You can keep the mom's as long as you want. And yes, you can flower them whenever you want and they will be yield monsters, but with your height restrictions it will be a disaster unless you are constantly pruning to limit overall height on them.
oh ya, i'm going to be pruning the moms, I will be growing them out to about 24" inches and bushy hopefully and then eventually i'll have to do some sort of training with it when i do flower it
Not that i am aware of
@Papi Chingon do you think he even needs a veg tent? Man I would prob do clones in a closet and use both tents to flower lol. His height restrictions wont allow to veg for long anyways. He could veg in the flower room for a week or auto flower using SCROG in a small hydro setup. You could fit more in that way. Just thinking a veg tent really isn't necessary. It's nice to keep moms though. But if your just starting to grow indoors keeping up on mom's/veg tent and the flower tent is a lot. 2 flower tents. Sorry lol. Had a few dabs and over thinking this.
I don't think he needs tents at all, but that is the setup he chose to isolate odor and light.
It's all good
How many are you planning to do?
This is medical
I've been reading about the sea of grass technique using the netting and I'm going to try that with pinching some tops the 1st grow
Ya forsure, think I'm going to be taking video but will also be keeping a note and log book
All part of the fun lol
In traditional sog you take as many clones as fit into your designated area, don't top, and don't veg very long. You are after the cola only. Since you are concerned with plant count, if you wanted to maximize yield per plant, you would likely be going with scrog, or screen of green. With this method and one light, it doesn't make too much sense though. Your better bet would be pinching tops, fimming, and lst, of you are looking to have 8 plants per harvest. 1 light would really have 8 packed in pretty tight, but you are staggering your grow, so that throws me off since I wouldn't really know how to work that. What I can say is you will need an elevated space for the new plants so the aren't stretching toward the light. You could use upside down home Depot buckets, but eventually that will lead to a plant or two getting knocked over.
About elevation ya I've thought of this and I'm going to get a hydrolic lift I can put on 1 side of the tents for raising and lowerng
In veg you will want to limit stretch just like in flowering. You can veg under the t5 you are using for cloning until they outgrow that space.
For cloning use a razor blade, not clippers. You want a sharp and clean cut. Before using the blade clean it thoroughly with iso alcohol, then wipe it again with iso between each cut as well. I like to scrape one side of each cutting (the skin) with the razor blade before dipping it in cloning gel to get more surface area for roots to develop. Scrape, removing the skin on one side (only what will go into your plugs) about a half inch up/down from the actual cut. I then cut the larger fan leaves in half so the cuttings use more energy on new growth.
Saturday everything gets put up
Nice, thanks
Ya a scalpel was what I was thinking until he brought in the tiny clippers but I agree, you' want as clean a cut as possible
They sell good (stainless)surgical scalpels on ebay with 100 blades for $10 delivered. Honestly though, the razor blade is all you need. Far easier to find replacements, way cheaper, and this isn't like precision open heart surgery. The clippers will come in handy for pruning moms and trimming bottom branches during week 3 of flowering though.
