Hello my fellow vert growers. I missed growing vertical and been away for a minute trying different forms of growing. So now I am back. Still have yet to match the cola sizes I got with my first vertical grow (1st grow period)
Strains:
Dr. GreenThumb = G13 x Chemdawg
G13 Labs = Raw Diesel
Sannies = Killing Fields, JackBerry x Mad Scientist, Candy Kush (Eskobar)

Set-Up:
4x4x7 Tent
1 600w HPS
1 600w MH
1 8" Can Fan

Media and Nutrients:
Plants are being grown in Coco with a wee bit of perlite added. Plan on feeding them Twice a day.
Foliage Pro from start to finish with a bit of liquid Kool Bloom to start.
 
I will post pictures up a bit later. I have a few questions. I have a 3x3 flood table I want to use it to make automated feeding along with waste collection easier. Will it be too much to put 8 plants in there? The plants are in 3 gallon pots by the way.
 
The progress that's been made. They are in the second week of flower.

Looking good drek! I will follow this thread with great interest. it's very similar to my next setup. I will probably use cool tubes to keep the temperature down. Temperature in my grow room is 82 degrees with the cooltubes. Your plants looks very healthy so I´m considering barebulb. What's the temperature in your grow room?

Ranges from 75f to 82f lights on and 63f to 67f lights off. I bring cool air in directly from outside.

@Sativied has a thread about a blumat product that will help you to figure out exactly when your pots need watering, and will help you to figure out how much.

Check it out.

It's funny the two of you mention the Blumats. I actually have the patio version of them from a few years ago. I liked them but I just like the drippers a bit more. I will revisit the Blumats in the future though.
 
Pulled the 1 Raw Diesel lady from my SCROG horizontal garden and ended up with 7.5 oz dried from the lady. Not bad given that all I do is grow a mother plants for clones and then just stick them under a screen.

Blumats

What I mentioned isn't a watering system, its a pressure monitor for your pots.

It sits in the pot and tells you when the pot needs watered.

It can help you dial in the automatic watering system by telling you when your soil is over or under saturated, and by how much. So you'll be able to dial in the volume and frequency of each watering.


I'm definitely thinking about buying one!

It actually is a watering system. I have the patio version and had it for years. The ceramic carrot is what releases the valve when the media dries out to water the plant. I guess it is pressure based as well. You will get pretty cool root formation at the top of the pot where the water drips from. I had mine set up elevated with a reservoir and an overflow to keep the pressure constant. You will enjoy it for sure. Be sure to keep your ec/ppm low. I do growing as a hobby and love trying different grow methods. Still have yet to try SOIL though. Haha:bigjoint:

No, click the thread I linked bro, I'm not talking about the watering system. I'm talking about another blumat product.

It is pressure based. What I'm talking about will give you the pressure reading. Check it out.

Its a carrot attached to a pressure sensor, not a carrot attached to a dripper.

Apologies on that. I am about to check it out now.

No worries brother! I suggested it because it'll give you a number telling you how saturated the pot is. Using that number, and keeping track of it over time and also how much you're watering will help you to dial in the auto watering system you wanna set up.
