A big thanks to all of you who posted your comments :mrgreen:, the weights are for dry bud and the seeds were bought from Dr chronic. As I understand it the next batch of CM seeds will be available later this year.

The spacing of the lamps were L=Lamp P=Plant so the middle bulb does the work of 2 lamps in effect you are getting free light.

Hi FLoJo, great to see you running a vertical I have had great results with the same design, I will pop over to your thread and have a look.

Here is my latest design it uses one 600w bulb and one pump and holds 72 plants.

Holy shit man. youve really got your act together. whenever someone asks for a good strain i always point them in this direction. the best grow ive seen on rollitup. by far.
were you away for a while?

hey heath, i have always wondered what nutes and schedule you use? i remember on hg420 (where i copied your rack setup) you had plants in all different stages of growth being fed the same nutes and the same amounts.. do you use the same feeding regimine for all of your systems or do you change it up a bit depending on method of growing and whatnot?

i believe its just a bulb connected to a ballast without a hood, tube or reflector... more efficient and costs less!

cheers dannyking thanks for calling in.


Hi Flojo I use an EC of 1 to 1.2 in veg and an EC of 1.2 to 1.4 in flower. A little tip is to keep using the veg nutrients for 14 days when you first switch to 12/12. this helps prevent premeture leaf drop and yellowing later in flower.

Because I dont change the nutrient concentrations I feed during the grow its easy for me to run a perpetual grow. The only difference is I add 10% veg nutrients to the flower nutrients, again this is to help prevent premature yellowing and leaf drop later in the grow.


Hey snooopdave as flojo mentioned its just a bulb and holder, in this case its one from an aircooled shade but I normally just hang the bulb and socket nothing fancy required.

interesting.. so you run just veg nutes for the first two weeks, then continue to put 10 percent veg nutes throughout the cycle? do change the dosage at all or keep the flowering nutes the same? i mean like increasing concentrations of pk and decreasing n? also do you flush the last 2 weeks as well?

I probably confused you there FLoJo, on normal grows I run the veg nutes for two weeks into flower. On perpetual grows I cant do that so I add 10% veg nutrients to the bloom nutrients. In both cases I keep the EC constant, I have no need to flush as the nutrient concentrations are low.

ahhh ok that makes more sense there... what nutes do you use? gh, advanced, botanicare? any added bosters or anything like that?

I usually use Canna, Ionic or Vitalink, there shouldn't be any real need for boosters or flower enhancers they are only any use if your grow is deficient in nutrients for some reason. If you want to use a booster use something like PK 13/14 as its very cheap and could be used as a belt and braces approach if you feel that your grow might be lacking something. Otherwise the standard nutrients should be more than good enough.

I dont use CO2 its not worth the hassle for me.

The vert is cooled by a fan which points up and is laid on its back facing up through the vertical. The pictures are firstly of the vertical before the plants are in it and it now has the lamp stand removed, and the second pic is taken looking up from the bottom of the vertical and you can just see the top of the fan.
