1k watt Vert Grow.

Thanks caveman. You do not have to convert all at once.. Just put on of your bulbs vertical in the middle and leave the other two horizontal. IMO that is the best way to go.
I missed the initial question. I'm curious how this helps when there's a fan REQUIRED in the center, along with plants and then...horizontal lights along the perimeter. Are the horizontals in-line cooled?

Is this transitional to all Vert Grow... or are you suggesting a combination of the Vert/Horizontal? I'm prolly missing something. Thanks.




When i harvest i strip the plants of all big sun leaves, or anything without trichomes . I then hang it in individual branches about 20" in length. Then once they feel dry on the outside i place them in a brown paper bag for about a day. Then they go into jars, usually my buds are dry enough to keep them closed for 3 days. Then i check them daily.
Once checking in the jars, do you burp for a period each day? If so, for how long? When do you stop burping? Also, is humidity in jars an issue?

Cheers

SB ... or anyone, What is "need" spray? And, what is coco surface? Thanks.

Cheers,

Slab was right on this one, I meant NEEM.. and the coco surface means the top of the coco inside of the pot..Sometimes my phone auto corrects shit..

You do not NEED a fan blowing up at the bulb, it is just ideal. What you do need though is proper air exchange to keep things within the ideal temperature range. I have another room with two six hundreds up top and one 1k watt in the middle... Like this [] O [] squares are hoods and the circle is the vertical.. The six hundred's are NOT air cooled. I have an 8'' max fan sucking air out of the room to keep it at 78 during lights on.

You curing is all about just the FEEL, if you know what I mean.. If the buds feel damp/wet you air them out. If they feel dry you close em up. I stop burping when the feel dry enough to me, you can get a small hygrometer and put in in there to monitor humidity. Google this: A perfect cure every time. It is a great way for new growers to learn the curing process.
 
well, I suppose, but your light management seems weak. You actually have a FAN in direct line of sight of the bulb!!! NOT good.

Light needs to go to leaves and ONLY leaves.
 
bde, the size of a filter does 2 things. Doubling the size of a filter will both double its life AND vastly reduce its airflow resistance. There's NEVER any reason to not buy the biggest filter you can (other than the REAL solution, which is to build one yourself and use raw charcoal to reload, thus saving you tons of bucks)

.7 but this next grow will tell the truth...
Don't think GPW is a fair assessment considering your plant and space limitations. Get the sq footage of your space minus the area where the fan.
Ounces per sq ft would show how productive you are with the space you are using.

Have you considered 5 gal or 7 gallon pots for upping yields, or would that not give you the control of feeding schedule that you prefer?

Neem oil. Thanks to Slab and you.

then, canopy is still all same level vs. the arena-type w/ vertical...

or, option to lift 600's.......

pics would be cool, if you find the time. Thank you.

I might do five gal. In there, it is worth a shot.. I just would only be able to run 4 max i think.. But if it ups the yield then it is worth it. The biggest contributing factor to yield imo is veg time...

Agreed. Going to try root spin out paint in 1 gals. Myself. Perhaps that will work for you.

Hope swine problem passes for you,good luck.
