I think 3' in diameter with the bulbs you mention in your post is fine. If you want, kick it up to 600W HPS. I place large plants against the outside of my trellis and train just the growing tips through, and I'm happy with my results thus far. It gives me great coverage and total control over...

I'm not hating at all, I'm more and more intrigued. Run the same soil for three runs? Neat trick, especially since it looks like you use the bags themselves as the containers! I'm in RDWC with Jacks for the consistency, price, and yes, ease of use. I do notice a difference in taste with soil...

Looking fantastic, I see a lot of common ground here between our setups. I think your bus are Frostier at this point, you have things very well dialed in indeed!

I use hydroponic methods, because they are much less effort than dealing with bags of dirt. Move a bag of dirt, or a waterpump? I'll move the pump every time! I use dry nutrient salts, such as Jacks Professional Hydroponic mix and calcium nitrate. These give consistent results and are extremely...

Checking in from FoCo. Homebrew is the source of my favorite genetics, hands down! I'm enjoying this thread as a preview of coming attractions...

Snap that pic right at lights on or lights out. Your description helped a lot. I see all that dirt and my back stats hurting, lol I'm really looking forward to watching how this develops!

I did peep your thread, and I subscribed to it. I'm excited to see how it works! I really want to see your moving light tree, too.

Looking good still far, I'm subbed to see the rest! Show me the light tree and mover? If I'm guessing correctly, you're moving the lights horizontally in a vertical garden?

I would be very interested to see more of your process. I'm not doing a lot of chopping and thinning when I run my vertical system- in fact, reduced trimming and training is one of the reasons I like it! I let my veg girls grow straight up like they were outdoors, I even crowd them slightly to...

So the final results of my very first ever vertical run were all in all very encouraging- the things that limited my yield were all pretty self evident; improper initial pruning, small initial size, excess density resulting in overcrowding. I've made corrections and the results are, well...

Have a look at how I use my 1000W bulbs in vert; https://www.rollitup.org/vertical-growing/787572-ttystikks-vertical-goodness.html

Hey, glad you liked that- the simple truth is that once you have a system for actually moving heat around your home as opposed to merely dumping it, a whole world of energy use reduction strategies become possible. An outdoor circuit running RV Antifreeze (50/50 water and propylene glycol...

You had me laughing out loud, because I'm gonna confess, I space out and do this same thing all the Damn time! Oh well, at least I'm consistent, lol! So I do the same thing, stagger my bloom rooms on a defacto flip schedule. This never overloads my breaker box, and not only am I able to spread...

I know, right? It's a sure sign you've gained a certain amount of notoriety!

Thanks for stopping in, and absolutely! This general approach leads to all sorts of specific applications, and you can certainly shave weeks off your veg if you're looking to use more plants- but frankly, not as many as you might think. It takes me 8 weeks of veg altogether, and they would only...

Sdf, whodatnation, I appreciate the kind words. I'm used to going my own way, and drawing criticism from those for whom nonconformism is automatically considered a threat- or at least a target for derision. Actually getting chased out of a forum for the heinous crime of minding my own business...

Me too. That would be a lot of larf...

A flip schedule without the flip box. I do exactly the same thing.

I liked this pic; But mom! There really ARE monsters in the basement!

Thank you, Sir! She's a beauty and she's making a name for herself.
