I was day dreaming in the car today, thinking about a few ideas around a plant rotation system, and wondering whether the experienced growers of the forum could comment on the idea.
I was thinking of essentially using my grow tent to grow and fruit over autumn, winter and early spring, then look to transplant the plants into say 10 litre pots when there is no further danger of frosts, then start over again. My grow tent is only capable of holding about 10 - 12 plants, which is manageable for my liking.
So it would go like this:
Late winter - Germinate seeds
Mid Spring - Move plants from grow tent hydro into 10 litre pots
Late Spring - Put seedlings into grow tent
This would mean I would allow the plants in the 10 litre pots to die, and I'm reduced to 10 - 12 fruiting plants over winter rather than 20 - 24 over late spring -> summer.
One thing though, is there anyone experienced with going from hydro -> soil here? Just looking for some gotchas or stuff to be aware of.
