I've been running a 2 week perpetual grow for over 25 years now. I have 3, 14' x 20' rooms. The first room is for my supplies. And for my equipment and batteries for my solar system. The second room is for 4 mothers and 8, 23 site aero cloners. I use T12 fluorescent lights over the mothers and the cloners. So I can run this whole room with my solar system. The third room is the flower room. I grow with aeroponics. I built 4 aero systems. Each system has 2, 23 site grow chambers with 1 reservoir. Each system measures 3'x3', so I can easily have all 4 systems running at the same time in this room. So in each system I've got 46 plants in roughly a 9 s/ft area. Each grow site is like a inch and a quarter away from each other. This is how I've run my 2 week perpetual grow for over 25 years. I'll take 46 clones off of 1 mother. And fill up 2 cloners. In 5 days I start seeing roots. In 10 days they all have roots. I keep them in the cloners for 17 days to establish a good root system. The clones are about six inchs tall at this stage. After 17 days the clones get transferred into the first aero system, straight into 12/12. No veg time. I have found that there really isn't any reason to veg these clones, once they have established a good root system. Really what I do is use the first 2 week stretch in 12/12 as my veg time. Like I said my plants are about 6 " tall when I put them into 12/12. Within the first 2 weeks they get to two and a half to three and a half feet tall depending on the strain. I use 1, 3x3 led light over each system. So I have diodes over every plant. Now that I have the first system in 12/12. In 2 weeks I start the second system. Then 2 weeks later the third system. Then 2 weeks later the fourth system. Now I've got 184 plants in 4 different systems. All in different stages of growth in one room. So now 2 weeks after I started the fourth system. I harvest the first system. And start all over again. Growing this way, I basically concentrate on the main tops of every plant. By harvest time these main tops are anywhere from 25 to 45 grams each depending on the strain. So every 2 weeks when I harvest, I get 46 main tops. That are most the time at least 28 Gs each. I originally tried to do a perpetual in soil. But it was to much work. And to time consuming. And took up a lot of room. And I had to use almost 5 times more lights. Which in turn cost me a lot more money. For a lot smaller yield. It didn't even pay for itself in soil. Anyway it's a huge amount of work. Because I do everything myself. But at 65 years old, what else do I have to do. Besides getting into trouble. LMFAO 🤣😆🤣😆. Good luck everybody with your grows. And take care.
New to growing. I decided to do this to keep things simple, small and to help me learn through the process of trial and error. I put a new plant in my flower tent every 3-4 week. Meaning I have something to harvest every 2-3 weeks. I don't have large harvest by any stretch of the imagination. But it's fun and I am learning with every plant. Good Times!
Start experimenting with a little longer veg cycle and use some low stress training by bending it over and getting more tops. While the next generation is starting.🖖
Perpetual conveyor grower. I run a 4x4 for flower, a 5x5 for veg & mother plants, and a 3x3 for cloning and drying. Almost everything is coco DTW except the turbo cloner and the seed starting dome.
This guys got the best voice. He right about about the 4 separate areas at once and being able to check the seedlings or clones, then the veg tent, the flower tent, and oh by the way check out what I’m drying. So fun.
I think this channel is criminally underrated because you don’t give all of the general semantics that everyone says on their channel, you give insight that only a grower would experience to know. All of these channels make a whole video of stuff we already know 😂 but y’all give us the good stuff. A huge part to that is the man asking the questions. Love it y’all. Thank you
I grow with 2- 4'x4' hydro tables with 1- 600w HPS/table and I harvest every month. Both are flower tables staggered a month apart. I only have a clone dome in a closet with florescent lights and have no need for mothers or veg room. I take my clones straight from dome to flower. When the clones are 1 month old I cut the tops off for new clones leaving 2 sets of leaves (soon to be 4, 12-18" shoots) and then they go straight to flower room. I pull between 2-6lbs per table depending on strains. I only use 8 week strains. I call it the infinity grow because after your initial table of clones or usually the 2nd table if you start from regular seeds, you will have everything you need to continously harvest weed monthly and maximize your grow space with all flowers, no space wasted on veg. I have been doing it this way for over 25yrs. I first started with dirt/soiless in buckets for my first 4 or 5 years but then I tried hydroponics and never looked back. I could get 4 harvests/year/light with dirt or 6 bigger harvests/year /light with hydro! It's not even close when compared side by side, more bud with less leaves and almost no stock/stem and it's much cleaner with less to get rid of compared to the buckets of dirt that you have to get rid of and then refill. All I have to get rid of is a bunch of 4" rockwool cubes that I can easily throw in the garbage and they are cheap about $0.25/cube. It can all be done for the same price or less than dirt, depending on what you use for fertilizers. The other nice thing about hydro is that it is all automatic, the only manual part of growing is changing of the water and mixing the nutrients every 4 or 5 days, making clones and of course the best part, harvesting!
We got to give some more credit to the dude asking the questions it makes the channel much better bro hard to find the right person for that who's the mystery dude behind the scenes? Lol
I have exact tent mentioned, I do seasonal perpetual grow and utilize the outdoor season near me and cut half tent down to clone/veg when outdoor bloom begins. I also have seasonal issues with spider mites that I can not get rid of but they stay to themselves away from flower section for most part. Have had a clone run 2 plus years on a bag seed I found that stood out, very colorful finish with a 10-13 week mature for my liking. Gonna have to get seriously on my indoor perpetual, I found some rumored kc mango that I want to keep alive if it produces desired results.
