Subbed. I am almost ready to begin flower in an 1800 watt (3x600w) CAP ebb and grow bucket system with 18 sites- 6 Blue Dream and 12 J1 (Jack herrer). All three bulbs will be hanging vertically, with the trellis being a 6'x6'x6' inverted semisphere. I'm hoping to get it so tall the buds block out most of the light ;). I cut my clones about a month ago and here they are now.

Are you keeping them in those Biggie/Big Mama cubes the entire grow? I have a friend who uses that technique in Cali. His "ish" is Fire! I haven't seen the whole process though. But I have seen in demo a system where the cubes were in a tub that would fill and drain. Seems legit. I haven't tried it myself.

I recently fitted my ladies with metal wire fencing on one side of the bucket and fed them through so as to create a vertical canopy on one side. I have to fit my other 3 ladies with wire but once I do I am going to turn my 1000 watt hps vertical for sure. I am going for a circle of plants with the canopy facing inwards. I suspect it will really kick things up a notch. In another 10 days I am going to add my 600 watt hps as well for a total of 1600 watts hps in my 6x5 tent. I can't wait to show some pics once I finish the set up.

Vert allows for some serious quantity. Like 600-700g per plant. Works well with limited plant numbers.

And I just noticed my ducting is crooked. Hard to see in there now.

A great technique for maximizing your vert canopy is to "Vine" the branches across the trellis. Pull each site through to get direct light exposure. Just keep doing that. So not the whole branch through but along the trellis allowing each bud site access to light. "Train them when they are young" -said the wise man

I just topped once most have 5 to 6 branches. On the remaining branches I have trimmed out from the stem about 3 sets of branches deep to avoid a million of those annoying lower branches. It's pretty much trimmed up to where the branches begin to alternate. And all of them are fed into the front of the fence. Also I have a Carbon filter on a 560 cfm fan inside the tent that cools the light and vents out of the room. The room itself has a hepa filter intake as well as another hepa filter running just in the room.

ohhhh shit that makes perfect sense. This did not start with the intent of a vert so they aren't well pruned for it. Being dwc makes I hard to put them in a trellis until later since I have to swap buckets. If I could start them in the trellis it would would out much better I think.

I actually was considering doing something like a rdwc. Seems like a good option where I don't have enough to haul an ass load of buckets all over the place all the time. My back can't handle much more of this black bucket dwc business.
