First vert grow op, third grow.

So I'm about to finish a grow and I'm going to be switching to vert after meeting a few people who have been giving me a lot of advice and showing me a lot about what I "should" be doing.

I have 3 plants right now about to be done flowering and I'm waiting on seeds from ossc. I bought a 24 pack of sensi seeds and 2 LSD seeds as per the girlfriends request.

I'm going to be starting 6 seeds, 4 SS, 2 LSD, and 1 of the freebies (I'm hoping for a candy cheese).

For the set up I have my secret jardin Dr90 twin (3x3x5) a 150w HPS and a 600w HPS.
I'm going to be starting the seeds under the 150 and switching to the 600 unless I decide to buy new flouros cause mine are dead.

I don't have any pics right now so this is just gonna sit here for a little while.

Got my order today.

Lovin the "working gloves" they sent.
Its no shirt but im sure they will get some use.

Keep me posted on the LSD , you will have no problem with Barney's try their Vanilla Kush = fantastic, what company do you use?

I order from Original Sensible Seed Company. Ive gotten 3 successful orders.
Im really excited about the LSD, i've heard GREAT things.

Also I meant to say 3 of the Sensi Seeds, 2 LSD, and 1 Cheese Candy.

3 Cheese Candy (1 mainlined)
2 Sensi Seeds (1 topped)
1 Lemon Sour Diesel

Roughly 2 weeks old.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Rollitup mobile app

Here they are roughly 4 weeks old.
3 days of 12/12.

The tied down Sensi Seed, the first two pics in the last post, was male so it was removed yesterday.
I have my little starbucks cup full of perlite in there now as well. Its about a week old.

Now that I have a camera and plants available heres more pics

Lookin good though. I'll have to take pics of mine soon. I'm using coco hempy with maxibloom. Took forever for my clones to take off, but they look good now.

Yeah these took a while to get going but as soon as they did I figured it would be a good time to start flowering.
I am impatient and about 2 months behind where I wanted to be but eh nothing ever goes as planned.
I use Fox Farms usually the trio but just the grow big this time as I heard that I need to focus on just keeping the leaves green and happy rather than using bloom nutes and what not.

i go for cost and efficiency lol. A 5 kg bale of coc is 16 bucks. I got 3 3 gallon pots plus a 20 gallon tub half full from one bale. Better cost ratio then soil if you ask me. I got a bag of hydroton pebbles for 10 bucks 2.2 pounds of maxi for 20 or something like that, and all you do is add 7 grams per gallon and your done. From start to finish. But you need ph meter for sure, I'm saving for the truncheon meter though I don't think I really need it because I don't see no issues.

I honestly have never once checked ph.
I bought a meter on my first grow and my dog chewed it to crap before I ever used it.
I really like soil. I can leave my plants for 2-4 days at a time without anything as opposed to needing to be in there everyday 2-3 times a day.
Not that I mind I just prefer the lower maintenance.

Once a day is all I water and it could go longer, I just like to ensure there's water in the bottom of my pot. In coco, you treat it like hydro so ph is essential.

Looking good, Will start following your grow !

Watering?
How often and how?

I do a 50/50 peat/verm.
with distilled and fox Farm.

I will try this.

Looking great so far brother. 3x3 is a great space for a vert 600 but maybe even better quality 400 vert in same space..

Take a look at my grow in here under "organic doughnuts mm"
I did a 600w vert in a similar space, 3x3 closet back in the day and have pics there... If you do 600 you gotta be able to keep it cool and tie branches back from hitting light or too close to it. They burn and bleach easy in that small area.

So far heat hasnt been a problem. I figure if any of them are going to be too close it will be when they start to bud and fall over but I intend to tie the ones in the corners to the tents corner bars and anything else Ill use stakes to hold back.
I dont think I would bother downgrading to a 400 because if heat became an issue I would just take them out of the tent and use the closet but so far so good.
Size is also another reason I wasnt vegging very long. Id say these wont be over 4 feet tall.


Heres a pic of my mainlined cheese candy that i broke in the middle but hasnt skipped a beat in growing.