The beauty of Autoflowers you can pop a new seed every 4 or 5 weeks. Works good, as I can only have 4 in flower at any given time. Usually I can get a harvest of 3-8oz every month.
Yeah i was thinking of doing this but the problem I always thought was, what about the nutrient scheduels on every plant? like if you have 5 or 6 autos in one tent you will have to make 6 diferent nutrient solutions everytime you have to water.
@@joaquinrizzi8659sprout 2-4 plants at the same time then when they’re 5-7 weeks old sprout your next batch, this way you can have 2-4 plants on the same feeding mix & the other 2-4 plants on the same feeding mix + 2 watering cans, one for veg nutes one for bloom nutes
@@joaquinrizzi8659 I use organic amendments in soil, so I amend soil before planting seed then once every 21 days. I just keep a journal and note when each plant is due for top dressing. Way easier than mixing bottled nutes and dealing with the headaches of that process.
@@joseph1845 I have 4 in a 32x32x63 its pretty tight 2 is even kind of tight in it. But you could keep maybe 2 going in the 2x2. Every 35 days pop a seed and about the time you harvest one the other will just be beginning to flower. Then pop another seed after you chop.
Hey Guys great show lot to learn from you,i grow autos since a few years now,i have a 3x3x6 flowertent and beside a 2x2x2 vegtent,harvest once a month,was thinking to go half ,every two weeks sounds even better,keep on doing what you’re doing best 👊
Doing the autoflower perpetual thing, drop a seed or two every month. Tricky part is light distance with different height plants. Tilting lights and stacking shit under pots turns into chaos, but it works👍
Yeah i was thinking of doing this, but the problem I always thought was, what about the nutrient scheduels on every plant?, like if you have 5 or 6 autos in one tent you will have to make 6 diferent nutrient solutions everytime you have to water.
I have a few friends growing basicaly hay and they think it's good. I'm watching every video taking notes and hoping to grow The highest quality cannabis possible with a Co2 Extractor, that makes award winning oils. I vape the oil and it's very clean. Making the oil is very easy but growing high quality cannabis takes skill. Were only allowed 4 plants in Canada unless you have a prescription which is very easy, almost impossible to be rejected. I love your videos learning far more then in school
Awesome advice! I somehow have never grown my own bud. Always buy it. The bud that I buy is not strong in terpenes and black ash (high water content / not cured). If you want to cure your bud really quick: get some desiccant (silica gel beads or molecular sieves 3A). Freeze the bud. Break it up. Quickly throw it in the plastic container with the desiccant. Keep it in there for a while. You'll see the entire thing become super frosty on top with the trichomes bursting and covering the entire plant matter. You get to retain all of your terps, completely white ash after 2 days with silica. Wife won't even smell it. I learned this trick from freezing/thawing sassafras oil to extract safrole. :)
I have one of those 2 in 1 tents from Vivosun and the wall inside was really difficult to get sealed so it didn't leak light. I took out the wall and shelf and use it as a 3x4 and I got 2 more small tents for seedlings and veg.
It’s called twin sisters- two rooms you can also start two different grows all on the same breaker say your limited to power or outlet space you can start two grows. when it comes to 12/12 when one grow 12/12 turns off at a certain time while the other 12/12 turns on when the other turns off now you just made your life easier doing two grows at a time on one breaker.
I have 7 hemorthodyte original jack herers for 6 yrs now! I trim them like topping them style and they keep living! I tried a crazy farmers grow which was stupid with chicken manure 5 yrs ago which burnt them some. After that they took off super huge like 10 1/2 ft outside! I trimmed them and brought them in the house and put 3 rows of 4ft lgth lights. I turn ights on them for 8 hrs a day. They get fed a spurt of 10 10 10 from Agway farmers outfits, some pink natural epsom salts from the hemalayas and a shot of pure molasses non sulfer syrup 1 time a month! I trim the plants every 45 -60 days. Is all i do. The seeds came out of a indian plantation catalog about 12 yrs ago. Cant remember that long too much. Im an avid stoner from back in the 70's. I havnt seen any of the catalogs since. Has anyone heard of any of this b fore??? The plants become a menace for me at times but i dont have the heart to let them go to the sweet cannabis heavens!😯 🤔😐🙂
Yes I been perpetual growing for years as a medical user. We're allowed 6 flowering plants and how ever many veg plants. (I'm not sure) you were spot on. I don't do tents, I use 2×2 and the white plastic. I screw the 2×2 to the floor joists for coners the just staple plastic and you're in business. I made a roll up door out of a piece of pipe the white plastic and ropes. I gotta have some room for my rolling stool to roll around and see everywhere. If the perpetual garden is packed pests spread fast and hide in places you can't see.
We have a Green Architecture combo tent and an A/C Infinity for flower. Honestly, I am not seeing much of a difference between the two. Both are doing what I ask of them. Hold heat, hold moisture 😁 Been almost a year with these. Keep up the awesome info good sir! You always make my grow more efficient 🙏🏼
I do a three plant cycle in a 2x4 with autos. Plant new one every 30 days and harvest one every 30 days. I usually get 2-4 onces a month for personal use depending on which strain I pick. Never move my lights just have a small stand for little ones and leave the big ones on the ground.
