questions reguarding plant numbers and yeild

Rooms 8x8 wraped in white poly and have 1 1000watt hps. Legelly alowed 12 plants and I would like to harvest every month. What's the most plants I should have flowering in the room to b able to maxamize yeild and cycles to harvest X amount of plants ea month...also what size should it b a sog methiod or. 2 to3 foot bushes...atm I have been harvesting 3 plants a month with 6 under the hps 3go out 3 more go in to take the other 3 thatt were cut downs place. But I been getting 1 to 2oz ea plant.... I would like more so that's y I would like no a good cycle for ea mo and if I would wanna do a few bushes or max out in a sog

Here's an example of my mentality of thought.... my room has no plants..(month 1)I put 5 2to3ft plants in there to start. (month2) I put 5more..now I have 10 (month3) I harvest 5 and put 5 new plants to take the harvested ones place in the cycle and so on and so on. That amount could not b directly under the lite. Or like this month1 2 plants directly under the light month 2 2 more. Month 3 harvest 2 and replace with 2 new ones.....or a sog with 6ea month month 2 have 12 and cycle 6..idk! Idk if more is less or less is more or if they need to be directly under the light I just don't no. Plz some 1 help me out with a solutshion to mayamize my yeild with what I have as far as space and lighting and with what amount of plants I'm allowed so I can harvest every month...tyvvvm

Or should I just fill my room with 12 plants 2 feet tall and in 5gal smart pots and have 1 huge yeild every 2 months but that's were I'm not sure if more. Plants is less bud per plant or less plants is more bud per plant

Your gonna have to cure your bud for a good month-to how ever long you want it. So I would say go for a month. And look into sog or srcog.

Hello fellow Michigander

Start 4, veg em for 6 weeks (Cut clones at 4 weeks). Flip those first 4...start vegging clones (Cut clones again 4 at weeks). Now you've got 8 flowering, 4 in veg...when the first 4 come out of flowering, cut clones from the 3rd set of 4 then put the 3rd set into flower.

Rinse wash and repeat

I'm caregiving for me and 2 patients...cycles are rough, lol

That sounds pretty good...so id want 8 in flowering....harvesting 4ea month correct?

Or better yet. Veg for 8 weeks and every 4 weeks just put 3 more in and out and you'll be getting 3 big plants every month so it should last you and you can even do 12 different strains and master them and still have a different smoke all the time

Indeed, 4 weeks in veg from clones allows ample growth assuming you're topping and training early (I start FIM at 3rd node set...and FIM every new growth on the plant...)

I run the same cycle but 12-12-12

I don't no nada bout trainning...I just cloan, pot the cloan, veg them a month, a week b4 pputting them in flowering I chop of all the lower growth about 4to8in from the soil up(what ever that's called). Then move to flowering and let them do there thing...but then again that may b were I'm messing up...idk what fim is
