The March - perpetual grow with no mothers

Does anyone have a link to a grow journal or something where this is shown? I have a pretty good idea of how I'd do it, but would like to see some setups of those that came before me.

I dont have any links but it would be the same as any other perpetual grow. Instead of taking clones with X amount of days until the flowering plants finish, you would just plant seeds X amount of days before the flowering plants finish. So any perpetual grow journal should work. Although, id stay away from perpetual. Personally it gets annoying mixing up 6-8 sometimes 10 gallons of nutes and pH'ing it all. I started out with perpetual because i thought itd be cool to harvest more often, but soon realized it was alot more unnecessary work for no real increase in anything. I get the same, if not better yield from the 2 month cycle since it gives me more time to grow out the veg and top/train to my liking while using that time instead of waiting for something to get to a certain point.

But thats just me. If youve got the time go for it. But let me know what you think of it. haha.

I know people who don't keep mothers and grow perpetual. They either make clones right before put the plant into harvest or they buy clones. I grow perpetual but I keep mothers. These guys are always calling me up because they lost a strain that they like hoping I have it. If your clones don't root for some stupid reason then you are boned. You have to buy them or beg them off of friends. In Michigan, if you have 5 cards you can have 72 plants including your own. These guys run their grows in sets of eighteen. Two flower rooms on flip switches. One veg room and a clone area. Its very efficient. They average 4 to 6 oz a plant. That's more weed than I can use. They pull plants once a month. It's not my thing. I pull a couple plants a week. Besides I wouldn't want to trim that damn many at once.

What I do is a pseudo mom. I have one tent and a small cab. Just before flower I cut some clones and put them in the cab. Whichever one is best gets vegged in the cab with heavy training to create lots of branches/tops. A couple weeks before the tent is done with flower I cut clones from the mom in the cab for my next grow. Flower ends and they go in the tent.

Exactly, what the guys I know do. I've got six blue cheese clones going for them because for some dumbass reason theirs died.
