Ttystikk's vertical goodness

[autolaise]

Very nice garden. Thanks for taking all this time to share your grows. I want to grow outdoors on the roof which I can hide fairly well if I keep it low, 30 inches max and it decreases because the roof is like a V. Your v screens are impressive and "big".
Dude, all you do is grow great weed. If you want a holiday, great honor to look after your garden. Just ask.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay;

I toke all night and I grow all day!

How long is your total grow times ? - veg times and flower times - Thanks, never seen one such as that - looks like a Sativa strain? Side lighting does wonders , your picture prove that !!

Well, that gets us in the ball park. Wouldn't be any fun to grab a fully fired up 1K HID bulb----ouch!

IMO, heat removal is one of most difficult challenges we indoor boys face----especially south of Mason-Dixon.

A~~~

Here's another data point to consider; I'm the only grower I know who runs 5400W of lighting in a 6 x 12' box- and has trouble keeping it warm enough.

Holy shiiiitttt, man.....my brothers NEVER grew anything that looked like that! It's got a friggin trunk with intersecting crotches like a tree!

Hot damn....

Why, thank you @Big_Lou!

For scale, the trellis panels are 4" squares.

I've pulled 32oz from one plant in the last COB LED run, looking to do something similar with at least one or two this run as seen in these pics- and then making it a consistent occurrence going forward, because that's what we do!

Fresh cutting to chop day is roughly 5 months, sometimes a bit longer. With the switch to Tupur, a coco perlite mix with compost, from RDWC and other bare root hydroponic methods, we may cut those times a bit. By the looks of things thus far it may improve the performance and consistency of yields as well.

If not at the north pole-----care to provide details?

What kind of lighting?

I use a small, DIY cloner. Its is kept in a small cabinet in my bedroom. Its just a DWC cloner, nothing fancy. I change the water once a week. Room temps are 70-76 daily. I've never had a problem. I've had some strains take forever, but no root rot,etc

I went to school on the methods of a guy who gets great success.

 

[pop22]

If the efficiency of his LEDs is 54% and lets say an HID is 34%. The means 54% of the electricity used creates photons, and 46% is heat. Right there is 20% less heat than HID when comparing at equal wattage.

I got right around 1gpw as well. There's no doubt that the potential exists for higher numbers.

A single ended HID lamp runs at 300F or more at the surface. My modules are cool enough to touch, so it's hard for me to make such a comparison.

My clone zone was much warmer and I couldn't cool the whole space. The tub and cold water circuit is a highly effective solution.

Had some issues with the King cloner at first, just less water in it (than my DIY cloner) and had it sitting on concrete so water temps were too low, making the rooting process slower like up to 4 weeks at first. Once I put it on a Styrofoam pad I was able to keep water temps between 71-74F with the pump on 24/7. I also mix 50/50 tap water which is very high in chlorine and filtered water with the chlorine removed. Now they're now rooting within 8-15 days again. Always have some in there and change up the water every 2 weeks, back to normal. It's critical for me to have reliable clones as I don't keep mother's.



This is where the overall environment sits now, they're happy, I'm happy

RH is low in my clone zone, forties usually. Water is between 69-72. EC with Clonex sauce is 1.0. PH is 6.0.

Looks like I'm gonna be busy for a minute.

 

[zep_lover]

so you are doing runs with cmh lighting also?or are you finishing with them ?looks good either way!

Wall of Buds!!!

This is the other room, yes. Lighting is old school magnetic ballasts driving 5 x 860W CDM Allstart lamps. It will be converted to COB LED eventually. Meanwhile it just keeps chugging along...

 

[BM9AGS]

Damn man. Makes me want to try vert.

 

[BM9AGS]

Why, thank you @Big_Lou!

For scale, the trellis panels are 4" squares.

I've pulled 32oz from one plant in the last COB LED run, looking to do something similar with at least one or two this run as seen in these pics- and then making it a consistent occurrence going forward, because that's what we do!

Can I see a pic of this beast?

It's the one at the far end in the bottom pic;

The one at the near end went its usual 9 1/2 weeks (great movie, btw) and is pictured here, waiting for its turn in the trim room;

Happy 4th!

The plants look awesome brother. Ive got 16 happy seedlings, awaiting #17 to pop up with 2 which will come down within the next month. These seedlings have already been through few weeks worth of shitty weather and high winds so they should be well strong to explode (hopefully).
