Perpetual Grow. When do you start planting seeds while you are flowering?

stop yelling at me!! I CAN READ NON-CAP LETTERS JUST AS GOOD. Question, do you flush? XD .. I've learned that laziness and growing doesn't work well together. Just one of those things that you need to be ahead of the problems
I’m not yelling at you. This is for everyone to acknowledge of which plant is what. caps is for those who don’t read thoroughly. Yes I flush second week.

still yelling hurts my fragile soul! .. I think that is one reason why your plants look like that near the end of the bloom. I've said it a few times before but I've learned my lesson about flushing! Just starves the plant when they need nutrients the most

I haven’t flushed for a dwc plant grown healthy, such as my third grow. So we’ll see what happens.

Nice! I'm willing to bet it comes out better! Never flush (unless to remove salt or to fix a hot feeding issue) .. GL

What’s wrong with flushing? You can expect leaves to turn yellow because it’s using energy from nutrients stored in the roots and leaves so it can concentrate on flowering instead of trying to absorb nutrients from water and concentrate on flower.

The problem is that isn't true. It takes longer than 2 weeks for the plant to remove any "store in leaves" nutrients. The green is from Chlorophyll which greats sugars for the plant. When that turns color the leave doesn't take up the light anymore, its dying. The harsh taste is, but not solely, from the chlorophyll. If you dry it right the it will leave the plant and you will be left with good bud. The problem is people dry too quickly and the plant doesn't have the time to remove all of it.

Longer than 2 weeks to completely remove most nutrients or start using nutrients?

Let’s try and not go off topic and turn this into nutrient plant problem. That’s for other topics. This is about timing, techniques, and personal experience how to perform perpetual grows, otherwise I’d be posting in the Marijuana Plant Problem forum for nutrient problems.

You don't want to remove any nutrients, it kills off the leaves. It will kill the plant quicker and you lose out on yield and most likely potency.

I can now understand why your plants look the way they do! GL LOL

Ok good. Now let’s stick to what the topic is about instead of derailing it into a nutrient problem topic.

one of the seedlings started getting the tips burnt so i had to move the light a bit away until its healthy enough to move the light closer.
good when you have space to move light, one grow i had do with 30% of lamp, sad grow, will never buy autos again :D

Someone probably already pointed this out but sprouting seeds is not really considered perpetual growing IMO. Keeping mom's and running clones/cuttings is.

Perpetual means neverending. If you start a new mom every cycle you end the perpetual growth of said genetic and you loose a lot of control, time and resources on potentially unstable and poorly producing plants.

Not the same but I had some Autos in with my Photos at 18/6 thought they would be ready before I flipped.

Flipped and still waiting on the Autos. Give them a New Home.

Was actually thinking they would be ready before Christmas.
