2nd Attempt
Figured I would give the vertical grow another shot. I feel like I could of trimmed a little less, and more efficiently. I do think that this way is the best for my room, unless I was going to run more plants in a SOG style. Well here is round 2...

:hump:
Small pots this grow...the smaller ones might be rootbound by Week 8/Week 9...?

Have you done any trimming yet?

Also, 600watt bulb was mentioned as a better size...? Is this because you can move it closer to canopy/floor...?

Thanks muchly,

Yes smaller pots on a few, just to test out the yield. I do not think they will be root bound, the plants stop making a root system once they start to go heavy into bud production.

I did some light trimming this morning, focusing on the bottom of each plant. I will continue to remove budsites not in direct light over the next week or so.

I think the 600 will be better in the summer time. If I do not yield more this time than last, I will switch to a 600. My logic is that the light may be TOO intense being so close, but this grow will tell the truth.

Thanks for your reply. I'm a novice grower and especially trimming. If you have the time, before and after pics/video when you trim next would be great.

Thanks, again. lookin' forward to thread and added insight.

Cheers,

it looks like a third of the floor space is going unused, would it not be best to use a horizontal bare config?


thanks for the pruning part of the vid, the way you used your hand to demonstrate was very effective. also great choons in the vids.

I am at some of the same cross roads. ( pot size, veg time, plant count, fresh air, yeilds etc.) running a 1000 vert also, looking forward to your next run

Hey slab,
I used to run horizontal barebulb and my best yield that way was 15 oz off of 2 plants. That was after about three grows in this room that way, and I felt Like I maxed out the yield that way. If I ran like 50 small plants I could probably hit 1.5lbs easy in a horizontal setup. However I am keeping my plant count within the legal limit. I will post a vid of when I used to grow horizontal.

I am glad I could help you, and I appreciate feedback like this. Hopefully I will hit my 1.5lb goal this run..
Anyway here is one of my old HORIZONTAL open bulb grows.

cool grow dude. I'm a 600w scrogger, and have been looking into going vertical for some time now. vertical scrog on this would be sick.

are you doing any JackBerry this round?

Maybe 1.5 oz. What killed me that grow was one of the JackBerry seedlings yielding only 1/2 oz. :(
those couple of dogs kept you from making your goal weight, i am learning that indicas are a quick route to making hash.

regarding this run ; those 1 gallons are going to be so thirsty during full flower. I using bubble ponics under my soil pots, during full flower (c4)they drink couple gallons a day.
you might be able to get away with letting them sit in their run off and give them a light watering when you can get to them at the end of the day.
humidity might become a concern.
A rope wick into a closed water source is a thought also.

Loving those chemo genetics, what is the flowering time for that 91 cross ?

All of the stains are done at 60 days. 65 would not hurt though.. remember that coco holds a lot of moisture, even if it looks dry it still has moisture. I am a little worried though, but it is trial and error right now. If I have to I will put a tray under it and just water from the bottom.
Thanks for the feedback.

You're using Canna nutes, correct? I've found they're a bit high in N, at least the coco lineup. Assuming you follow their directions anyway (and mix 1:1).

I was using canna, but i stopped about 2 grows ago. I am now using maxibloom. The only additive i have used so far is beastie bloomz at 1/4 of a tsp per gallon. In the future i would like to implement bud xl from house and garden and boost from canna.

Day 36.. I am not sure if I like the new camera or not. I might try one video without the glasses over the camera. I am not using Green Planets Massive this round, and I think I may en up with smaller buds this time. There are still 23 days left though, but the true results will come once I get a dry product from this round.

I try to keep it between 40% and 50%

Thanks for the reply re: RH during flower. Does the same hold true for Veg?

Another request, please re-list your nutes regimen, including veg...? Thanks much.

Cheers,