I like that idea! I’m going to try that with my 2x4. Haven’t done autoflower before. Couple questions… Do you keep your light cycle at 18/6? Do you find that auto flowers are lower potency? And what strain have you enjoyed growing so far? I did some regular feminized Purple Punch and 5 ozs from the single plant. But it took longer so considering trying autos
i do 3 tents 1 veg 2 flower veg 18/6 . flower 13/11 never had bad happen nice big buds i am pop'n seeds every 6 weeks keep 1 male to make some seeds & keep going keep the best to re-veg out for clones !
I'm lucky I have full run of my basement so half is grow rooms veg/ cloning and equipment storage nutes storage ECT pots all the things we use poles caps and I have a 5 x12 flower chamber and now I've built a drying chamber with a AC infinity fan and controller temp humidity sensor voila! Remote control drying room and I just put a decked out 4x2 AC infinity tent in the man cave so I have something to mess with when I'm hanging out love it Scotty hi c rock on guys!!
Have a mother veg area , a veg area to veg for a few weeks whilst your waiting on a plant to finish , then once a plant comes out add a plant from veg to bloom tent , I like adding every 2 weeks to bloom tent, use 0.80m tent to dry your bud
I currently just started two different grow spaces so I'm always harvesting but I'm running autos so I just wait till 1st room is half done then I start the other room....
Damn dude you just opened my eyes to what my grow space is capable of. Thank you for the excellent information and keeping it super simple ,cause us stoners need it like that lol
I'm still trying to figure out the right schedule for my perpetual grow, but I definitely believe it's the way to go. I grow for myself and to share but not to sell so if I chop a couple plants a month I'm good. So it's a matter of figuring out how many seeds to pop, depending on what they are.
I run perpetual in a 8x4 every 2 weeks add 3 plants every 2 weeks 3 plants come out never stops ,takes some time to get to the constant but you'll always have a variety,I do have a separate veg room,been doin this the last 4 years
I'm thinking of switching to auto's so I can keep using just the one tent and have them in different stages, like every 2 weeks a harvest would only need 6 plants, of those 6 just 2-3 are big at any given time
I keep busy by having a seed germination room,,clone room,,veg room and flower room I keep it like an assembly line lol always grow always harvest,,I got family and lot's of friends to help out lol
I have like five strains that I’ve been doing this with for a long time. I keep the dome and the red solo cups and up to a 1 gallon plant in one area under a nice powerful LED. Then I have a 5 x 5 with an ROIE 680 from growers choice For budding. The problem I ran into with perpetual harvest ones I couldn’t grow the veg plants big enough to my liking to put them into flower by the time I needed to. I guess if you go with smaller plants, you can do this, but I want a plant that’s like over 2 feet tall to star flowering. Does this make sense. Bigger plants bigger harvest.
I have been usingi 1 of my three small tents for drying and it's definitely holding me up from flipping things around...I'm new 😄...so I think a small 4th tent would be the best thing for me to do...step-by-step...thx Scotty and all
Autos are cool for a side project or tent but imo I love how forgiving photos are.. you mess up on an auto and it really hurts the harvest. Unless you are like Mr Canuck who runs the absolute shit out of autos. Plus photos are way chonkier and much bigger harvest in my experience ❤️
I fucking LOVE AC Infinity products i started running their inline fans a few years back and wow i love loveee the low power draw and how quiet yet powerful they are! Everything made with quality for sure.
My girl set my timer and instead of my plant coming on at 4am it went off. It was disrupted because it should have went off at 10. Will that flawed six hours ruin my cycle when my plants are still around six weeks?
You don't need multiple tents for a perpetual grow, I got a perpetual grown just out of ONE 2 x 4, always set at 12/12.. I realized that it's just like the growing condition conditions near the equator where it was said that the light cycle is 12/12 year round, naturally. So I found out all kinds of discoveries constantly growing plants from seed to harvest in a 12/12 cycle
What do you mean? you start a 12hours on, 12hours off cycle from seed-vegetation-flower-harvest? for a photoperiod seed? If I understood correctly, what happen when you did that?
@Trollsonn The photoperiod plant thrives and does fine, it naturally veg.s for 3 to 4 weeks under the 12 on, 12 off cycle, then it starts flowering. I find it better to plant the seedling directly in it's final pot after germination to ensure that there's no slowing down in growth, from transplanting. I had plants grow all sizes in that cycle, even as tall as 4-4 1/2 feet in just a 1 gal. pot, grown organically.
@ScottyReal420 Yeah, Scotty, it's very interesting finding out different secrets about, the plant. I even recently re-harvested a plant that I chopped and I guess there was the tiniest little larf sprout, that had been left on the stump, so I decided to experiment and leave it, in my tent like that. After taking care of it for a month or so, it started doing a rev-veg bud growth, but instead of forming veg branches, it formed a little dense bud branches, with no inter nodal spacing, until it formed a little bush. It look cool and weird, but I scored another little harvest out of that, I have a picture of it. It had a very unique terpene profile too, excellent entourage effect.
I think it’s always good have 2 tents or 2 grow area’s cause lights are getting so good for producing best pretty plants but them lights are really getting more aimed at the bloom spectrum so a light more veg spectrum smaller light also cause doesn’t take as much par u could save little money on electricity. Then move plants ready for bloom under big fancy spectrum for bloom. Unless u get new light let’s you dial the spectrum more needed at the time.
