vertical growing

Ive been reading this thread and its very interesting.

First time going vertical.. so far so good. I will let ya know if i get better yields with the vert as opposed to horizontal.








normal horizontal setup below.. i average about 20-25 ozs with 8-10 plants.

thats a nice thread bump.

very nice set up

What's your setup? How many watts, and how long do you veg before you flip. Looks good and will be interesting to see how your vertical setup works.

I veg for 3-4 weeks,, i was using 1000watt lights but the plants started to burn so i went with 600s and its much better.
This is an aero NFT setup.

heres the progress so far at day 38 top2 pics and day 21 bottom pic.

Beautiful bro. Top notch for sure.

sweet thread!!!...subed

New is good OLD is better?Maybe .I use 5 1000 watts bulbs average 9 to 10 lbs, on hydroponics,NO co2 ,easy to look after,every 68 days.Is this good or bad. My quality is excellent. BC BUD at its best.Just want to know if I should scrape my old program & change

In a couple of weeks I'm going to be building an El Blastido octagon (with some tweaks, taller, wider, etc.) and I'll post pics of my progress in this thread.

great i'll be waiting

+ REP for the awesome vert setup Dirt......I will copy it indeed! kiss-ass

I have been reading up on vertical growing and tried it last grow with excellent results. With the help of a benefactor and a LA dispensary, I decided to build a sealed 10 x 12 foot room with 10 foot ceilings. I built two 5 foot wide. I wanted to be able to fit 60 -99 mid size plants. Middle row of plants being hit vertically by bulbs on both sides.

The plan is to use first two feet in height of room to fill room with reservoirs, except a 1.5 foot walk way. 3 100 gallon and one 40 gallon. This way I can recycle nutrients for I could not feed to drain easily.

We will be using hugo blocks in dutch leach trays suspended in air. Drip top feed plants. Total of 4 1000 watt (2 hortilux MH and 2 hortilux super hps) 2 600 watt (GE HG Lumalux hps) all run in multiple cool tubes, (thus allow for lights to be lifted and dropped(manually) as well as being moved back and forth 2 feet (mechanically) Using a max fan 10 to pull air through cool tubes. Thus 2 1000 watt and 1 600 watt on a 3.5 light rail for each row moving in opposite directions.

We have all the gear already, CAP xtream green house controller, dual co2 bottles with 6 emitters, cap mlc 8, dual port air conditioner. 1/3 hp water pumps, (like eco 66) and so on

I wanted to get some help with this and was not sure where to post? The room is done as far as construction but now is the time to get it working.

Any comments or ideas welcomed. Also have pics but had problems loading them.

Try again with your pics, please - I'd really love to see what you've got going on.

Here's a pic or two of my "progress" so far - should be built within the week.

Well you weren't asking me but I cool tube it and with veg time 5-6 weeks, flower time 8-9 weeks, with a single 1000w hortilux I averaged yield 3-4oz per plant across 3 plants. With a single 600w in a 2x3 space I'm hoping to get about 8oz off of two plants. This is in DWC and I am about to entirely change my grow style over to organic soil.

I really want to set up a 360 degree cool tube so that I can do circle grows and do like an 8 inch diameter or something crazy small like that. Epic.

I did the same and increesed output by 1/4. 'Will never go back to flat'

Should be finished sometime this weekend, and I'll post finished pics here as well.

whats the diameter of that setup BOB SMITH?

Not sure, as it's not quite finished yet.

From my preliminary measurements, it's about 7' from end to end, but take away 9" on either side for the piping and the 45 degree wye sticking out...........so I think the "working" diameter is gonna be about 5.5 feet.

But again, I'll have a better idea tomorrow when I finish it up.

Holy shit bob smith. That is fucking bad ass. Even my wife's impressed, lol. Just amazing. Can't wait to see what happens.
