Club Vert(600)

Just tried what I call an 'all chest no ass' supercrop experiment on the smaller of my Bodhi SSDD girls. All fans pointing forward like spirit fingers too lol.

and the bigger one...pollinated and supercropped the top.

Gotta stay one step ahead. lol I hope you missed my soil grows.

And I hope it all works out for you. I enjoy growing like this and am glad for Heath Robinson for showing me a good setup to copy. Glad I could pass on the torch in some way.
 
I'll post pix tomorrow on what the 860w CMH has done in 12/12fs. First time vert and 12/12 from seed. I'm expecting around 2 zips a plant. Beautiful pink hairs and denseness right before swell. This bulb is no joke, but I'm going to needs a mover. Big over/under dead spots.
 
Whodat. How do like the home depot buckets? It seems only vert growers use them these days. Ironically large plastic pots cost more than fabric pots now...
 
Wow I see you have upper and lower shelves where plants seated in circular pattern around wire cage. So it acts as a natural trellis you keep sticking all branches back in side and the raising of the light keeps growing up around to it?


Cool how many plants around each trellis?

I've run these very same buckets in a horizontal set-up, they do real good at holding soil either way. Thats funny about the fabric pots being cheaper :-) Only thing I really dont like about the fabric pots is if the soil is even slightly on the dry side water just pours out of the sides. Id honestly use a plastic container over them just for that reason. Otherwise they are very useful in root development and storage.
Actually on that grow ^^^ I had some fabric pots on the lower levels.

Yeah the screen is 3ft in diameter, the plants are just trained/supported on it, the plants always have a natural tendency to grow upwards though it did influence some of the small side branches to eventually develop into main cola type branches. I used lots of wire pieces like hooks to try and keep the canopy from growing into the bulb, def took some attention and time but thats why I do it.
There are two levels with six plants on each so 12 containers per light. Im changing things up this next round.
 
Wish I had the room to build that Hazy Susan type set up. I really believe and prefer to super cropping toward light and tucking if needed. SCROG can get in the way of moving pots out if needed IMO. So damn creative tho. Wonder what strain made you think of that architectural masterpiece?!

I love the idea of layers and a light mover. Geopots just came out with some nice fabric raised beds you could do in a square around bulb. Just another thought.

Time me to look into that light mover link. Thanks.
 
Yeah scrog totally gets in the way of being able to move your plants around lol <<< that is actually the entire reason/purpose of the hazy suzan,,, so I can gain access to the plants in the back. I honestly just love all types of growing, when Im not scroging Im always pulling my plants out and moving them around and stuff, but scrog is just superior canopy management for sure,,, and nothing is sexier than a perfect canopy!

Haha what was I smoking when I thought of it? Well that would have to consist of everything Iv smoked over the past 11 years :-) but It was probably some nugs from my "back at it" journal. It was like a eureka moment though, hit me on another restless night brainstorming grow set-ups when I should be counting sheep lol... I will say though~~~ I was definitely stoned! bongsmilie

and we are not? :eyesmoke:

I was wondering if this can be done inverted. That is pots still upright so you have gravity drainage however pots above trellis and train to grown down. So you could effectively stand under the buckets somewhat and train branches to grow down and around? Leave a foot or two clearance of ground so you can roll under and inside to maintain:eyesmoke:

It would be one hell of a battle tying things downward as everything wants to go upward. I know just tying my bottom branches down to be horizontal is a pain as I'm fighting their natural tendencies. Would be a whole TON of work to train them all down, but I'm sure it would 'work'.
 
roots organics pots are cheap as shit n work awsome...always wanted to try two plants in one pot but ive heard horror stories

To which I say, F it, throw caution into the wind and try it yourself. I would try different formulas in regards to plants to pot size.

Say if you typically grow in a 5 gal, then do 1.5 x 5 so that would be a 7 gal since you won't find a 7.5. Then do 2.x for a 10 gallon pot and see how your plants do sharing those different sizes.

Your only concerns I know of is possible root bound (so this limit size), root disease which any plant can get but hard to isolate in a shared soil container.

The only one I think that will really matter will be the challenge to you to keep the soil web full of available nutrition since you're feeding for two not one.

what if i went with say a 10 gallon pot to rule out ne problems...thinking of a way to have more plants but remain in my limit
