    umm.. best light distance from center of bulb to foliage?

    Its a great start thou. Vert is kinda awkward at first. The thing i struggle with most is training. Since i dont take clones (limitation reasons) all my plants are a lil diff so its hard to train everything evenly. Itll all come wit time thou Sir KK

    umm.. best light distance from center of bulb to foliage?

    Hm so my circle is roughly 46" across, 36" tall with 3 stacked 400ws. Cylinder SA = 2pi • rh + 2pi • r^2. Drop the 2pi•r^2 (no top or bottom to cylinder) So: sa = 2pi • 23(36) = 2pi • 828" = 5202.477in^2 = 36.128ft^2 Divide into watts 1200/36.128 = 33.215w/sqft not including light loss to...

    umm.. best light distance from center of bulb to foliage?

    How is w/ft^2 calculated in a circular set up? watts/surface area comes out to a loow number. But then again i guess the parameters for a vert grow are diff for a horizontal. 50w/ft^2 flat = ?w/ft^2 vert Sir KK

    Really wierd

    Happens sometimes. Jus pull it before it gets bigger. Most likely a weed of some kind that was in yur soil bag or floated into yur room. I use to get em rarely in soil. Ive had mushrooms growing too. Hmm.. Sir KK

    Also. Jesus. Vert training is a bitch. When should i jus let them stretch into the light? Or shud i jus keep tying em back till stretch subsides? Shit a few of these i cant tie back anymore. The branches arent getting taller in the back so there's no new room to tie branches to lol. Also. How...

    Well i had to make a judgement call today. My vegging plants have hit the potiential and are ready to be flowered. 3 gal smart pots are my limit (bigger size wont fit) and im already watering once a day. Ill have to put this test on hold. But i should b able to tell if the plants were...

    Im jus gonna bend whatever is above the 3ft screen sidesways. At this point, itd b to sad to cut the top lol. Thou the option will remain. I do lots of topping early and agree that topping is great in v-scrogs. One plant i have in flower was topped to 8 tops and it spread out real nice across...

    Im hoping i can contain the stretch. They already exceed the height of my screen. They will be trained sideways but this strain is suppose to be stretchy. They only got 12ft of screen circumference. Each plant has a m2 of space so hopeully thats enugh :) Sir KK

    Oh i almost forgot! I took a pic of one of my vegging plants a few days ago. I went to lift it up by the pot and the drip tray was stuck to the bottom! The roots had grown and grabbed onto it hahah. This was literally days after i transplanted. Not sure why the root growth is so crazy but...

    Update time! Man, looking back, there's been some significant growth. But still no real signs of flowering. To be fair, the plants werent mature when put into flower. This being the one downside to 24/0 veg. Plants take a looong time to mature. These had vegged for 5 weeks from seed. When i was...

    Transplanting from soil to coco

    If they're only in small cups yu cud easily (but gently) rinse off the soil before transplanting. I transplanted from soil to coco without rinsing it off and it failed me. The coco wants to b watered but the soil did not. In the end, the soil became a soggy tomb for the heart of the root...

    Yo ttystikk, welcome bro. Vertical has so much potential. Im still tryna unlock it. My circle (2nd one going up soon) is ~46" in diameter. It may be over kill, but with that 18in floor fan (3x overkill) and my 25000k btu window mother fuckin diy mounted ac (did i mention the overkill? Cant...

    I find plants grow faster and more compact under 24/7 light. As for the roots, i blame the coco. Amazing stuff really. And the occasional dose of root start ;) though it does not appear they care if lights are on or off. I got roots growing UP out the soil! Sir KK