Used to take clones from my veging plants just before putting them into flower exactly like you said. Eventually I went with a mother plant setup, man, what one seed can produce 🤣
I grow out side by time it gets to fall Ive got enough till next growing season ive got 8 plants going right now and in july ill start second group Ill have more than enough to last me
Just watched your D.L.i. episode. I would love to see you run 55 DLI in veg and have results. 600 ppfd is really the cap in veg. Also anything over 1000ppfd needs around 1200ppm of suplemental co2 in flower. The plant can handle well over 2000 ppfd in flower as long as the nutrition and co2 are High enough. Bruce bugbee shows they have ran cannabis plants over 2000 ppfd at canopy. I would love to see info you got this from.
You could also teach people how to simply regenerate a photo plant. You can do it twice and already have a full root system the regrow fast with a 24hour blast.
Monster cropping is not for the faint of heart, before learning how to reveg, I feel a novice should learn as much as they can about training, topping, and the use of a trellis. Without control, it takes forever and you can end up with a bush that will explode into a huge mess of fragmented bugs. Great for saving genetics when you forget to make a mom or clone though.
@@ScottyReal420 i love popping beans. its so much fun to see what it develops into...and honestly i only make clones for outdoor...when i want to run some photos indoor i just pop however many i want to grow and let them rip. Theres so much variety i want to try it all.
1st time grower, have 1 in flower rn, 1 clone ready for flower, 2 clones about halfway through veg, and just popped a auto seed of forbidden runtz from 42 fast buds. I'm trying to see if this auto will catch up with the 2 in veg. 🤞
Is it necessary to control the environment for the right side of a 2in1 tent seperately for the clones and vegetation? Or it’s fine to just control the whole 2in1 tent as one environment? If so, what humidity/temp etc should I aim for, so the left and right side can thrive.
What growing the buds when they start to Bloom? when they start to Bloom cut off from the stem dip it in rootpowder and put it in a pot and then you just growing the bud on its own. What's the results like and what time would that take to mature? And you can just keep picking the bud and let it regrow
Lots of plants 3 rooms . One 24 hour one night shift one day shift ! As soon as they root right to 12/12 no green time one room every month .. two months or a bit less .
Only problem is the difference between the stadium of the flower and their actual humidity In the end of flower you must have 15-20% less then the beginning of the flower ! What’s your opinion how to fix that ?
I wish the other guy would’ve let Scotty talk about perpetual grow with one tent..he kept interrupting & going back to two tents and I don’t have the space for two tents or a combo tent…GO BACK😅
Thank you for the explanation. My question is, with the exact method you described, if I used the humidity dome from ac infinity with the lighting embedded on top of the dome for clones, would I still be able to dry above the dome on the top right of a 2in1 tent without needing a second tent? Basically I can only get 1 tent so I want to be able to keep the perpetual process going and being able to dry in the same 2in1 tent.
Does anyone know how to harvest every week 100% guaranteed Do you have to throw the vegged plants into the flower room once every week and how many lights and tents needed Thanks in advance
you would have to put one in to take one out and this would require a good size grow and would have to be a plant you have grown and know the timing of.
@@ScottyReal420 Thanks for the reply, you guys helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. I wasn't overwatering after all, it was way too much light. Now, oh my God... they are busting loose now that I (hope) I got the lights more where they need em. And I'm seeing the little hints of white fuzzies coming out like.. everywhere lol. So, I'm pretty sure all girls! lol. It's my first time, y'all. **whew**. Kinda scary, kinda scary. I mean it's a lot of money to sink into something, only to discover you can't do it and make your own herbal meds, salves, etc at home. BUT, I still can't believe that time I took some rosin off a Pineapple Express bud, smeared it onto a cut, then licked it. Then that shit healed like wolverine. THE ROSIN IS LIKE A NATURAL ANTI BIOTIC.... I just can't get over how awesome this plant is. And how freaking adorable they are too, jeez. 🌴💗
The only thing that has stopped me doing perpetual harvests in spider mites. After harvesting when I have no plants for a few weeks I get a chance to clean between runs. When I was doing perpetual I got spider mites in my veg tent and had to shut down the grow for several months. I want to get back into perpetual, but the spider mites scare me
@@ScottyReal420 love your content bro , I was on TH-cam 11 years ago learning all this and uploading vids but got paranoid and stopped as I’m in the uk , , learnt what I need to no, we have lots in common 😎
Keep up the great content. Cheers from Germany where it's finally legal to have 3 plants.
Hell Year Congratulations! Growers Love.
I've been running a 2 week perpetual grow for over 25 years now.
I have 3, 14' x 20' rooms. The first room is for my supplies. And for my equipment and batteries for my solar system.
The second room is for 4 mothers and 8, 23 site aero cloners.
I use T12 fluorescent lights over the mothers and the cloners. So I can run this whole room with my solar system.
The third room is the flower room.
I grow with aeroponics.
I built 4 aero systems.
Each system has 2, 23 site grow chambers with 1 reservoir.
Each system measures 3'x3', so I can easily have all 4 systems running at the same time in this room.
So in each system I've got 46 plants in roughly a 9 s/ft area. Each grow site is like a inch and a quarter away from each other.
This is how I've run my 2 week perpetual grow for over 25 years.
I'll take 46 clones off of 1 mother. And fill up 2 cloners. In 5 days I start seeing roots. In 10 days they all have roots. I keep them in the cloners for 17 days to establish a good root system.
The clones are about six inchs tall at this stage.
After 17 days the clones get transferred into the first aero system, straight into 12/12. No veg time. I have found that there really isn't any reason to veg these clones, once they have established a good root system.
