I started out with vertical growing and had awesome results.I then went against the golden saying which is "if it's not broke don't fix it". I started doing horizontal grows and realized how much time and money I wasted. So here I am back to vertical growing. The strain is OGR WIFI and I think a Blue OG is in the DWC. The system is a 4 site DIY Under Current system. Lighting is 1000watt hps. The pics are from first and second week of flower. I will be putting a screen up around the bulb this week also. Any questions or critiques please feel free to chime in.

Also for those who are wondering what I am feeding it is Dyna Gro Foliage Pro along with Pro-Tek. The ppm is at 750. I am going to add powdered Kool Bloom around week 3 or 4.

Nice set-up. I love how close you have your plants to the light source - that will make all the difference during flowering. With that in mind, I reckon 24" diameter cage will be fine. Mine's about 18" wide (just enough to fit around a 12" floor fan) and I run 1200w.

Also, 2lb should be well within reach. Maybe even 3lbs if all goes well . . .

That's what I am hoping for. I have a 8 bulb t5 with only 2 bulbs working (crappy ballast) in my veg tent. Will it be better to put my 600w hps dimmed down to 300w in there rather than have 108w of light for 5 plants in there? I am looking into getting a 600w MH bulb until I can grab a new t5 fixture once funds permit me to do so. I need the awesome growth the 8 bulb t5 was giving me when it worked.

I have the screen up. In a few days I may trim up the huge plant. I have learned it is best to put the screen in before the stretch and not during it. I'm at 750ppm right now. I feel I have taken for granted how much the WiFi can fill in. The next area will be done with a 600 watter. Here is a pic of the new round in the veg tent.

Here is a better pic. They are healthy. The plant root system is not as full as the others though. I'm going to give it one more day. If nothing changes by tomorrow I'm going to have to replace it.

No they are not. It did happen after I topped it off though. I raised it up some. I will see if I can raise it up some more though.

The plant is raised up about 6". I hope that fixes the problem. If not it will have to go. That is some prime real estate it is taking up. haha.. I will report back when the lights come on.

I am going to check on her in a few hours to see if she made a recovery. If not it will be easy to replace her. I cant wait until my other strains are big enough to give clones. I am thinking the WiFi may not be a yielder at all. But we shall see. She might be a surprise!
