mine. but the outcome is close to mine, just not as big as mine were . 6 plants per tote( 1 always seemed to get choked out, so this time I’m i trying 5 gal. buckets/1 plant . will probably go back to totes and only 5 per tote .
i was averaging 5oz’s a plant.
growing only the main top, perpetual,sea of green. everything on a 2 week cycle. so that bucket was bringing 30+ ounces.
i had 2 buckets going out every 2 weeks, from a 7’ x 14’ building with 2 rooms, now ive got 2 - 12’ x 12’ rooms