Really what I do is use the first 2 week stretch in 12/12 as my veg time.
Like I said my plants are about 6 " tall when I put them into 12/12.
Within the first 2 weeks they get to two and a half to three and a half feet tall depending on the strain.
I use 1, 3x3 led light over each system. So I have diodes over every plant.
Now that I have the first system in 12/12.
In 2 weeks I start the second system. Then 2 weeks later the third system. Then 2 weeks later the fourth system.
Now I've got 184 plants in 4 different systems.
All in different stages of growth in one room.
So now 2 weeks after I started the fourth system. I harvest the first system. And start all over again.
Growing this way, I basically concentrate on the main tops of every plant. By harvest time these main tops are anywhere from 25 to 45 grams each depending on the strain.
So every 2 weeks when I harvest, I get 46 main tops. That are most the time at least 28 Gs each.
I originally tried to do a perpetual in soil.
But it was to much work. And to time consuming. And took up a lot of room. And I had to use almost 5 times more lights.
Which in turn cost me a lot more money.
For a lot smaller yield.
It didn't even pay for itself in soil.
Anyway it's a huge amount of work. Because I do everything myself.
But at 65 years old, what else do I have to do.
Besides getting into trouble. LMFAO 🤣😆🤣😆.
Good luck everybody with your grows.
And take care.
Hell Yeah, Thanks for sharing!
That sounds amazing. 1,2kgs every few weeks is crazy tho xD gotta have some good friends

New to growing. I decided to do this to keep things simple, small and to help me learn through the process of trial and error. I put a new plant in my flower tent every 3-4 week. Meaning I have something to harvest every 2-3 weeks. I don't have large harvest by any stretch of the imagination. But it's fun and I am learning with every plant. Good Times!
Good Stuff, Having fun is an important part of growing!
The start of something great bro, keep it up👏
Baby steps, my man. One step at a time, pretty soon. You'll be running..
This sounds like a good idea. I'm gonna be starting my grow this year too.
Start experimenting with a little longer veg cycle and use some low stress training by bending it over and getting more tops. While the next generation is starting.🖖
I have 2 rooms, one veg one bloom. My bloom has 4 rows of 3. So I harvest 3 every 2 weeks. As a set comes out, a new set goes in.

Scotty, your positive attitude is very infectious. I've always loved growing, and you tend to inspire people.
The beauty of Autoflowers you can pop a new seed every 4 or 5 weeks. Works good, as I can only have 4 in flower at any given time. Usually I can get a harvest of 3-8oz every month.
Yeah i was thinking of doing this but the problem I always thought was, what about the nutrient scheduels on every plant? like if you have 5 or 6 autos in one tent you will have to make 6 diferent nutrient solutions everytime you have to water.
@@joaquinrizzi8659sprout 2-4 plants at the same time then when they’re 5-7 weeks old sprout your next batch, this way you can have 2-4 plants on the same feeding mix & the other 2-4 plants on the same feeding mix + 2 watering cans, one for veg nutes one for bloom nutes
@@joaquinrizzi8659 I use organic amendments in soil, so I amend soil before planting seed then once every 21 days. I just keep a journal and note when each plant is due for top dressing. Way easier than mixing bottled nutes and dealing with the headaches of that process.
Do you think I could do something like this in a small 2x2x6 tent?
@@joseph1845 I have 4 in a 32x32x63 its pretty tight 2 is even kind of tight in it. But you could keep maybe 2 going in the 2x2. Every 35 days pop a seed and about the time you harvest one the other will just be beginning to flower. Then pop another seed after you chop.
Hey Guys great show lot to learn from you,i grow autos since a few years now,i have a 3x3x6 flowertent and beside a 2x2x2 vegtent,harvest once a month,was thinking to go half ,every two weeks sounds even better,keep on doing what you’re doing best 👊
Thanks for sharing!
Doing the autoflower perpetual thing, drop a seed or two every month. Tricky part is light distance with different height plants. Tilting lights and stacking shit under pots turns into chaos, but it works👍
little one's top about the rim height of flowering one?

@@joaquinrizzi8659 cause you are a chem feeder
@@joaquinrizzi8659That would be confusing.. Maybe easier doing organic? Have what you need in the soil already? Just thinking out loud.
That’s why I be using the guy in the video’s “grow dots”.
Genetic Variation is the term you were looking for.
For Repeatability - use clones.
For Variation use seeds.
I have a few friends growing basicaly hay and they think it's good. I'm watching every video taking notes and hoping to grow The highest quality cannabis possible with a Co2 Extractor, that makes award winning oils. I vape the oil and it's very clean. Making the oil is very easy but growing high quality cannabis takes skill. Were only allowed 4 plants in Canada unless you have a prescription which is very easy, almost impossible to be rejected. I love your videos learning far more then in school
Awesome advice! I somehow have never grown my own bud. Always buy it. The bud that I buy is not strong in terpenes and black ash (high water content / not cured).
If you want to cure your bud really quick: get some desiccant (silica gel beads or molecular sieves 3A).
Freeze the bud.
Break it up.
Quickly throw it in the plastic container with the desiccant.
Keep it in there for a while. You'll see the entire thing become super frosty on top with the trichomes bursting and covering the entire plant matter. You get to retain all of your terps, completely white ash after 2 days with silica. Wife won't even smell it. I learned this trick from freezing/thawing sassafras oil to extract safrole. :)
I have one of those 2 in 1 tents from Vivosun and the wall inside was really difficult to get sealed so it didn't leak light. I took out the wall and shelf and use it as a 3x4 and I got 2 more small tents for seedlings and veg.
