hear we are at about week six , they are a bit behind from the meter problems and over fert , hit them pretty hard and i dont think they will yeild anywhere near what they could have but shit happens , i will be chopping them at 9 weeks wether they are ready or not as i have some more to take thier place and im going to the snow for a week .
sorry about the bad quality pics ,theres no space in there and the phone camera sucks , but il have some better pics at harvest ,
from my experience i think i will pull 10 oz from these bitches ,give or take 2 oz

Fuck it bro,a yield is a yield. As ling as you get something out of them then it definitely is not a waste.

I think that you're going to end up being very surprised at the yield you get. You're still weeks away from finish.

Google (image) search for a diagram that shows the useable light coverage area comparing a vert setup, and a standard light from above grow. It made it perfectly clear to me real fast, lol.
If u got a 1000w light, u got wut, 18" light penetration? So from above u got, 4-5' by 4-5' of solid grow area, 18" deep.
But hang that light vertically in the middle of the room... Now you got a circle, all the way around, with 18" light penetration.
Let the plants grow into the screen so they dont burn, and to support them, takes the scrog method, and makes the most use of light/area.

Well basically majority of light coming out of a mh or hps bulb comes out the sides and in a horizontal grow only about 30% of the light comes directly from the bulb to the plant , the rest either hits the reflector and then hits the plants or misses the plants completely ,
In a good vertical grow about 90% of the light comes directly of the bulb to the canopy allowi g for much higher efficiency and more yield
Another eg is a 600w bulb will cover 1.1 m2 in a horizontal grow , thats about 15 ft square
A vertically hung bulb with a 360 degrees canopy will have
0.9 diameter x 3.14 (pi) x0.9 hieght = 25 sq ft of canopy
That = a whole lot more buds ,
Also its much easier to vent heat out of a growroom with a vert setup.
Therefore my calculations conclude that vertical growing is the shit , and I wont be going back to horizontal

im not to sure on that last grow i had no shade so i had no option but to run it vert i did very well just over a p from 4 plants on a vert this time around i got my shade every thing the same bar the shade this time so not running vert but long ways in the batwing shade by the look of em 5 weeks into im gunna kill that last vert grow by about pound and a half but then again a few factors came into play like space and the lights being a little closer

I mean I have everything ready to go just don't know how to grow the plant vertical. I'm used the the traditional method of the plants growing under the my hid

What stage are your plants at now and how many do you have?

I have 10 plants all female still under veg hrs that were cloned from my flowering mothers! I'm still trying to decide what method I'm gonna take with the offspring I wanna scrog some and I also wanna try to grow a few vertically, only thing is I would have to rearrange my entire grow room and I just don't have that energy. I work around the clock to get these mothers what they need I have 8 that are in flower now so I have no room currently. So I have a total of 18 plants plus I have 7 more clones (not counting the clones) because they haven't rooted yet so my plate is kinda full. I hope I'm making since all in all I have a lot of plants.

Yeah that sounds like a full plate alright , I run everything on pumps and timers as im often away for work, I guess you probably have to prepare your grow from the start for vertical ,
One good thing about vertical is you can stack bulbs and use the full hieght of the grow room , I know of a guy who gets 3Lb per run with 1.2x1.2 x 2m with 2 x 600w bulbs inside a screen with 6 plants around the outside. Im copying this setup and have almost finished building my wardrobe . It would be worth considering if this sort of grow would suit you , especially if space is a problem, its pretty low maintainance aswell once you setup a res with pump and timer, can leave alone for a week at a time maybe more.
Anyway heres the thread , have a read

Results are in amigos , the sensi northern lights yielded 6.5 oz dried and cured
The biggest ww x bb yielded 5.5 oz
And the smaller ww x bb which I chopped before it was ready so I had smoke on my holiday yielded 3 oz so a total of 15 oz + 5 grams of absolute shatter hash from the trim and stems in a room with fuckall reflectivity and I overnuted them to the shit house and temps that were quite cold so all in all a pretty dam good result that blew my previouse 600w grows out of the water
Harvest pics soon guys sorry bout the delay

Smoke report ........both strains are amazing smoke
The white widow x big bud is a real creeper high that leaves me retarded eventually , smells like dirt and skunk
The sensi nl smells fruity and hits hard and continues to creep , both great plants and would grow Either again
