What you got is what you get...

This grow is done...

I am not sure, but I believe we will see another Heath grow, before we see him here again..

yah I just noticed heath doesnt have many posts(like 80) but the ones he has are gold = )

hey loveit.. al be fuct said that...

He kind of disappeared when his Black Rose seed run was getting close to finished. He promised a way to
dist. some seeds through an online bank and haven't heard from him since.

Hopefully he is not sitting in jail somewhere.

not even ... he was logged on here a couple days ago..

I wonder why the silence then? I was really interested in getting some of those Black Rose seeds. Such a beautiful plant.

bro.. you cant buy or get seeds from other members on RIU, hell thats why overgrow got shut down!


Peace N luv

Dudes...

This grow is done...

He will probably pop back in... but I bet we will see him again in another thread for another one of his magical grows...



and may I suggest ditching the negative talk... people leave all the time without getting busted...

That's how rumors get started and people freak out...

And MEDIMARY is right... let's work together so we don't loose RIU to silly, avoidable stuff...

Cheers...

My hat is off to you sir... you have inspired some new creations for me

I'm completely aware of that. He never said he was going to distribute seeds to members of RIU. He just said
that he might let us know where they could be available through a seed bank. Maybe too many people became
interested and he felt it would be too much risk. Either way, Heath is a genius and a great guy for letting people
on here learn from his experience.

Peace

Welcome to my latest vertical grow, this time around I am using 4" soil pipe, a 4000 liter per hour pump, and one 600w bulb.
The internal diameter is 4 ft.

Heath Robinson said:

A 400l per hour pump is more than enough I run this one on a bypass to reduce the flow, one 600w is perfect for this system but it could easily run with 2x600w but It would benefit from another row. non of these things are set in stone and good results could be had from smaller dimensions and wattage's.

here is my auto cad which explains how the system and adjustable water levels are controlled.

Ummm, Heath states 4000l pump in first post and them 400l pump on page 5....

Im pretty sure he means 4000l, or at least I hope so or somebody is going to rip their roots out to sea like a storm drain! lol

Please verify

On this picture, you can see the physical size of the pump...

I would be willing to say that pump is more in the 100gph than in the 1K gph...

I'll stick my neck out and say that is probably a FOUR HUNDRED liter per hour pump.... it's just a small pump...

I have a couple of questions. Say you wanted to stay under the 99 plant limit and you built a vertical grow like this with 99 plants. If you use 2 600 watt bulbs or maybe even 3 600 watt bulbs would that add significantly to the end yield? Does Heath run CO2 in a sealed room environment? If not I take it that would add to the yields as well.

Do you run an MH bulb to keep the plants short? If you were to run say one mh and one hps or even two hps bulbs would you run into problems of your plants stretching to much?

Figure 8 inch cool tubes 3 600 watt bulbs (2hps and one MH) 99 green crack plants starting about 6 inches tall running co2 in a sealed room with perfect climate. Think you could get an ounce per plant or is that dreaming? I would love to hear Heaths opinion on this.

On a seperate topic I have heard that a 1000 watt bulb is not beneficial for vertical and 600 watt is the way to go any reasons why exactly?

Also maybe add 3 UVB bulbs to make the buds extra sticky.

Any ideas on how to make this plan better is cool.

I think what heath created was meant to be simple. and By hitting 2.1 grams per watt one of the most efficient grows out there. I cant really see anywhere to improve on this already great design, except to use cool tubes, seal the room and add co2.
but its a pretty awesome setup the way it is.. if your going to add more lights make the room taller and veg the plants longer. as heath says its up to you to design whats good for you..
not him design something for you.

I'd like to see someone beat his g/w on this grow...

Well not trying to have him design me something just curious if adding more light would help at all or if more is not better. Vegging more would not be beneficial as it takes more time but I am just curious if you can get to much light. (Assuming the temperature was kept under control) I definately do not want to go over 99 plants so that is why I ask how to possibly make it better. I would have to try it and see but I would love some good input on this. How much did he say it ran to make these?

read the whole post eh.. it says on page 1
yeah GB thats the highest I have personally ever seen myself. 2.1
just beautiful ! thanks heath