It’s called twin sisters- two rooms you can also start two different grows all on the same breaker say your limited to power or outlet space you can start two grows. when it comes to 12/12 when one grow 12/12 turns off at a certain time while the other 12/12 turns on when the other turns off now you just made your life easier doing two grows at a time on one breaker.
Great Info, I'm shooting for one plant a week on My Perpetual grow, just cut down my First of many on Tuesday .
Hell Yeah , Good Luck!
@@ScottyReal420 Thank you
Niceee, my first will be ready in about a month, finally legal here 🙌
@@coreymcglothlin Its nice to grow are own medicine.
My friends & I call this the 3 ring circus. Remember the bigger the operation the shorter the vacation.
I have 7 hemorthodyte original jack herers for 6 yrs now! I trim them like topping them style and they keep living! I tried a crazy farmers grow which was stupid with chicken manure 5 yrs ago which burnt them some. After that they took off super huge like 10 1/2 ft outside! I trimmed them and brought them in the house and put 3 rows of 4ft lgth lights. I turn ights on them for 8 hrs a day. They get fed a spurt of 10 10 10 from Agway farmers outfits, some pink natural epsom salts from the hemalayas and a shot of pure molasses non sulfer syrup 1 time a month! I trim the plants every 45 -60 days. Is all i do. The seeds came out of a indian plantation catalog about 12 yrs ago. Cant remember that long too much. Im an avid stoner from back in the 70's. I havnt seen any of the catalogs since. Has anyone heard of any of this b fore??? The plants become a menace for me at times but i dont have the heart to let them go to the sweet cannabis heavens!😯 🤔😐🙂
Dont let the lineage go there's not a lot of old school strains left it feels like every popular or good strain leaves every ten years
Yes I been perpetual growing for years as a medical user. We're allowed 6 flowering plants and how ever many veg plants. (I'm not sure) you were spot on. I don't do tents, I use 2×2 and the white plastic. I screw the 2×2 to the floor joists for coners the just staple plastic and you're in business. I made a roll up door out of a piece of pipe the white plastic and ropes. I gotta have some room for my rolling stool to roll around and see everywhere. If the perpetual garden is packed pests spread fast and hide in places you can't see.
Good Stuff!
Love the short videos with a topic. Keep it up.
Thanks! Will do!
I've got 23 in veg, 3 in flower and 7 clones at the moment 😂😂
meee2
ABF= Always Be Flowering
We have a Green Architecture combo tent and an A/C Infinity for flower. Honestly, I am not seeing much of a difference between the two. Both are doing what I ask of them. Hold heat, hold moisture 😁 Been almost a year with these. Keep up the awesome info good sir! You always make my grow more efficient 🙏🏼
Thanks you, We will keep the info coming!
It's like stocking soup cans . Newer one's go to the back old ones move to the front
I do a three plant cycle in a 2x4 with autos. Plant new one every 30 days and harvest one every 30 days. I usually get 2-4 onces a month for personal use depending on which strain I pick. Never move my lights just have a small stand for little ones and leave the big ones on the ground.
I like that idea! I’m going to try that with my 2x4. Haven’t done autoflower before. Couple questions…
Do you keep your light cycle at 18/6?
Do you find that auto flowers are lower potency? And what strain have you enjoyed growing so far?
I did some regular feminized Purple Punch and 5 ozs from the single plant. But it took longer so considering trying autos
i do 3 tents 1 veg 2 flower veg 18/6 . flower 13/11 never had bad happen nice big buds i am pop'n seeds every 6 weeks keep 1 male to make some seeds & keep going keep the best to re-veg out for clones !
I'm lucky I have full run of my basement so half is grow rooms veg/ cloning and equipment storage nutes storage ECT pots all the things we use poles caps and I have a 5 x12 flower chamber and now I've built a drying chamber with a AC infinity fan and controller temp humidity sensor voila! Remote control drying room and I just put a decked out 4x2 AC infinity tent in the man cave so I have something to mess with when I'm hanging out love it Scotty hi c rock on guys!!
Have a mother veg area , a veg area to veg for a few weeks whilst your waiting on a plant to finish , then once a plant comes out add a plant from veg to bloom tent , I like adding every 2 weeks to bloom tent, use 0.80m tent to dry your bud
That's a great idea!
I currently just started two different grow spaces so I'm always harvesting but I'm running autos so I just wait till 1st room is half done then I start the other room....
Autos are great for perpetual.
If you grow auto's and you can do all of it in one tent your light hours never change
Damn dude you just opened my eyes to what my grow space is capable of. Thank you for the excellent information and keeping it super simple ,cause us stoners need it like that lol
Hell yeah, Unlock that potential!
I’m growing first grow. Photo period cookie gelato. It is amazing and your tips help me along the way! Thanks
Wonderful!
👏🏾👏🏾💯 thank youuu !
Our pleasure!
I'm still trying to figure out the right schedule for my perpetual grow, but I definitely believe it's the way to go. I grow for myself and to share but not to sell so if I chop a couple plants a month I'm good. So it's a matter of figuring out how many seeds to pop, depending on what they are.
It takes some figuring out but once you have it down, it is a great way to grow.
I run perpetual in a 8x4 every 2 weeks add 3 plants every 2 weeks 3 plants come out never stops ,takes some time to get to the constant but you'll always have a variety,I do have a separate veg room,been doin this the last 4 years
That is awesome!
