although...if you are growing for personal use i think you dont need 6 plants...try 1-2
if you are a drug dealer and you setup shop across the road from a school, then fuck you...lol
6 plants..

Let me show you six plants.



2 years in jail for you!

But those are small veg plants..

What about clones?

Here's 4 clones..



Here's a plant that's ready to go into flower stage (day 6 of flower, 41 days after sprouting.. that looks like amazing growth for 41 days, huge leaves, big light, no crowding, big pot, soil)



And then 2-3 months after that, you're ready to cut them



Then you have to dry and cure them properly, another several weeks to several months.

Problem!!

If you do the whole thing from start to finish and then start all over again (consecutive style) it takes way longer. You need to have separate areas for veg and flower because of the light cycle differences, AND, there can't be light transfer between the two or the plants get confused about whether they're resting or growing in the night time.

So you need to have a cycle, otherwise your flower room is just in downtime for months at a time. That means you need a lot more than 6 plants. You'll regularly have clones, veg plants, flower plants and stuff drying and curing all at the same time.

One of the better systems is to do a 2 week schedule with 2 lights, so every 2 weeks you're cloning, moving things down the line, and harvesting plants on one day. Rinse and repeat every 2 weeks.

Sound like a lot of work? It is.. And so you want to have more than 6 plants to make it worthwhile (even if you're keeping it for yourself).
