Still got to clean the insides of the tubes. One of them has a load of black flecks on one side, not sure where they came from....it's a chore of a job but they are only in veg and they are getting pumped with 1200w so that should cover the few plants I got in there:)
Off to munch more banana bread, freakin addicted to the stuff, can't stop making it.....

Hey DST what are the advantages to growing in the octagon like that ? Do the plants get crouded much ? Is it easy to circulate the air in there ? I'm just curious it looks pretty awesome

I looked at the two hermie plants closer and decided to just cut them down. It hurt to do it after vegging them this long but there were just too many places with little pollen sacks growing. I don't want to risk the other plants getting seeded. Now I have a little more room in there empty that needs plants. Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll pot up some clones I got from Supchaka and stick them in there. Then they'll be ready about four weeks after the Hericheese finishes.

I suppose that means I need to pop some BB gear soon. I was planning to run some of the BB strains I recently got after the Hericheese is done. I'd like to get a decent cut of each and clone them to run them for a while. Maybe cross them down the road or something.

Interesting! I've grown a few dozen of them and never had a hermie. It's about the most stable plant I've ever grown. But anythings possible in this world!

No worries on the herms. It happens sometimes and I see it as part of growing. The best looking one ended up being the only true female.

As the Dr. said, you can increase your canopy by at least 2 to 3 times in a vertical set up. And there is no light reflected so also great use of that. Basically you can max out your space using this. I doubt I would do it if I had acres to work with, but when land is scarce, you build towards the sky! It is very easy to crowd out the room when like this as you need to take into account the girth and width of the plant in relation to where the other plants are, otherwise you end up with overcrowding and light issue (i.e you then start to reduce your canopy area as the circle/octagon around the light begins to get smaller as the plants get close to the light). This way involves a reasonable amount of training and a decent veg, but when looking at the return, my best results have been about .95gpw with 2 600's in a 4x4foot area. For air circulation, I have air being pulled into the top and bottom of the cab, the cool air is then pushed down through the cab using fans I have placed up top. The filter can is on the floor and draws in air from there and up through the tubes. Since I moved it to this configuration I have had no mold issues, and no burnt leaves either. All in all, I would recommend it to anyone who has space limitations.

Funniest comment about vertical growing I have heard was from a Dutch guy who has a Grow shop in Amsterdam. When I was explaining to him how I grew, firstly he said, "all you Americans hang your bulbs vertically" that made me giggle a bit. But then he said, " and plants do not like getting light underneath their leaves and you end up with a dead spot under the light".....I guess he didn't like vertical growing, and obviously doesn't have a clue about how intelligent plants can be...."light under the leaves indeed" too funny. He has never seen a plant with Jazz hands then! All the leaves on my plants change so their tops are facing the light. It's quite cool to see the change when moving your plant from a horizontal set to vertical.

Anyway, I didn't have a dictionary for breakfast so I'll end this ramble now!

Hey guys I'm gonna be taking a trip to my local hydroponic retailer lol and I was wandering if you guys use any bloom boosters during flowering that you would recommend? All input is greatly appreciated

Also running hydro dwc if it matters

I like to give a PK Boost at week 4 and 6. Cant wait to go dwc again, move along summer.. :)

Strange thing. I have this WW clone going from ghs. the mother turned out great but very fragile and acceptable to mold. So i havent been giving this clone much thought and its been kinda cornered. Then looking today i see it has started to flower from the bottom :) wtf it aint time yet. Guess my lemon skunk cant hold ghs up in my mind no more. Ive ran more seeds from ghs than any other and most turned out never turning out. Bad genes, bad! ;)
Pictures at any given moment!!!! :P

I'm using heavy 16 fire for the first time on this grow. My cousin has been using it for a couple years and loves it. I flipped to 12/12 the day I transplanted from the 1g into the 5g with ocean forest so they will get no other nutes or supplements than the Fire. A test of sorts.