I do grow perpetual, thanks
3 tents: one 18/6 for vegetation, 12/12 for bloom, 24/0 automatic
The most important tool in a tightly scheduled perpetual garden is a grow log. 📚 🗓️ 🤔 💭 ✂️ 🌳 🍃 🫙
I'm thinking of switching to auto's so I can keep using just the one tent and have them in different stages, like every 2 weeks a harvest would only need 6 plants, of those 6 just 2-3 are big at any given time
Definitely use the dots and recharge man works awesome thanks.
Hell Yeah!
I keep busy by having a seed germination room,,clone room,,veg room and flower room I keep it like an assembly line lol always grow always harvest,,I got family and lot's of friends to help out lol
Love that!
@@ScottyReal420 I love what you n grambo n dude are doing I've watched a lot of shows and you guys are the best so far on teaching about cannabis
This definitely was a great video I just built a 9 x10 veg room due to the harvest more got a bloom room that's a 5x5 mars hydro FC-E8000
That is awesome!
love from SoCal. Just started my first grow thanks for the tips
Good luck!
I have like five strains that I’ve been doing this with for a long time. I keep the dome and the red solo cups and up to a 1 gallon plant in one area under a nice powerful LED. Then I have a 5 x 5 with an ROIE 680 from growers choice For budding. The problem I ran into with perpetual harvest ones I couldn’t grow the veg plants big enough to my liking to put them into flower by the time I needed to. I guess if you go with smaller plants, you can do this, but I want a plant that’s like over 2 feet tall to star flowering. Does this make sense. Bigger plants bigger harvest.
I have been usingi 1 of my three small tents for drying and it's definitely holding me up from flipping things around...I'm new 😄...so I think a small 4th tent would be the best thing for me to do...step-by-step...thx Scotty and all
The plants aren't the only thing the grows with this hobby. your garden area grows too!
@@ScottyReal420 lol ...true dat! ...I'm diggin' it. The science makes it better...and the expert help
I'm just starting with a 4x9x6.5H combo tent (topogrow) for this purpose. Always wanted to do perpetual/sog.
Or…. Plant a auto every couple weeks
Facts
Autos are cool for a side project or tent but imo I love how forgiving photos are.. you mess up on an auto and it really hurts the harvest. Unless you are like Mr Canuck who runs the absolute shit out of autos.
Plus photos are way chonkier and much bigger harvest in my experience ❤️
Recharge
I fucking LOVE AC Infinity products i started running their inline fans a few years back and wow i love loveee the low power draw and how quiet yet powerful they are! Everything made with quality for sure.
Scotty man you got it not rocket science been doing for decades hahaha
Hell yeah 💪
hey hey coming from Tucson
My girl set my timer and instead of my plant coming on at 4am it went off. It was disrupted because it should have went off at 10. Will that flawed six hours ruin my cycle when my plants are still around six weeks?
You don't need multiple tents for a perpetual grow, I got a perpetual grown just out of ONE 2 x 4, always set at 12/12.. I realized that it's just like the growing condition conditions near the equator where it was said that the light cycle is 12/12 year round, naturally. So I found out all kinds of discoveries constantly growing plants from seed to harvest in a 12/12 cycle
What do you mean? you start a 12hours on, 12hours off cycle from seed-vegetation-flower-harvest? for a photoperiod seed? If I understood correctly, what happen when you did that?
@Trollsonn The photoperiod plant thrives and does fine, it naturally veg.s for 3 to 4 weeks under the 12 on, 12 off cycle, then it starts flowering. I find it better to plant the seedling directly in it's final pot after germination to ensure that there's no slowing down in growth, from transplanting. I had plants grow all sizes in that cycle, even as tall as 4-4 1/2 feet in just a 1 gal. pot, grown organically.
Very interesting. Thanks for Sharing!
@ScottyReal420 Yeah, Scotty, it's very interesting finding out different secrets about, the plant. I even recently re-harvested a plant that I chopped and I guess there was the tiniest little larf sprout, that had been left on the stump, so I decided to experiment and leave it, in my tent like that. After taking care of it for a month or so, it started doing a rev-veg bud growth, but instead of forming veg branches, it formed a little dense bud branches, with no inter nodal spacing, until it formed a little bush. It look cool and weird, but I scored another little harvest out of that, I have a picture of it. It had a very unique terpene profile too, excellent entourage effect.
I think it’s always good have 2 tents or 2 grow area’s cause lights are getting so good for producing best pretty plants but them lights are really getting more aimed at the bloom spectrum so a light more veg spectrum smaller light also cause doesn’t take as much par u could save little money on electricity. Then move plants ready for bloom under big fancy spectrum for bloom. Unless u get new light let’s you dial the spectrum more needed at the time.
I agree!
Used to take clones from my veging plants just before putting them into flower exactly like you said. Eventually I went with a mother plant setup, man, what one seed can produce 🤣
Thanks for sharing
I grow out side by time it gets to fall Ive got enough till next growing season ive got 8 plants going right now and in july ill start second group Ill have more than enough to last me
Great video gents, I love the SOG method
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just watched your D.L.i. episode. I would love to see you run 55 DLI in veg and have results. 600 ppfd is really the cap in veg. Also anything over 1000ppfd needs around 1200ppm of suplemental co2 in flower. The plant can handle well over 2000 ppfd in flower as long as the nutrition and co2 are High enough. Bruce bugbee shows they have ran cannabis plants over 2000 ppfd at canopy. I would love to see info you got this from.
