Pots in the bottom are about 1/4-1/2 gallon. I grow them to about 12-14” and then transplant them into 2 gallon pots that go into the flowering chamber above. The plants above get to about 24-26” above the soil when finished. I top them if they start stretching too much to keep them away from the quantum board lights.
Been getting around 2-2.5 oz per plant every 8 weeks depending on strain at a cost of between $6-10/oz to produce including the cost of electricity, soil, nutes, etc.
The genetics I don’t factor in as that’s a one time cost for seeds and then I clone them from that point on so they don’t cost me anything but a rapid rooter plug to reproduce.
I grow perpetually so I’ve always got something going in and coming out. I’ve got this last round bunched up a little. Should have a decent harvest mid feb to end of feb and then nothing for a few weeks until the middle of March. I may end up putting a couple more plants in flowering as I have room for 10 but currently only have 8 in there. But if needed I can add a couple more.
I also have 1 gallon flowering pots but those require frequent watering mid to late flowering so I don’t use them anymore unless I’m testing out new strains and want to flower them early to cram more of them in a smaller space.
