After much time, deliberation, research, and of course the helping hand of you guys :) I'm going to keep is smaller and more simple for myself so I don't fuck anything up. Lol.
Ive decided to do a 400 watt veg room and a 4KW flower room.
Four weeks of veg in 5gal pots. And every 4 weeks rotate 8 plants in 8 plants out.
Grantid I only have a 400 watt veg room and a 2KW flower room at the moment. I'll just wait until the last 4 weeks of bloom and I'll start vegging 8 more. Its somewhat of a perpetual. Almost like an engine out of timing. Lol.
Thanks everybody. :)
Thats a good idea. I was afraid of shocking them during transition so I kept my lights elevated all the way. I wish my 1KW ballast could run a 600w bulb. Haha. Ultimately I wish I could do a 400, 600, 1000 transition though.What your motor is missing is a 600W stage between your little room and the big 4kW, even if you're only filling half your space per cycle. That's a big jump in light intensity they need to be ready for, or the poor things just scorch.
Make the zone under your 600 a big 3 x 3' and that's the cylinder you're looking for.

Very true. I know that every thing I can do to improve living conditions will pay off in the end, some more than others. whether I get an extra gram or even half an extra gram in the end for a certain improvement, extra grams are extra grams. And I like extra grams. Is this gonna be a technique that might bring me an extra few grams? Or will this slow transition really have a noticeable effect on the yield? Thanks.Don't sit on your ass and wish; get cracking on building it. NOW. The advice I'm giving you is worth the difference between a fruitful hobby and a six figure income.
Just thought I'd spell out the stakes in green and white on this one for ya, brother- some improvements are incremental; this one is instrumental in terms of throughput and ultimate yield. Seriously! If you're still sitting there reading this, you're losing cash... :greedy:

Veg 2 weeks with 400w veg the second 2 weeks with 600w then flower first week or 2 with 600 then bust out the big boy 1000's to finish off bloom? Yay? Nay?
wow I only use my 400w hps until I get my mh bulb. I have vegged under 1k before but not enough to tell the difference in the plants. the summer heat is going to cook me with anymore lol, got to upgrade my cooling already.. tyy u good at spending peoples money for reals...Lmao thanks for the input
You use Ice Boxes, Tty? The 8" ones? How do you use them? I thought you do bare verts.... are they decently efficent? How many do you use and are they the only thing you use for cooling the air?
I have long considered buying them to use, but haven't wanted to drop the cash on em, plus I haven't ever had a chiller up until now. Which, btw, is working out just fine for now. I've only got 2kw running at the moment, but I think it will handle 4kw okay with how cold the air that runs through the hoods is these days...
sounds like if u veg under t5 u will have better built plants shorter squattier sorry about the spelling ive been growing the last 10 years lol this on line thing is new but my bd would b huge to if I fallowed this guys regiment and soft top as soon as u plant them that helps alsodo you mean weeks or months? if i vegged my bluedream for 2 months id only fit - bluedream per 1k. i veg bluedream for 3 weeks indoor and right now week 3 flower they are 6ft tall. imagine vegging for 2 months.
I would recommend 2 weeks veg on any sativa dominate plant with a 1000 watt light with25 plants per 4x4 or 5x5 witch ever u prefer but this whole perpetual garden on a small scale is new to me but sounds fundo you mean weeks or months? if i vegged my bluedream for 2 months id only fit - bluedream per 1k. i veg bluedream for 3 weeks indoor and right now week 3 flower they are 6ft tall. imagine vegging for 2 months.
I'll add a combination suggestion/caveat to all of the above.
Like TTY I run a multistage (4-ish) continuous grow based on around a 2-3 week cycle.
As others have warned, pests/infection are a very real consideration with continuous grows and something I have had to do battle with myself, including a pervasive PM infection currently...
In the future, if I have the money and can redesign, I would do a minimum of 2 isolated areas for veg and flower (even via tents) to help deal with any issues with less potential "impact". And with that setup in flower, you could use a flip box to keep ballast costs in line and keep cooling a bit easier/cheaper.
