Looks great Dr. Gruber!!!

Keep kickin ass dude, I want to see some big colas in 6 weeks!

Also with a vert grow, now is the time to clean up any popcorn growth that wont amount to anything, it will give more energy to the main branches and increase your yield. Dont worry it wont stunt them or anything, just clip off all the little inside shoots that dont get much light. It will also improve your airflow thru the plant. I did that on my last run and seen a huge difference. And dont be afraid to get that bulb close, with my 1000's I can get about 12-14" without problem.

Best of luck, I'll be watchin!!

Thanks!

Thanks for the info....i will keep it in mind for sure. I have them about 6 inches at the closest with my 400 watt bulbs, and since i have 2 of them hung one under the other it seems that i have a lot of light getting through to the lower parts of the plant.

Plant #1 day 29

My new flower room is complete minus a few details and the plants are now in there with the new 600 watt HPS along with 2-400 watt hps all hung vertically.

Plant # 2 day 29....

The smell is the same on both of these. I do not smell any fruit at all, more of an earthy/ dank smell. Its changed in the last few days so im sure it will change some more. When i rub a stem it smells of poop. Still not a lot of smell coming off these yet, i have to get right up on the buds to get anything.

Looks good man and you still have like 30 days left of flowering! How was the stretch on these two? According to the Doc, G-13 can double/triple after flip...

After the flip one of them has grown about ten inches and the other about 15. I measured them a few days ago and thats what i remember them as anyway; i could be wrong by a few inches though. They have really bushed out though and one of them is pretty huge right now.

Awesome. So two months from seed got you 27" and then the flower stretch got you another 10-15". I gotta plan for coverage. How wide are these monsters?

Plant 1 is now 25 .5 inches tall from the dirt line, 36.5 from the floor. It is 25 inches wide at the base of the plant. I put this one into flower at 18.5 inches tall from the dirt line.

Plant 2 is 43 inches tall from the dirt and 52 from the floor. 37 inches wide.
it went into flower at 27 inches from dirt line.

Great info, thanks for taking the measurements! This helps a lot!

Given the size of these, I bet you're pretty happy with your "going vertical" decision.

Well real g 13 or not I gotta say this is pretty impressive.

Great looking plants. this info helps me a lot to get my veg size dialed in, I need them to finish around 48x48. Just 4 more weeks of veg to go for me.
Looks like these might turn out to be the real thing

Doobius1 · May 15, 2011

Wonder how may naysayer's have secretly picked up the phone and ordered these based on your grow? lots I bet. Lookin great Doc!

SCARHOLE · May 15, 2011

Hey Dr Gruber,
Are the Vertical lights still making you feel sick?
Did you get used to them?

gettogro · May 15, 2011

Hey doc, I was wondering if you could take a close up shot your fan leaves next time you post pics. I would like to compare leaf structure to the origonal DD's cut. Like a side by side. I have a pic posted in my thread of the DD's cut.

peace

I was wondering the same...but not based on my grow, just natural curiosity. But thanks, I hope this does inspire someone.
