Pyro's Vertical rdwc

Oh nooo... Bummer man...
I wonder if you could remove the clones and stick some tomato plants, or other veggie in the slots and just go with that..


Set your girls in tubs with airstones for the day...

not sure of your situation, but that's the first thing that came to mind...

best of luck bro!

Gypsy, you're close.

Basically, the big room I have up I'm going to keep up. I'm also a guitar builder, so I'm going to grab a few unfinished guitar bodies and bring the up. On the day of the inspection, I'm going to hang them up and stage the plastic room as a spray booth. Certain finishes and stuff stink super bad, so I'll probably spray one to give a good smelly effect. They won't need to go into the room, so I'm leaving my RDWC set up, and keeping it in there.

I'm going to take all my plants in flowering and chuck them into 5 gallon buckets with air stones for the day. It's going to be a major fucking bitch, but I hope to any God I don't believe in that I get away with it.

I hate growing illegally, it's a serious stress source.

How did it go?

Hey Man just read through your grow and the set up is nice and innovative. I liked the vertical scrog on that plant you did also. Im more of a scrog guy myself.

I did want to point out or ask about that tri-meter though. It seems like I have the same one and I personally would not trust it. I have a blue lab truncheon and a eco ph testr before hand and i seen that for a good price so i bought it. I calibrated it and everything else and it just does not give any where near accurate readings to my other testers which i do trust and have been growing with.

I just say it because you had some problems with those plants and I wouldn't go and think its something else when its a meter giving you in accurate readings.

Yeah, I've been making due with it for a long time now. It's definitely on my to-do list behind a carbon filter and a bigger light. My room is starting to get a little skunky.

The problems I was getting is because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.

I've gotten to a point that I know the system, and I know what the plants need. I had some issues with dyna-gro recently where it was getting solids in the bottom and causing Mg deficiencies. I've since gone back to CNS 17 for flowering. I use CNS 17 for veg all the time.

I calibrate my tri-meter probably around once a month, and it's usually only off around .1 PH at most. Also, the CNS 17 contains PH buffers that work excellent with RO water, producing 5.8 pretty reliably for me.

Maybe I'll snap a few pictures of the current plants I've got going. It puts the rest of my posts to shame fo sho.

yea dude cos they way you dissapeared i thought you got busted.. glad to see your around, the way youve done it with the corrogated pipe is sweeet dude!

Haha, not busted. Not yet at least. Luckily, the state of Ohio is pretty easy on marijuana. I can have up to 1k grams before it's considered a felony.

Taking pictures and stuff is a bitch, especially with this setup. I dug around and found my charger, so I'll get some pictures soon.

I'm not sure what all I've posted in this thread, but I'm running different genetics from when I started.

I'm running these:
CH9 Cluster
This one is my best yielder. Super frosty as well, but they all seem to be that way. Has a hybrid high, probably 70/30 indica/sativa type highs. The smell isn't anything special in my opinion. It just smells like dope to me.

CH9 Jack
This one is interesting. Grows really dense nugs, but they tend to be leafy. Really piney smell. I haven't really had a good harvest with this one yet. I've only run it a few times. Was growing really weird in veg so I've been flushing for a while now. Really large broad leaves.

Eva Seeds Jamaican Dream
This one is nice. Super hairy, christmas tree nugs. The high is a fantastic sativa high. Best part is it's relatively short to flower, but the yield is average. Smells like cherries, it's pretty nice. I enjoy this strain a lot. BHO out of this stuff is nice, really psychedelic.

GHS Hawaiian Snow
I haven't ever had any of this stuff done yet. Supposed to be a 13-14 week sativa. During the inspection, this'll be one of the few flowering plants I'll carry over.

GHS Chemdog
This is one of the first plants I started growing, ever. It's got an amazing taste and an amazing high. If it didn't have such a shitty yield, I'd run it more. Stretches a lot in flower, and likes to fox-tail a lot. I can't wait to have some more of this around. If you open a bag of this stuff, the entire room smells like weed.

Barney's Farm Vanilla Kush
This one has been interesting. I haven't harvested any yet, but have some in flower. So far, these bitches stretch like crazy, have incredibly large internode spacing, and seems like the yield is going to blow. The buds smell like black licorice. I've got a mother in a 5 gallon, so I'll probably run it a few more times and try to dial it in.
I had some issues in flowering with the dyna-gro, which is a real bummer. I emailed dyna-gro and they said ''we are working on it'' and suggested I buy some of their magpro-plus or some shit. To be honest, I don't think I'll ever purchase dyna-gro again. I really liked it when it worked, but both bottles of the stuff I bought ended up with solidified magnesium in the bottles. CNS is 11 bucks a quart, and I like the results in veg.

I wasn't familiar with the cal-mag additive that I bought a long time back, so there was a 2-3 week learning curve of trying to figure how much I actually needed to add. It could be worse, but it's something that I wish wouldn't have happened.

It affected most my strains with the exception of the Cluster, which only had some spotting on lower fan leaves. The rest lost a few fans in the process, but they are looking alright now.

stay on it! cant wait to see more pics!

I really blow at taking pictures.

Hey IPurp I wanted to pick your brain real quick on that black drainage pipe.

I have drew up and have my vertical designed and i decided to go with the drainage pipe like you. For the money it should do the job. I was looking and read that the drainage pipe connects to any 4" pvc connector as well.

Have you tried this at all ? Im just trying to figure out how Ill keep it continous. Like you and just loop the pipe or I was thinking of using connectors and reducing and then just letting it fall into the one below. Kind of hard to picture I guess it will be a work in progress to see how it goes.

I bet it'd fit in the connectors, but it definitely wouldn't seal. I'd suggest not trying to put any fittings in or anything, it just increases the chance of a leak.

Also, beware that the corrugations will pick up salts and keep them from your nutrients. It works just like gold panning. I'd suggest either shaking the shit out of the system about every week, or filling the bottom of the corrugations. Right now I'm not running my system because of this. I was thinking about getting some floor epoxy, the self leveling stuff, and pouring it in each level to fill the corrugations. Downside is, if I ever have to disassemble, it's going to be a bitch.

Hmm... I see. I didn't buy anything yet.

I can get 6" sch40 pvc but its so dam expensive for the fittings. I've been looking for other alternatives still but not looking to good. I seen 4"pvc done so I just might have to try that out.

There's the green sewer pipe as well but you would probably have to go through a supplier and not a HD or Lowe's. Not sure on what the connections go for either.

I'd still be adding some more light grunt to this grow,
Still that said
she looks grand indeed!​

Looks good!! What kind of medium are you using in that setup?

Guys, Vostok bumped a pic that's over 2yrs old...
