Thanks man, yes I veg vert as well. I move my lights around in veg depending on how full it is. But basically I have a t5 that sits over my freshly rooted clones for the first week or so. Then they get moved over into the second stage where there is 2 1000w MH hanging between the plants.

How long between fresh cuts in the cloner and day one in bloom? I'm about 90 days, really wanna cut that down a month if I can.

Right now I'm at 8 weeks, I was doing 7 but I wanted to veg a bit longer. Cuts will sit under the dome for 2 weeks to root, then 6 weeks of veg time before they're flipped to flower. So 56 days give or take.

wow...im extremely new to the art of the grow, but this is VERY impressive.
Thanks.


So I'm about a week or two away from harvest again. And I can say without a doubt that I will be lolipoping and cleaning out the middle shit, 1 week into flower, from here on out. These plants are packing on weight, and my tops have never come out so big and chunky.

The only problem is, I now have way more tying to do. Pretty much every branch needs support, not just the mains. But I guess it's a good problem to have.

My other flower room is 3 weeks in. And they are looking great. In this room i have my 4 main trees in my hydro buckets, and I also have 5 plants in 5gal smart pots that I stuck in the corners to utilize some wasted space and light.

I'm finally rolling my system on schedule and it feels awesome. No down time, no empty rooms. Im so glad I decided to split my one larger flower room into two. It's so much easier to control and harvesting once a month feels pretty damn good.

Some pictures

Flower room A: Almost 8 weeks.

Looking pro status in here. You'll know you've arrived when you get your very own hater. Lol
Lol. Thanks man. They can try and hate, I just don't give those people the time of day. I could care less what someone has to say if they're coming at me with hate. Constructive criticism is one thing, bullshit hate by people running closet grows with cfl's....GTFO.

For the most part, I try and lay low seems like not a lot of people browse the vert section anyways. I honestly just don't have anyone in my life I can share this shit with, other than my parents and wife's parents. So I come here to show some people who might appreciate it, and to talk shop, so to speak.

Hater's stay away. It's nice to see tall plants my rotational setup is so small, and it's tough to have just 3 finishing at a time because I'm trying to follow co law (at least loosely). Even though my heights are restricted I'd still like to hit the bottoms with more light.

Lol watch the trolls crawl out from under their rocks the moment you try to do something actually new and different, lol

Yes I've noticed that vertical sections aren't well supported. I've found lots of vertical grows, they just tend to be in the organic section or the RDWC section, etc.

Integration is key, IMHO.

I can yield that much with 250W of CFL, bruh. You don't even know. Nobody uses ropes from the ceiling like you, that's wack - just kidding, you're fucking awesome. Rock on.

Hey PK, what are the height of those plants right before you put them in the flower room ? What height do they end up right before chopping ?

Thank :)

I guess it depends on how your measuring the height. If I measure from the floor to the top of the plant, it's probably 5' tall when I flip into flower, and like 9'-9.5' tall when finished flowering.

Thanks so much PK for always sharing.

I have another question for you please, if you had the extra height in these rooms would you ever consider running Gavita lamps horizontally as well as your vertically hung bulbs ?

Thanks

No problem man, that's why I'm here.

As for the question. I suppose, if money was no option, and I could deal with the added heat etc...I would probably throw as much lighting on them as they could possibly take. Cause why not?

I ordered some seeds last Friday from PeakSeedsBc, looking to add some Sativas to my garden. They were in the mail on Tuesday (long weekend) and arrived today, can't say enough about Mike over at Peak, quick to answer any email, and fast shipping.

It was my first ever seed order and I can't wait to start popping some beans. I picked up his Sweet Skunk, C99, Skunkberry, and the SSxC99.

I'm planning on growing these in dirt along side my hydro plants, and if I find something I really like I will probably throw it into my hydro system and grow them into trees, just to see how they do.

I think I'm just going to pop 1 strain at a time, and veg them until I can take a clone from each, then I'll use that to determine sex. I'll get rid of my males and I'll take clones from the remaining females, in case I want to keep a certain pheno, and then I'll flower out the moms.

I figure working with just the one strain will keep the feeding schedule easier. I'm not interested in having to mix different batches of food for different strains.

Anyway I'll post some pictures when I start popping some beans, I think I'm just going to put them straight into the peat pellet and let nature take its course. I'm not the most gentle person and those tap roots look awfully delicate.
