*Vertical* 2,000watts = 6lbs!!

damn let me look more in this

Looks promising - Keepin' my good eye on it!

just so you are aware, the chick that started this hasn't been around for---------------- over a year-, this is an old thread that hasn't been active in a long time... Or at least in accordance with what it was first regarding... I am almost done with my first vert grow and I will post some pics when done.... I will tell you this... If you do vertical growing, for whomever is interested.... make sure you have automated watering set up.... I am switching back to mist because of all the time I have spent next to that light watering.... Trust me that you will spend an ass load of time in direct exposure of your lights just manipulating your plants to fit the space, that and hand watering have been very bad i'm sure on my skin... And my set up is in a 48 cooltube, I can't imagine what it was like in green bastards room with 2600 watts of bear bulb right next to him... He used a water wand and ran two different rooms with that same set up and did a bunch of lst, I mean a bunch.... All for a vision..... The desired dream is to attain walls painted of solid green buds.... Or maybe that was just my dream

I've been reading several threads including GreenBastard's, this one, and Northern Farmer's. I was just wondering if anyone could give me the pros and cons of going with a stadium type setup built by hand vs the Growall. Aside from cost, would there be a difference in yield? I don't have any experience with Aero systems, so I don't know how root mass is affected vs being in soil. To me it seems like you could fit more plants in the same space with the GW since it's flat against the wall. Any thoughts, thanks.

depends on your space and how many waTTs you want to run..... No matter what, if you are in a square style or close to square style space, Octagon will always produce more, but stadium is good if your room is longer, like a 4X8 you still won't get the coverage floor to ceiling that you do with a multibulb vert, but it's easier to work in space like that with a stadium. You will definitely need to use 1k bulbs to get results with stadium where as vert you could go to 400's in a 4x4 space if you wanted..... I'm running 600's in a 6x7, but all the growth is caged in a foot all the way around the room so it ends up being more like 4x5.... lIKE i SAID IN PREVIOUS POST, THE HARDEST THING ABOUT VERTICAL IS WORKING AROUND EXPOSED LIGHT... aLL THE PEOPLE THAT READ THESE POSTS AND GET ALL GUNG HO ON VERT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT IS BEING RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR BULBS, COMPARED TO THEM SITTING UNDER A HOOD..... tHAT'S WHY YOU STILL DON'T SEE A LOT OF oCTAGONS AND VERT SET UPS, JUST THE SAME OLD SCHOOL FLAT GARDEN GROWS... aND IF YOU DO DECIDE TO GO VERT, DEF SET UP AUTOMATED WATERING IF YOU DON'T JUST GO FLAT OUT HYDRO..... I will never run soil again in vert... I will stick with mist from here on.... first run is almost finished and i'm a;most done building the mist set up and am going with 3 levels this time instead of 2 and double the amount of plants witha little bit of a shorter vedge this time.... Would be stoked to see anyone else that is doing vert

thanks for that reply, but it didn't really answer the question i had. i guess i should have elaborated more. i plan on doing a closet grow. it's 4 x 6 x 8. I know it's small, but i have a flat garden under a 1k aircooled hps. i also have an extra 400w hps that i'm not using. my ? stems around the issue of how to make the most of the space. it seems like the growall systems might make the most of the space rather than trying a stadium since they sit flat against the wall. i was fishing for anyone with experience with these, or something similar so i could compare it to a stadium. thanks.

2 600's straight up the middle of the room, 2 shelves and you are dialed... definitely not stadium style space... ANd stadium doesn't sit flat against the wall, hence the term stadium

there is a aeroponic system built here basically the same idea except 10 sites up like tubes with drainage going down and collected back to the reservoir, and 20 rows of them so 200 plants except the yields werent good because of heat, until we installed a water cooled light with a light mover that goes up and down. But no more secrets.

Heat is my biggest problem too and I am in a 48 inch cooltube...

Im trying this griw ruight here but on a larger scale

Hey everyone!... I'm back… again...
I didn’t die, and no one was killed. A close family member was in the hospital for 7 months. No worries though, he is recovering and if all goes well I shouldn't be disappearing anytime soon. let me start by finally sharing the photos of the last grow, I wish I could have posted them before but better late than never.

wow....... nice how long did it take all together.

this thread is too long so if you already advise soory


questions:


how many plants
what was the final dry yield
what strain or strains
how big was the room

48 Plants
2 (1k HPS)
8'x8'x8'

A little under 5lbs after budding for 8 weeks.

This wasn't my goal, I know my new design will work much better.

I will be posting my new plans soon so stay tuned.

Good Show.

revolutionizing the way we grow ganja, love it smoke on bud.

Brilliant!!!

I applaud your last grow Green , just under 5lbs in an 8x8x8 room LOL!!! Top man!

Best of luck with the next one, can't wait to see it progress
