This is awesome man, You have doubled or tripled your footprint with this vertical grow.

How about this idea, That 600w cooltube with the reflector inside. You could remove the reflector and have four walls. Make one on rollers as a door. Using 100% of available light too.

Oh yea, that would be cool.

Good to hear you found the leak.

Sup cruzer!
Haha yeah im def liking that idea, it was my original plan, but then i realized i didnt have the space for it, nor the monies. After this first grow, im plannin on buying another 2 walls for the sides, but im def planning on utilizing maximum light in the future.

I dont have enough space in between the cooltube and the plants to surround it on all sides however, and the two pots closest to the bulb actually get a lil light burned, so ive left them empty.

I love the idea of these walls though, and i cant wait to step up production.

:peace:out.

Will do and welcome to the thread, Cruzer could always use a lil more of my rep :D

Yep im in 12/12 and once lights go on again tonight, i'll take some more pics, they are redonk HUGE now, and its def startin to get a lil smelly without the carbon filter.

Plants are drinkin 2 gallons a day, and i just changed out the res again. My co2 tank ran out last week and ive been slackin on goin to get the refill, so all this growth is w/out it.

The light burn is still going on with a couple of leaves, but otherwise. it can now be called a wall of green :)

:peace:out.

They're really startin to frost up, and i'm debating on going out n spendin the money on some PurpleMaxx Snowstorm at my local hydro store. Worth the money you guys think?

Lemme know what you guys think,

Wow, That looks so bad ass!
Dude, how far away is the light? I am wondering if I can do it in my cab.

Its probably got about 6 inches in between the glass of the cooltube and the foliage. But...i am running an 8inch cooltube with a S&P 8inch fan, and a 8000w btu a.c. runnin full blast to keep it under control.

Haha it may be doable, but for power bills sakes, maybe not the best idea lol.

I got a case of powdery mildew yesterday morning, and as soon as I spotted it i ran out n bought some Serenade. Gave all of the wall a good dosin at lights out, and after checkin em again this morning I couldnt find any more powdery mildew, and they look a much nicer deep shade of green.

Smelly shit, and its ruinin my cherry smell :( but i'll take it once a week over havin my crop ruined.

I'll update pictures later tonight, after i do a lil bit of lollipoppin clearin out the under foliage to get a lil better circulation.

:peace:out.

Those are the growwalls that im usin :)

Alright dude, after my 4 hour long lollipoppin sesh, all of the mildewy underleaves have been cut back. I took some pictures of the outside of the stealth cab so you could see it. I was trying to keep it a secret cuz its pretty visible from the street, but I cant help but show off.

After lights go off again im going to do one more dosage of the serenade, just to make sure i can really kick back this mildew, as i pulled off alot more than i'd hoped to.

No shit.

I thought they were much larger. I brought up the website, now I can see it.
So one wall is like three feet tall and 14 inches wide right? Thats doable!

I got 48" by 24' I could go with three along the back like you and one on each side... Put the light like yours, vertically front and center. I could increse my grow area from 8 to almost 18 feet! WOW.

I was thinking of vegging two plants on the outside and train them up a screen on the side walls then starting some in the center and flower them all but I think I like this better. It would be faster.

Now I gotta find the dam things.

Haha just lettin you know, but they do take up a wee bit more space than expected, and 24 inches front to back would be pushing it, mines 28 inches total, and im wishin i had a few more inches.

But yeah, theyre deff hard to find, and i ended up gettin em at http://www.hydrowholesale.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=hydro&Product_Code=GROWALL&Category_Code=

Maybe it'd fit in the cab using T5s instead of the HID w/ cooltube? Or are you suggesting more space because of how far out the plants grow? Could you scrog?

yeah, the plants can be expected to grow out quite a bit as well as up., and t5s could be used, but youd probably sacrifice alot of bud. I have been tossin around the scrog idea, but im not sure if its worth it because it would then be impossible to pull any one plant out afterwards.

After i have this workin, i may try it out though.

I start when the transition into flowering is visible meaning when flower clusters are visible,I have tried both foliar and in the res,and have noticed better results in the res but it is a little trickier to dial in than foliar method either way you will definitely see the difference just follow the directions and start with a lower dosage than recommended to be safe,It makes your plants uptake nutrients more efficiently so you got to lower your ppms
