Vertical stadium HPS+LED - TGA Apollo 11,Cheese Quake,Ace of Spades,9 other strains

Plus, we know what we're doing this go around!

See ya then..

Awww fuck things are getting good in the grow room for sure!!! Here comes the f'in frost! Everybody's looking very impressive -- still have 2 daylight cycles until we are at the end of day 21 too! this is from the START of day 20's day cycle.

Oh the good news is all the cuttings have resumed normal growth... and don't appear to be burning at all in the soil mix i put'em in (didn't have time to bake it, but didn't put a lot of hot stuff in i hope)

The resized pics RIU shows don't do the plants justice... they look a lot better in the original pics

General grow room pics - best I can do -- first is me against the other wall, 2nd from behind the plants

Thanks for helping out with the shelves owl! Gonna get back on'em in a few and start painting'em... we definitely built'em better than last time Gonna drill holes for the shelves then paint, let'em sit in the garage overnight and then assemble tomorrow morning... if they're dry enough i'll disassemble the other shelves and take them out, add extra bolts for stability and paint them... put'em back in for the veg crew upstairs going into flower next weekend. That room is gonna be wall to wall bud soon.

Everyone is looking so happy in there!!! Lovin the trich formation.

Hey Senseimilla - Your wall of bud is amazing! My daughter just moved back but I have an outside grow so no hiding it. She loves it! She has had the gardening bug since she was little. The Malawi is weird because there is no smell! If I was growing a big bush of Rom or AOS out there I think they could smell in the next state! I bet your room is going to get danky I read that in CO they have an odor law so the neighbors can complain if you are growing some skunky bud!

Your cuts look very healthy and I just can't get over the Wall of Green you have going on. Is this your first time using Air Pots? Are you setting up the watering system when you spiff up the shelves? Sorry about all the questions - don't bother answering them right now, I know you are busy.

Just wanted to say WOW and keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Mo

Gonna be two walls soon It is pretty funky is what it is Good air fresheners take care of it and it can't be smelled as far as i can tell outside... when the air fresheners get low, you definitely catch whiffs of it inside in spots. I started using air pots last grow and i love'm, even if they are a bit messier than most pots (well, so am i ) Yeah I am going to probably get blumats at some point in the next month or two just a question of when. I think the blumats will take away just about all the remaining negatives on the airpots (watering). We'll see. A true stadium shelf would've been a lot more effective, but a lot harder to make

Looking good senseimilla ! .Thought about doing hempy buckets mounted at a 45 degree angle on a swinging door that closes up to my scrog,trying to utilize every square inch. You got me motivated

plants are looking great sensi got a bunch on your hands next big grow i do is gonna have some variety in it for sure been sittin on some seeds for a while

For real curly i can't even comprehend having the amount of light you have and just one plant

Watered but didn't get around to taking week 3 pics... tied my AoS 6 down some (really just optimizing)... was going to do some lollipopping but figured out that makes absolutely no sense on the top shelf for vertical... although it does on the bottom shelf where it doesn't get light. It looks like AoS 1 is going to be a black cherry dom pheno i noticed a small branch grew into the shelf and pulled it forward (rubbed against the shelf) - smelled it and it has a nice light berry-fuel smell. Was lazy this morning and did not feel like doing a bunch of trimming or taking cuttings or photos... the sun still hasn't come all the way out today so not a great day for photos either... i want to take'm around sunrise on a sunny day, so hopefully soon. I think I'm gonna move all the AoS up to the top shelf (the side lighting will probably really help on the rocket colas) and lollipop/tie down the apollos and geniusxdeep chunks on the bottom. Those apollos are f'ing beasts... all getting really long colas with tons of budsites and side branches. That 'super branchy' one was not as super branchy or stand out as originally seemed... guess i was just high it's about the same branchiness as the rest All the apollos have budsites everywhere... definitely going to be trimming some budsites off in the next few days so going to have to keep each separate for early test smoking All of them are really filling in with bud now between the pistils even on the lower branches it seems. Apparently they are not ready for full strength nutes (1-4-5), some minor-moderate burn on some leaves on the top shelf but nothing too bad... i'm probably going to stick to the metabolic bloom formula for a while.

Aww yeah it's sexin' time... I went upstairs to pull out the winter clothes boxes to bring downstairs and looked at the veg plants... the Sparkle from seed is a female! Major pistilage... saw another female but it was from a femmed seed so no biggie... also, i pulled out some g13xhashplant to toke on and i almost did not catch a seed coming out of the bud and falling in as i put it in the bowl... dug the seed out of the bowl and have it here... guess there's no point in not attempting to germ it, although it may be a herm... i don't really know where the pollen came from for sure but i have not really found seeds in any other plant, so.....

I may have missed it but are all the plants you have now... sexed out and are fems? Also what are your views on the airpots? Are they definitely different when discussing yields/disease prevention? I have been really drawn to the oregon breather pots... I hear that yield can dramatically increase with these especially when using large pots and long veg periods..

All the plants in flower are fems, yes... the veg plants are still mostly unsexed. Airpots rule... my experience so far is pretty close to what i've read, that they'll increase yields around 50% over the same size regular pot. Less chance of overwatering (but still possible with soil not well aerated enough). Haven't seen much on the oregon breathers are those like air pots or smart bags?

How lovely, a estroed filed room haha just kidding. That is good...What do you water them like how many gallons/litters per gallon of soil? Or do you do the water to running technique? Yeah they are breathable bags made of some sort of fabric....
amazon.com/House-Of-Green-Gallon-Breather/dp/B004RH0VEW They have up to like 22 gallons I think.... Damn imagine the tree a 3 month-ed plant would be....I can dig that..

I have a 55 gallon drum cut in half(two cylinders, not like a trough)
well, one half of it is larger than the other, 32 gallons(did the math yesterday)..
i may get some soil for it, but it seems to be a waste for only one plant--but if said plant yeilds over a lb, maybe it is worth it..

yeah but then you'd have to grow a beast that could be spotted from the air... and we don't live on the west coast

Well, I was thinkin on doing it inside, LST/supercrop, and really utilize the space I have.

Just a quick update... watered/sexed the veggers... good news and bad news. The other c4xcaseyband was a male even though it was still short. The good news is, only one other male (blue cheese x lush). So, have ended up with:

2 Cheesexcheese
2 blue cheese x lush bx1
1 sparkle
3 adventure mix (a couple greenhouse and freebie seeds i chucked in without keeping track of which strain they were... femmed... could be gh kings kush, gh bubba kush, ch9 jack or some other ch9 strain)... we'll see how they go.. i'll be on top of 'em for nuts that's for sure)
1 void x grape apollo

Then still have the 4 cuts from owl (bb2,bb1,sparkle,romulan -- all doing well but still small) and the ace of spades 4 cut (starting to take off)

Don't they hang growers out in your parts ; ?)

Lookin good dude. Just a thought regarding the blumats... Being a gravity-fed system, it may not be ideal for your stadium setup. There will be much more water pressure down low than up high. You can probably get around it by raising your reservoir up by the ceiling and doing some clever flow adjusting, but it may prove to be more hassle than its worth.
