Hello everybody!
Here's a quick introduction. I'm a home grower since December and I learned a lot on this forum. I don't really care about yield, because I vape about 5g per month and I harvested about 50g in April (my first ever indoor grow). So even with low yields, I still harvest more than I need and I pretty much grow for fun at this point. It's an addictive hobby, that's for sure.
Without further ado, here's my current setup:
Flowering tent:
These plants are from clones. It's my second indoor grow ever, first time with clones (first grow was from bagseeds). I started them in the 2x2 tent, before I got the 3x3. Since the 2x2 tent is only 4' high, I used the ScrOG technique to keep them as low as possible, in 2 gal pots. That's why their quite small in the tent. Also they had a severe case of nute burn and a mild case of thrips just after 11/13 flip (successfully treated with pyrethrum) which stunted their growth. The NYCD, the Flo and the CBD strain had a particularly rough time: transplant shock just before 11/13 flip, so their growth was even more severely stunted, which sucks because NYCD and Flo are two of my favorite strains ever. So I kept them anyway just to get a few grams of buds, and I took a few cuttings around day 18 of flowering in order to save the genetics and try again in the next run. Those "monstercropping" clones are now in the veg tent (see below).
All in all, this run was pretty bad. Those crippled plants are now at day 59 and I expect less than 15 grams, but like I said, that's not really a problem for me.
Veg tent:
The two Exotic Thai are from feminized seeds and they're at day 28 since germination (paper towel method), in 1 gal pots. The seven other plants are monstercropped. I never cloned before, so it was quite an experiment for me: first cloning and first monstercrooping at the same time. Like I said above, I took the cutting around day 18 of flowering. I used rockwool cubes as well as Root Riots, cloning gel and a humidity dome. They all rooted successfully in less than 12 days (the Root Riots ones rooted a bit faster) and reverted to vegetative growth about 14 days later. They're now at day 38 and they're starting to grow fast now, except the NYCD which was the smallest cutting (1 inch long).
My plan is to wait for the current flowering run to end and to flower the monstercropped clones next. Before that, I'll just take a NYCD clone and a Flo clone, in order to keep a total of four mother plants: the two Exotic Thai, one NYCD and one Flo. I will choose which Exotic Thai plant I'll keep as a mother when I finally flower some clones from them (after the monstecropping run).
There you have it. I hope I didn't forget any relevant information. I feel it's gonna be a bit chaotic until I find the right rythm for perpetual grow. In the meantime, I'm sure I will have a lot of questions for you!
Thank you for your attention!

Without further ado, here's my current setup:
Flowering tent:
- 3x3x6
- 125W Cree COBs full spectrum
- 11 hours on, 13 hours off
- Soil: Biobizz Light Mix
- Organic nutrient: NPK 2-7-4
- Strains (from clones):
- 1 x New York City Diesel (already harvested)
- 1 x Flo
- 1 x Motavation x Headband
- 1 x Headband x T-Master
- 1 x Unidentified CBD strain (1:1 ratio)

- 2 x Exotic Thai (from seed)
