Ttystikk's vertical goodness

i hear ya bro. Put up or shut up eh? Sometimes there is only one option: grind away until you reach the finish line. Go get 'em tiger. No prisoners!
Cheers!
P.S. We just got 3 seasons in under 48 hours and several more frost warnings on the way. Haven't seen a spring this tough for farming in a while. Good thing we're indoors!

I got nothing but respect for those poor sods outdoors. Yet another reason I'm building a bright future indoors; at least it's Fucking WARM for starters!

I'll grind away until they drag the tools from my worn down fingers and not a minute before.

Constant trying and failing and trying again is something I'm used to. How does one prepare for success?

I've been chatting with a buddy who is good at process design and automation.

Having bitten at the automation apple, I've realized that it was a bigger bite than I could swallow by myself.

So far, the schedules I've built on an ad hoc basis are serving as a very good foundation for understanding both process and data.

From here, we can develop a monitoring/control/automaton scheme that accurately records the needed data in real time and uses it to maintain preset parameters, according to a program that could even change through time.

Better operational control and a much more complete picture of what's actually happening to my plants daily and over time is just around the corner!

Hey ttystickk, speaking of pics.....???

Your wish is my command, I'll take some freshies tonight of the recently defoliated ladies in the Super Silo.

She's coming along very nicely, indeed...

I know, the pics suck. I am still trying to figure out how to get shots that convey scale.

Still shows them for the BEASTS they are!

So, do You cut the stems at the base and hang the WHOLE SILO at Harvest?

Peace

Lol, that would require me to grow in a warehouse with a garage door opening...

I just cut them down in chunks and cure them that way. This means that the silo never comes apart, and all it needs to get reset is to flush the tubs, refill with nutrient solution and put fresh plants in place.

Another pic. Ignore the bulb in the foreground, its only purpose is to skew the apparent scale again, lol

The nugs are already chunky, frosty and all around nice. I'm almost afraid to think about what they'll look like a couple of weeks from now!

Just keep stacking...
Keep on stacking, stacking, stacking...

I opened up a seam between two trellis panels and had a look inside. Buds everywhere! It's even kinda dark, the plants are so thick. There's a few open spots where I didn't get complete coverage of the trellis, but it's over 80% easy.

Just couple more days now...

The anticipation builds... you think YOU'RE in suspenders, imagine how I feel!

Home stretch now, just waiting it out.

WooHoo! Please take plenty of pics Before you Harvest, and of course... AFTER!

Peace

That's one of four plants on the wall, standing over six feet tall.

WooHoo! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

VERY Nice Job!

Peace

thumbs up for this one!

Thank you very much! For my next trick, I'll start harvesting Super Silos every other week... from now on.
