Yep I think so too. Can't wait lol. Haven't been like this since I first started. It's like doing it all over again. Only thing I regret is I should have gotten a bigger res. They drink the 20 gallons in less then a week.

pretty good man. just been chillin and tryin to find another job. waiting for my buds to be ready. cant wait. they drink alot of water. over 20 gallons a week lol. i should have gotten a bigger trash can to use but ill be fine cause i let these go too long in the first place i think, but we will see. i think i should have vegged shorter less plants and spread the branches out more to increase light in there. ill be doing some changes next time. not sure if ill do vert cause idk if my air conditioner will cool the room during spring and summer months. its a 10k btu but its a 8x10 room

Not much change... I prolly won't post pics until they're done or until they swell up at least. Next time I think I'm going to use one of the blue kiddie pools veg until 12 inches and then flower, and put a 10 inch cage for my bulb in the middle. Not sure how many plants. Also thinking if I decide to veg longer, to use a light mover. I'm not sure what the total length would be when finished but I'm thinking 2 feet tall, so a light mover might even be beneficial with the shorter veg. My room is big enough, I could have 2 setup like this, so I might get another 600w light and not use the 400w. Also going to figure out what to get to control the room as best as possible. Right now the temps fluctuate a lot.. 80 highest and lowest is 53. Plus during summer when I use ac, I don't want my ac running 24/7 if it doesn't have to. But if I run my lights at night, I could continue to use outside air but I'm not sure how that would work.. I live in north east and summer nights get cool but not cold. Just getting ideas together cause these big plants honestly are a pain in the ass.. Hopefully I'll get a good harvest cause I might do it again with shorter veg bigger saucers idk yet...

i actually got 10 ounces from them all. even as immature they were, it was still awesome smoke. would have prolly got double if i wouldnt have had to pull early.. anyways, im getting out of the spare bedroom and going back into my 5x5 closet. going to still use vertical wall of weed method, im thinking inside of a kiddie pool. maybe 6-8 plants in my 3 gallon containers coco hempy style. this time im gonna add coarse perlite im gonna use a digital cooling controller for my ac and fans. im also gonna get genetics this time. i also want a cylinder around the lights in the kiddie pool. i do have plans on using both the 600 and the 400w again. Im hoping i will be able to get hortilux hps bulbs for both of them to flower. my plan is to veg with the 600w mh, and flower with the total 1000w. i think im still gonna stick to the maxibloom and calmag for my nutes. thought about trying vertical like this, only with organic soil but i got so much coco left so im just gonna use it... this jornal is opened aagain and im up for all advice. i want to tank the few people on here for sticking by be, giving me all the advice etc...

Well. Here's the post I made on my vertical thread...
Thinking of a new vert idea. After having to rip my first vert grow up early due to wanting to expand on a spare bedroom I've decided just stick with my 5x5 closet with built in window. Now I'm still staying with the vert and wall of weed coco hempy. While I liked kiss feeding with maxibloom, I couldn't really get the shit to dissolve. So I'm looking for alternatives. Now I had 3 gallon pots and plan to keep using them as well. Gonna add coarse perlite in a 5:1 coco perlite mix. I had issues last time with the saucers over flowing so I'm thinking of using a kiddie pool? One of then plastic ones? Would like some opinions on that. I had some leaves burn last time too so I'm thinking about making a wire cylinder for my lights to go in and to keep the leaves not so close. I'm thinking 12-24 inches. I use two lights last time aswell. A 600w and a 400w. They were side by side. This time I'm thinking of stacking them vertical bare bulbs. 400w at the bottom 600w at the top. I've always used bag seeds and I think I'm gonna go with female seeds c 99 this time 2 seeds and clone like 6 times each plant and just keep under t5 light somewhere lol. I had shit bulb brands but I think I'm gonna buy two hortilux bulbs for the lights. I'm defiantly going to get a cooling controller for my ac. Basically just looking for ideas to make this time better then last time.
The closet I'm in has no.door but I'm just gonna use poly plastic and velcro. That's all I can think of. Any info appreciated. Would love to be like a pro. Forgot to mention I'm gonna swap the 400 to another 600 next grow. Upgrading can't be done at this time lol.
