Issue #621 - Sunday, March 17, 2024 Greetings Fellow Grower, Today's issue is all about growing more weed with less time and effort! - How do you ensure you always have enough weed? Today's article teaches you the secrets to growing a "perpetual harvest" for a steady
flow of buds. Harvest a new batch of weed every 1-2 months and never run out again!
- What method works to harvest big yields with only a few plants? Maybe you're dealing with plant limits, or just don't want a lot of responsibility. Luckily, you can produce over a pound of weed from only 1-4 plants when you do it right. Learn how today!
- Do feminized seeds cause "hermies"? Some
growers avoid feminized seeds because they believe they are more likely to grow hermies, which cause seedy buds. But is it true? I've done the research, and the answer may surprise you!
- This week's trophy pic shows an example of a perpetual setup that uses autoflowering strains combined with staggered germination to regularly produce big harvests of fat buds!

"Efficiency is doing better what is already being done." ~Peter F. Drucker A cannabis grower must grow enough weed to never run out. Otherwise, what’s the point? How do you ensure you harvest as much weed as you need? The answer is to always be harvesting. (Of course, it also helps to grow a
lot of cannabis at once). This article shows you how to grow a cannabis perpetual harvest, so you can harvest a new batch of weed every 1-2 months and never run out again. Harvest new weed every few months with the “Perpetual Harvest” cannabis technique. Cannabis Perpetual Harvest: 2 Main Strategies- Method 1: Multiple grow spaces (harvest every ~2 months) - Keep vegetative plants and seedlings in one small grow space, and set up a separate bigger grow space for flowering plants while they make buds. After every harvest, move the vegetative plants into the flowering space and start a new set of seedlings in the vegetative space. This
setup allows you to harvest about once every 2 months as long as you follow the instructions below.
- Method 2: Auto-flowering strains in intervals (harvest as often as you want) - Since auto-flowering strains make flowers automatically, you can plant a new seed as often as needed and keep the plants right next to each other. Their buds will form on their own and be ready to harvest 2-3 months from germination. This allows you to harvest buds as frequently as you
want (every month, every week, etc.) without needing more than one grow space.
This harvest produced over 1 lb of premium cannabis buds plus a bag of trim to turn into goodies. If you use a 4’x4′ grow tent with 600W grow light (Example 600W LED setup or 600W HPS setup) for your flowering grow space in this tutorial, you can easily harvest this much weed about once every 2 months. How to Produce a Ton of Weed with Only a Few PlantsCannabis cultivation is legal in many parts of the world including several states in the USA. However, in many instances, growers are subjected to legal plant limits. For example, California (the state where I live) allows adults (21+) to grow up to 6 plants. In Canada, adults can legally grow up to 4 plants. Legal plant count limits can make it harder to get big yields when growing cannabis, especially if you’re also limited on space, but there are tricks and tactics to let you harvest
huge amounts of bud from small grow spaces with just a few plants. In fact, it’s possible to produce over a pound of weed from 1-4 plants when you do it right. Example: Letting plants get bigger will increase your yields, especially when combined with pruning. These two cannabis plants are about 4 feet (1.2m) tall and produced 18.6 oz (over 1 lb) of weed between them! Do Feminized Cannabis Seeds Make 'Hermie' Plants?Feminized seeds only grow female cannabis plants, which means every plant produces buds. On the other hand, “regular” (non-feminized) seeds turn out to be male plants about half the time. Male plants don't produce buds and can cause other problems, so most growers remove them from the grow space as soon as they're identified.
Unfortunately, male plants typically don't grow their telltale pollen sacs until the flowering stage. Learn more about male vs female plants. Feminized seeds let you plan your grow more effectively because you don’t have to nurture plants until the flowering stage, only to throw away
half of them. I also personally find it heartbreaking to throw away a really awesome plant that turns out to be male. I get attached. A cannabis plant grown from feminized seeds (like these Purple Punch seeds) always makes buds. But is there a "dark side" to feminized cannabis seeds? Specifically, are feminized seeds more likely to cause "hermie" plants? Hermie plants cause seeds in your beautiful buds. No grower wants that! The answer may surprise you!

"Here's an Auto-Flowering 'Perpetual Harvest'. The left back auto-flowering White Widow XXL plant is close to harvest. The shorter Forbidden Runtz Auto plant next to it has a few more weeks to go. The auto-flowering plants in the front are just getting started! Since auto-flowering plants don't need special light schedules, all stages of life are kept together in the same grow tent. I might raise the smaller plants up so they're closer to the light to help them grow a little
faster."

From a Reader: KC's Personal Perpetual Harvest Schedule

KC shared their version of a perpetual harvest strategy. This is slightly different than the two I shared in today's article, but it would work just as well. It's kind of like a mix of both. I like that this method lets you grow a mix of auto-flowering and photoperiod strains, while still achieving a perpetual harvest with only two grow tents. I learn so much hearing the experiences from other growers. Don't hesitate to write in and share your version of a perpetual harvest, too! Bonus points if you include pictures :) ~Nebula "Loved your article on a Perpetual Harvest!! This is what I do with one
difference. I use a 4x4 grow tent for the vegetative stage and seedlings. I grow auto-flowering strains in there. I plant 4 autos every month and harvest 4 every month. I have 8 or 9 photoperiod plants vegging in there while there are 8 or 9 photoperiod plants in the flowering tent (which is kept on a 12x12 light cycle). I average only 4 oz of good dried buds on the autos every month, but get about 16 oz (a pound) out of the photos every 2
months. Love your site and the forums are super helpful."
