    If the plants are small, definitely reduce nutrient strength. I'm not familiar with this nutrient line, I'm sure someone in the nutrients section will be happy to help you!

    I'll make it a point to take you up on that, as long as said spliff hasn't any of that dodgy tobacco stuff in there...

    Hey ttystikk. Wondering if you have a diy build for your res chiller you can share?

    I bought chillers instead of trying to convert AC units myself. The heat exchange coil I use in the RDWC is just a 15' length of half inch copper hvac pipe.

    I had as of yet been pondering on the small wine cooler/mini fridge DIY and trying to explore options without external coils/pumps. I dont want to keep freezing bottles. In the end, it seems counterproductive at best.

    I see your name constantly in the Vert Grow section, just wondering if I can pick your brain when you get a chance!

    So, I have a room - I think it's like 8x11. We currently have a horizontal setup with 2 1000w bulbs, with 7 plants under it... They're doing alright, but we're looking for yield, and thats where I feel like vert comes in.
    Combing through your posts, I saw that you put your plants on the outside of the fence, and pull the buds though. Here's what I'm thinking:

    Leaks suck, brother. PM me a link to your grow thread and I'll see what I can do to help out.

    tystikk, I think you might be the one to ask this. Two questions: 1) How large a diameter should I make the screen that I will place between the VERTICAL light and the plants? 2) Should I use MH in veg or use HPS to encourage taller growth instead of wider growth? 2x600w HID lights in 48" cooltube

    This is gonna be a nice run- I think you'll be good with a four foot diameter by either four or five feet high. That's fifty to sixty five square feet. I'd try running four plants first and see how that works out. Definitely to the plants once early in veg to produce 4 meristems of the main one.

    I am currently running an HPS thouie in my final pre trellis veg, specifically to give lots of penetration to keep the entire plant healthy from to to bottom- and to encourage some lankiness and stretch so it jumps onto the trellis better. No more MH bulbs, they're shit. Use CDM instead for bloom, see my thread.
