best system for less plants?

Legal limit for me is 6 mature plants, 18 immature plants, what do you think the best system is going to be for these limits? Immature means not flowering and not 12" high or wide.

The large amount of immature plants says to me that I should be trying to get really dense growth in the vegetative state, maybe through pruning? And a short flowering cycle, any ideas?

I'm gonna be building a room in my garage, should be large enough for 2 5x5' rooms at least.

sounds to me like ur best bet would to keep them topped at around 12 inches then. flower the 6 when they ready for harvest then move 6 more in. find a strain that works well with topping and make the plants have like 8 colas lol. to me this would be probably be the best loophole i can think of.

can you clone from the flowering plants? That'd give me an extra flowering plant too.

I'd start out with 6 lowryders for the first grow so you could get a feel for how you want things set up. It will change as you go and the lowryders finish in about 10 weeks total. Sometime during that time I'd get my regular stain ready. As far as type of system. I've tried hydro inside and soil outside. You could go ebb and flow which is the simplest or even hempy pots if you like soiless. You'll have to do a little reseach and see what you think you can handle. Right now I've got 4 finishing up and 4 more getting ready to flower ( about 12") and 6 more in the cloner. That way I get a harvest every 10 weeks or so. When you design your rooms just keep them separate and the flower room light proof. What are you thinking about lights for those rooms. I say if they are 5x5 you'll need either a 400 watt or 600 watt for each room. HPS for flower and MH for grow. Keep asking on the threads and you almost can't go wrong. All the systems work. It's just a matter of how well and that depends on you.

Id be growing six plants very big and producing at least 10 pound from them

Yeah I'm thinking of going with an ebb and flow system, I use that to grow orchids in expanded clay media right now so it's a natural fit, although I hear an aeroponic system is better for cloning. I'm going to try that just because I like to try new things. For lights I'll just veg under tube fluorescents and get a 600 watt hps for flowering.

yeah a scrog like groow would be perfect since ya got the space! i dont know the legal medical rules so what does a clone count as? cuz id take the best 2 or 3 girls and play around with trying various grow techniquues on clones of em to see which 1 u prefer

Clones don't count toward the 6 limit unless they're flowering or over 12" high or wide,

Scrog sounds like a good idea, I hadn't thought about that, I think I'm all set, I just need to build the room now, and clean out my garage.
