Couple that grows together, stays together.

Hey everyone! We are a couple that recently became legal in Michigan.

We have done research for years and feel we are finally mature enough and financially ready, to grow our own medicine. We are SUPER f#cking pumped lol.

Understanding the plant or how it grows i.e. lighting, enviroment, etc... isnt the problem as we are both very confident in our abilities because we've grown other crop quite succefully and one of us has had a few indoor grows over the past ten years.

Our real debate has been fueled by the number of plants we are both legally able to have now combined. 24 between the two of us(the few past grows consisted of 2-4 plants total from seed to flower)

We decided we are definitely going to grow hydroponically.

We are throwing around the ideas of a 12 rockwool cube station tray in veg tent with an auto drip timer system and a d.i.y. 12-site "oxygen pot type" system with 5 gallon buckets with suspended smart pots for the flowering tent. (Open to suggestions for maximum yield in least amount of time)

Ideally we would like:

to get 12 clones first and veg them for 4-5 weeks (depending on the strain of course)

When those 12 are ready, move them to the flowering tent and put 12 new pre-purchased clones in veg and so on and so on..

..and yes...we've definitely considered having our own mothering/cloning tent later down the line.

What sized tents should we use for veg and flower areas for that amount of plants(12..i should be able to get a smaller veg. tent than the flowering tent correct)

Whats the best tent combo!? The possibilities are endless, its amazing!

Also open to lighting(im going L.E.D. for sure but open to size, brand suggestions) ...and nutrient ideas coupled with your tent suggestions. 1g per watt is the goal here right lol? Thanks guys and gals!

P.s. totally new to the "auto strain" world. If i can flower 24 "autos" in one tent and not have seperate tents thatd be awesome. If there is anyone willing to share their knowledge of how to flower them and what they require thatd be great.

Build a room and divide it into two separate parts.... Veg and flower. Clean up and maintenance will be easier that's just my two cents . Congratulations on going legal

I think you ought to use an 8x4 tent for that many plants for flowering. Start 12 clones vegging and 4 or 5 weeks start the next 12 to put in there to flower with the first ones. You might want to go 8 plants so you can have a 3rd set ready to go in when you crop the first 8. That way you can stay to your 24 limit of growing plants. Might not be easy to do with rockwool cubes. I'm not a fan of rockwool but lots of people use it and grow great pot.

You wouldn't need much of a space to veg 8 and could do that easy with a 400W MH or equivalent in a closet or smaller tent.

Sure wish my spousal unit and her adult daughter would get into helping. Especially come trimming time! :)

:peace:
