DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

Handy, don't think my wife would agree...hahaha. But when it comes to putting together something cheap and workable for my girls, that's a different question. For my next run I think I will be sticking with my current set up, just tweaking a bit regarding shelf growing. Still going through that in my mind. I just love the thought of the rotating system....but I am trying to utilise gravity without it at the moment.

Rhizotonic, I am pretty happy with it, it does seem to do what it says on the tin. Within the first couple of weeks you get nice root systems developing....I haven't done a side by side but I am waiting on some new seeds so could be done with them (just not sure if I want to experiment with these seeds to be honest.) We sahll see. What are you using yourself CAashtree?

I reckon those strains are def both stretchy, have a look at my other journal, the OGK vs the Headband, man the OGK was twice the height 2 weeks into flowering, so good for LST/Super Cropping. It does slow down though. The OG's are not very good with mildew though! How have you found your LA's?

Edit: I will throw up a pic of the anasazi OG Kush, the one I have trained to grow horizontally. It looks mad now....

Well CAshtree, Westy, Jig,

Since this is a private show, I just wanted to share an update of one of my favourite girls, just because she looks as mad as a box of frogs
At first I wasn't happy with the coco bag set up, next grow is going to be different as far as that is concerned. I was worried about them not getting enough light when they where small, so I figured I would put them in on a slant like they are, but not sure this was the best idea with the weight of the coco above on top of the roots, and being watered from above (adding weight) But this girl has battled through, and the other 3 are getting there (2 more OG's, and a Headband.) But anyway, back to my fav girl. It's like a little row of trees that are growing along it...like an Avenue of bud,...in progress. Next time I will put a lego figure in, hahaha (yes I got some in the house - haha)

So here she is,
"Anazasi OG Kush HORIZONTAL vertical markI"







Isn't she cool

Peace, DST

My thinking is the only thing that is going to get pressure with gravity (more than normal) is the main branch. If you look at the Omega videos, the plants are put under gravity manipulation, causing growth strengthening and growth speed increase. So hopefully that branch is gonna fatten up nicely as the grow develops...so in other words, I want to ideally not support with ties for as long as possible. Hope you understand what I am taking about...just had a bong, think i'll have another and then meandor off to bed. Take it easy out there....

Peace, DST

kind like its adapted to growing this way now huh ?
its bed time already.. its only 6pm here

cool indeed and i was wondering the same thing as mr west...how do you support those ladies around week 7? im alternating leftover organics right now. one feeding is biobizz bloom, next is gen hydros General Organic bloom and marine(i think its called marine...). i also give em humic acid. im gonna be switching over to coco when theyre done, ill be using canna coco a/b. which is why i was asking about the rhizo. think ill be going cheap-style and just doing the a/b and pk13/14. rhizo and boost are pretty pricey...

fink i do m8 lol be intresting to watch lol. Nernight

Just keep it simple indeed. the rhizotonic is just an extra. The pk13/14 is the nuts (I am using BioNova on htat). I have also just bought special cloning and rooting soil, along with some new coco, and a small 60x60 tent (ordered) for veg purposes.

cheers for the visits, this time DST has left the....forum (for the evening)

This was playing on my sterio wen i read the I&I friends thing lol

Oh yeh baby Kool and the G!!!!

The Anasazi OG girls is out of this world. Maybe it's because I'm from so cal... but I imagine one of those streets that's just lined with palm trees, all in a row.

Just stunning. And she's still young yet. She is going to be a blast to watch getting older.

About the string... I think you may need one to brace it, not to hold it up... but to hold the plant/ bag combination up. I'm thinking that girl may get fat enough to bring the whole bag with her to the floor... you may need a safty string to hold the plant up from that... (not becuase she is too weak).

Looking great bro. Sorry I don't stop by as much... I'm addicted to the club.

I was thinking the same from the start, T aslo mentioned that as well way back when....I have some small octopus leads, I may connect these either side of the bag to hold it against the wall...or I can possibly tie round the whole bag and shelf. Will start to look into that.

Got my veg tent today, I thought that was very quick!!! So more planning ahead.

It's good to have a prive thread to the side, lol.

peace, DST

Haha Jig, I hear ya on those long avenues lined with faux-tropical palms.

D, what can I say? Looks amazing, of course. And inspiring, as always. You're like uh, ole' faithful here on the forum. Glad to be along for the ride.

live and direct from the engine room,
peace

What would a ship be without an Engine room lad?

I got my veg tent delivered yesterday (2 days from the UK from order - very speedy indeed) and the way I am feeling about my work just now I think I may spend some time putting it together today. We shall see. Updates at some point. Having wars with the humidity just now.

People who been to the DAm probably know why, but I plan on taking a pic to show you exactly why I am having humidity issues (if I get time to go and take the picture (I need to go to the town hall to do it.)

Thanks for the visits guys (good to see T and Scotty back on board)

Peace, DST

Id imagin u gety plenty of fog from the canals, fog and mist. It must be like being back home sometimes wen ya canny see 2 feet in front of ya nose lol.

Evening Mr West.

My new veg tent, DSsixTy(60)

She's 60x60x140. The extra base that came with it is missing its reflective material. It was £54 so i am not moaning (much...)
