Perpetual Perfection…
Posted by Frank_White on January 15, 2025 at 7:16 am3 tents. Seedling/clone(2×4), veg/dry(4×4), and flower tent(5×5). One of them has to be the dry tent. Figured they could go in the veg tent once I harvest the flower. 14-16 days drying, then transplant the seedling/clone tent and move into veg tent. They would have about 45-50 days to veg give or take. Or they could go in the flower tent, but that is obviously my 2nd choice so there’s no delay in the flower room. Is there a better way to accomplish a perpetual grow with 3 tents? I’d love to hear some ideas. Thanks DGC!

Sounds pretty sweet. Wish I had bigger flower area. You might have have room in veg to run an auto as well.

I have a 3-tent setup also but slightly different, I use an AC Infinity clone dome with lights for my seedlings and clones, 2×2 tent for veg, a 4×5 tent for flower and one more 2×2 tent just for drying.

If I have to add a tent, I will but wanted to hear from guys and gals that have alot more experience, and smarts before I do! Thanks for the responses!

Perpetual sounds good on paper but be aware of the commitment required. Most have no idea how much work/time is actually involved.

Thank you @jmystro! You are not kidding about the work! It is a full time job for sure. I ran perpetually for about 2 years, until my wife’s surgery. Just didn’t have the time, but she is doing better so I’m going to get it running again. I appreciate the response, brother!

I know the feeling. My cancer kept me out of the grow for over two years until I was finally able to recover from surgery. Now I’m back on the grind I live for. Proper prior planning is a very large part of perpetual growing that you sound familiar with. More veg space is always needed. I try to at least have as much veg space as flower space. Mother plant replacement and/or seedling schedules need to be in line with flower room plant count and size requirements. Knowing the genetics you’re growing allows for schedules to be and stay on point. It really helps to know way ahead of time how long a plant takes to go through each stage of it’s life cycle in terms of planning and scheduling.

@jmystro I’m really glad to hear you are recovered, and back at it! You are so valuable to this community, and we are really lucky that you are willing to share your knowledge, and experience. It seems the only way to truly nail this stuff, I’m going to have to learn how to clone. Again, thank you for helping anyone willing to put their ego aside, and learn!

I wrote this 10 years ago but the info is still solid.

Do you think plant count changes the usefulness of cloning? Until I get a medical growing license I’m staying within limits the limits of 4.
Personally developing a cloning strategy seems more difficult than a planting strategy with low plant counts. Planting seems like you can rotate grows easier in my mind, with 4 plant count provided they are quick flowering or autos(3 month turnaround) it seems like planting one plant a month would be the easiest way to rotate.
Does this seem realistic to you?

Seeds are lottery tickets. It’s possible to win the lottery. Odds are not in your favor. Connoisseurs are willing to sort through the trash. When and if a grower finds something truly worth keeping from seed. The ability to clone is priceless.
-
I’ve been doing Autos but do have 15 feminized photoperiod seeds to experiment with at a later date.
-
In the future if I do happen to find a unicorn what type of strategy would you consider for cloning? Keeping a mom in veg and running groups of 3 clones in flower?

“especially if you’re a law abiding citizen like J.R. Tokin and clone one cut in a tray all by itself because of some plant count rules.”

Yessssss lol…I’m still laughing ✌️

This is gold @jmystro thank you for sharing this! I’m going to have to read it a few more times for sure. You should have published this!

I have blumats set up for flower, but need to hook them up for the veg tent. It helps alot with the load for sure, but I still end up hand water recharge and other supplements.

I have a 4 tent perpetual set up. I have an AC infinity 2 in 1 , 3×4 that I keep open for veg with no divider. I have 2, 4×4 tents for flower, and a 2×4 tent for dry. I have run this set up for about 2 years, it definitely jacks the electric bill up, but I like that I am always doing something in the garden.