Yep that's how we do!!
AC Infinity killing it!
yes they are!
You could also teach people how to simply regenerate a photo plant. You can do it twice and already have a full root system the regrow fast with a 24hour blast.
Monster cropping is not for the faint of heart, before learning how to reveg, I feel a novice should learn as much as they can about training, topping, and the use of a trellis. Without control, it takes forever and you can end up with a bush that will explode into a huge mess of fragmented bugs. Great for saving genetics when you forget to make a mom or clone though.
i love auto flowers. I have a 4x8 tent for autos and a couple clones and a 4x4 to flower photos. My autos are just as good as my photos
they are great for perpetual harvest too.
@@ScottyReal420 i love popping beans. its so much fun to see what it develops into...and honestly i only make clones for outdoor...when i want to run some photos indoor i just pop however many i want to grow and let them rip. Theres so much variety i want to try it all.
Love your videos thanks bro!
🙌
😮 bestes Zelt ever danke für die Info
Danke fürs zuschauen
1st time grower, have 1 in flower rn, 1 clone ready for flower, 2 clones about halfway through veg, and just popped a auto seed of forbidden runtz from 42 fast buds. I'm trying to see if this auto will catch up with the 2 in veg. 🤞
Two tents work, A little low tent for ya clones and veg and a big flower tent. I flip every 8 weeks.
Great idea
Is it necessary to control the environment for the right side of a 2in1 tent seperately for the clones and vegetation?
Or it’s fine to just control the whole 2in1 tent as one environment? If so, what humidity/temp etc should I aim for, so the left and right side can thrive.
What happens if I try to make a clone from an autoflower? It just dies or what?
Here's a punch line for you ..plants having a fit RECHARGE that shit. Good advice like always
Perpetual is the best!!!
How often do you take your clones and are you keeping one female for clones or you taking clones of the clones
What growing the buds when they start to Bloom? when they start to Bloom cut off from the stem dip it in rootpowder and put it in a pot and then you just growing the bud on its own. What's the results like and what time would that take to mature? And you can just keep picking the bud and let it regrow
No I wouldn't do this loss of weight in Harvest wasted. Time extended due to plant having to make new roots.
Lots of plants 3 rooms . One 24 hour one night shift one day shift ! As soon as they root right to 12/12 no green time one room every month .. two months or a bit less .
So 3 spaces is what you need.
For me it's a lot of work. I've tried it over and over and it just seems like 3 areas. It's just too much.
It does take some work.
I think if I just had a little bit more space. And lived in a legal state, things would be better. An easier
Only problem is the difference between the stadium of the flower and their actual humidity
In the end of flower you must have 15-20% less then the beginning of the flower !
What’s your opinion how to fix that ?
I just keep a steady humidity.
I wish the other guy would’ve let Scotty talk about perpetual grow with one tent..he kept interrupting & going back to two tents and I don’t have the space for two tents or a combo tent…GO BACK😅
Thank you for the explanation. My question is, with the exact method you described, if I used the humidity dome from ac infinity with the lighting embedded on top of the dome for clones, would I still be able to dry above the dome on the top right of a 2in1 tent without needing a second tent? Basically I can only get 1 tent so I want to be able to keep the perpetual process going and being able to dry in the same 2in1 tent.
you could find a way to make it work!
Well done, guys much thx🤙🍻💨
🙌
30 days apart sections always harvest every month.
Does anyone know how to harvest every week 100% guaranteed
Do you have to throw the vegged plants into the flower room once every week and how many lights and tents needed
Thanks in advance
you would have to put one in to take one out and this would require a good size grow and would have to be a plant you have grown and know the timing of.
Like your knowledge bombs Scotty .what all your stuff from Australia
Thank You.
💚
Do LED type lights add to evaporation? You know, just the basic evaporation of water from the soil?
The BTUs they put off might but the LED light should not as far as I know.
@@ScottyReal420 Thanks for the reply, you guys helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. I wasn't overwatering after all, it was way too much light. Now, oh my God... they are busting loose now that I (hope) I got the lights more where they need em. And I'm seeing the little hints of white fuzzies coming out like.. everywhere lol. So, I'm pretty sure all girls! lol. It's my first time, y'all. **whew**. Kinda scary, kinda scary.
I mean it's a lot of money to sink into something, only to discover you can't do it and make your own herbal meds, salves, etc at home. BUT, I still can't believe that time I took some rosin off a Pineapple Express bud, smeared it onto a cut, then licked it. Then that shit healed like wolverine. THE ROSIN IS LIKE A NATURAL ANTI BIOTIC.... I just can't get over how awesome this plant is. And how freaking adorable they are too, jeez. 🌴💗

@@ScottyReal420 awe yeah
I did a 4 veg. grow and my plants are too small and retrded
EDIT: I mean 4 weeks of veg.
The only thing that has stopped me doing perpetual harvests in spider mites. After harvesting when I have no plants for a few weeks I get a chance to clean between runs. When I was doing perpetual I got spider mites in my veg tent and had to shut down the grow for several months. I want to get back into perpetual, but the spider mites scare me
You need a good IPM plan and keep a clean grow to perpetually grow.
@@ScottyReal420 for sure. After that I have gotten pretty crazy about IPM. Do you already have a video about IPM? Appreciate you, Scotty!
