How would you like to harvest from your own garden every three weeks?
All you need to do is set up three flowering rooms, or divide your present flowering space into three distinct areas. Then start a group of plants flowering in the first room/area and start the second room/area three weeks later, and follow that by starting the third room three weeks later, i.e., SIX weeks after starting the first room.
The advantage of such a growing strategy is that it requires one third of the labor to harvest each time, as compared to harvesting the whole garden at once. If you are like most home growers, you do ALL the work alone. Clearly, it’s easier to harvest one-third of the total space than having to manage the entire harvest alone.
This strategy assumes that you are growing strains that are finished flowering in 8 – 9 weeks. Or you can simply divide by three the number of weeks of flowering your strains require and separate the rooms by that amount of time.
The “workflow” required of the grower to operate a perpetual harvest goes like this:
1 – Every three weeks, you take a sufficient number of clones that will fill one room or the area that represents one-third of the total flowering space.
2 – Allow the clones to root (about 7-10 days) and progress through the necessary vegetative growth until they’re ready to be flowered. This will typically be about 6-8 weeks from the date the cuttings were taken from the mother plant(s). Don’t forget that you need to continue performing step one this whole time too!
3 – Load the first room (or area) with plants and start them on a 12/12 light schedule to induce flowering.
4 – Three weeks later, load the next group of clones that are ready to flower into room 2. Note that group one is already 3 weeks further into flowering than group two.
5 – Three weeks later, load the next group of clones that are ready to flower into room three. Note that room one is six weeks further into
flowering than group three.
6 – Two weeks later, room one will have been flowering for 8 weeks and those plants are ready to harvest. So now you have a week during which you’ll harvest the plants in room one, as well as clean and reload the room with the next group of plants and you’ll have them ready to flower by the end of the week.
7 – At this point, the step six procedure starts to repeat every three weeks and you’ve accomplished incorporating the perpetual harvest
system.
I have personally used this strategy for years to save myself the overwhelming task of harvesting a huge number of plants all alone. I hope you will find it as helpful to you as it’s been for me. As always, grow great commercial-grade genetics.

December 20, 2021 1:26 pmI am getting into this for the very first time ever. I’m looking into buying seeds to produce product that my wife can smoke for her pain and I’m wanting to produce edible products from my harvest. Which seed do you recommend for what I want to do? Thank you.
