I would day one cycle a year to help maintain.

After reaching my natural limit im sure i would want to get bigger, but 1 cycle a year to maintain is alot $$$, and each next cycle would have stacks and cost more $$$.. i suppose 1 cycle every 2 years would be fine too, i think.. man, id rather use that $1k to buy food, its much more worth it if we're not competing..

well one of my questions are not answered clearly enough yet- the idea of just having a few cycles (not maintaining one every year) is kinda BS?
