vertical growing

Uncle Ben · Nov 13, 2009

One thing that is a given, all the plants that are given vertical lighting look pretty unhealthy, and that includes Heath Robinson's stuff. Didn't bother with the whole thread but has anyone introduced the complication of phototropism? Anyway you slice it, both vertical and horizontal lighting comes with its own demons.

My lack of understanding? That is funny.

"The future"? Ya think? Ahhhhhhhh, you noobs, quick to jump on the "latest and greatest" gimmicks, snake oils, trends, consensus and fads.

Actually the best lighting regarding logistical control, efficiency, and effectiveness is a SMALL horizontal hood with a gull wing insert. I retrofitted mine with highly shiny specular. I likes it!

Also, remember fellers, the lamp's poles emit no light and that phototropism affect is a killer.

Hi UB long time no see, I agree with you, plants grown verticaly look wierd but they stiill produce a large amount of buds for me and that's what I'm looking for, Good Luck.

AHHHHHHH.,,.. that is a dog
i was thinking that the plant turned into a dog due to the fact that they were so unhealthy having to grow vert.

So do mine.

Nice job, and I'm not a "vertical hater", don't really care what you do as long as it works for you. My point being is that noobs will jump off on some method because they've seen pictures of it in a forum, and they'll do it not understanding the pitfalls, which most growers will not divulge. There are demons and caveats that come with every style of growing and lighting. For instance, I wouldn't think twice about SCROG.

I like the even distribution of horizontal lighting and I get good, long colas.

Happy to see you had the courage to show the whole plant and not some closeup of the top 3" of a cola.

Grow hard,
UB

7/13/09

8/03/09 1 week before harvest

I took clones on 4/20/09 and they all succesfully rooted on 4/25/09.

I harvested this plant on 8/10/09 (She was a bit smaller than her sisters)

Edit: In the last pic I was flushing with plain water, so thats why the leaves have turned a lighter green. Nute def
