dude great plans! i see the transformation here...the gathering of new research and ideas with a little hands on, and ready to fire it into the next round. exciting shit man!
and you are doing the right thing with ur wife too, my opinion. my wife is somewhat involved in the process here, but she counts on me to keep it clean and tight. and there is no real need to go over plant limits anyway since a single plant vegged 12 weeks can give you a pound. thats a 22 week cycle from seed, 4 lights gives you that pound right abouts oh every month. shave off a couple weeks using clones.
where im at and circumstances what they are, my plant limit is rediculous in light of my needs, lol. im allowed 12, can be authorized to 15. but im pulling pounds from less than half that. i can also buy clones locally so there is no point to set up for all that unless i run a single strain for a grip of cycles. i just wish the possesion limits were higher, thats where my hands get tied. 24 oz of flower aint so much sometimes especially running a single light cycle. it also reduces the number of flavors i can produce and keep around. few jars here, few jars there...it adds up fast. further processing into hash or tinctues, or edibles also allows me to keep a little more of my harvest too as those have thier own possession limits.
fk, am i stoned n rambling? just tell me to shut up already.
