he's cute and he's also a wonderful singer. sounds just like justin beiber, magical! Yo CB i'm thinking of spacing my plants 4" apart. Do you think that is too close with this system? From the pics it looks like you could squeeze a few more in each level.

Learn by doing.
Let er rip.
If you're going to space 4" apart, you're going to HAVE to lollipop and trim the lower 1/3. allow for some air circulation.
But then again, I guess Heaths mini vert had super close spacing.
 
Im thinking about purchasing these trays from vertigrowsystems.com!
Do you know how sturdy they are?
I talked to a sales rep from vertigrow they said they are made from sturdy ABS plastic.
But though I would ask someone who is growing out of them.

they're prime.
i might try with lids and netpots next time, get uncut lids and drill the holes closer to the inside. get stems to grow inward more so i can stack these closer together.
same thing i do witht he square pots right now, but with the lids I could block out light...

It'd be cool to just full the whole tray with hydroton, but i'd be scared if i had to pull some plants. even right now, there are a couple of retards out of the bunch that are growing weird.
Sorry thats not PC......

I want to run 3 full trays next run with one 600 in the middle, and stack the trays superclose.
But I should probably focus on getting through this before i worry about the next one...first run in this system

carnt wait to see what you get from this how long did you veg them for as you obviously aint got much room to grow. i was thinking of changing from dwc system and doing 25 plants in soil, 25 cuttings not from seed
veg them for one week, then switch to flower for the 8 weeks and i was told i would get an ounce a plant off 1 600 watt
but aint to sure at the moment what to do
but would love to see what your results are with theese clown baby what you hoping for from each plant?
keep this updated which can see you are as this system looks great for me id make that
listen anyone reading this have you heard of anyone doing this with 25 plants under one 600 watt and was they getting the oz a plant or has anybody done this there self please please please let me know in this thread if you will or private message me respect in advance

Thanks, G.
I Vegged for like 2 weeks, under a 600w CAP digilux MH.
I think from now on though, I might not veg with this system.
I'm just going to pack in as many plants as I can and flower from clone.

This is my first time growing in both this system and with this strain, so I'm not sure what to expect.
I haven't heard from anyone who's grown Odyssey yet.
1/2 oz per plant would be really nice though.

I still need to dial in the environment within this tent.
Need a fan speed controller because a 6 inch inline can (CAP valuline fans) is way overkill for a 4x4x6 room.
Also need to deal with heat, because in california it's been in the 90's this past week. I don't have an AC!

But yea, hoping for around a 3/4 to a lb on this first run.
Next run I'll have temps/ventilation under control, and stack 3 full tiers rather than 2 partially full.

That'd be cool to see someone use this system with soil. very interested to see how it goes.
You could consider using a 1/2" valve in your fill/drain fittings to help with watering.

You could run 25 plants in 2 tiers, and space em out to give you more room for veg.
This thing gets really efficient when you run lots of small plants. more tiers.

NAH MATE I WAS ON ABOUT just 25 plants on the floor like with bulb over the top at the moment i do bubblers dwc but have only got just over 1 metre square but about 7 foot high so your teir thing would be even better than pputting 25 under 1 600watt but in your thing id do deep water culture and throw about 50 in if i got half a plant fuck me theres a quick 25 oz lol
carnt wait to see what you get from this you want to get one of them light movers theve got them on your link for them vertical systems its all expense though en it nice one though C-B

You're first post shows your cloner and a pink straw in it, is there a reason for that? Just curious, nice grow!

I was hoping it might be an outlet for warm air to escape.
a 400gph pump heats that water up pretty quick
