-<Ask MrHowardMarks>-

After my PM box filling up day after day... I decided to make a "ask me" thread.

I suppose I know a decent amount of information, and could probably help you out with some of your questions, or direct you in the right direction.

*Please don't post pics asking me what's wrong with your plant*

Describe your grow as short and sweet as possible, and what your question is, I check daily, and will answer as soon as I can.

I like grow room design & setup, and advanced discussion. I'm not very informative with hydro, so sorry if I skip on the hydro questions.

I have an extensive journal, it's in my sig, most questions are answered there as far as getting a seed to multiple clones for flower. I have detailed cloneing, sexing photos... It's a bit long, and there are a lot of questions from other growers that popped up during the journey.

Hope to help, post me your questions.

It's just a plant.

I have a 2'deep x 4.5'wide x 6'high grow closet in an unused room in my bi level home, In soil, what would the best setup be, to generate 6 oz a month. I figure I can run 6 plants at full tilt, most likely grown feminized from seed as I dont have the capacity for a vegg box, or clone area. I Have made this closet my flowering room. Flowering from seed has led me to a little over an oz per plant, but it takes too long for the next crop to complete. What would you do. Is a grow tent or vegg box of some sort the only answer? I am using CFLs as a HID will be impossible to keep cool without cutting vent holes in the attic or building wall which I am trying to avoid. I own this unit but it is attached to other units. So far smell has been no issue, but I have only had 3 flowering plants in bloom at once.

So in a shorter version, how do I pull 6 oz, off 6 plants max, every 30 days with only a flowering room. Can it be done?

Not every month, but every 45 day's sure...

Since you have a 6 foot clearence, you have a little space to work with...

You could build a shelf for the top 2 feet of the closet and use it for taking clones, and vegging out small plants, or what would be better is if you have a seperate closet to use for vegging/cloneing.

This will give you a massive head start and keep the perpetual cycle going.

After harvesting, you'll have the plants you need already vegged out enough for flowering, so there will be no delay. You will take clones from the plants, then put them into flower... Those clones will be ready in 2 weeks, replant into small containers (solo cups) and veg them a while until you can take cuttings. By then, you should be harvesting, and they will be ready for flowering...

As far as quickness. I recommend getting a 45 day strain. Early Girl is one, but not too tasty... A hybrid of Skunk x Northern Lights x Early Girl is and excellent blend, very good taste... It's bred by Sensi Seedbank, the strain is Silver Pearl

It's super easy to grow, and finishes fast, it's a local favorite, and I'm proud to have it in my garden. I've crossed it with Somango, which is a long flowering stretchy strain to try to shorten the flowering period and cut back on the stretch.

Fantastic advice, I never thought about dividing the room as an upper and lower. But I like it. I may have to give her a go. Thanks My man
