A list of pro's and con's if you can please.
It seems like you can do more with what you have as far as lighting, but it also seems like complicating things.

List:
Pro's:
Vertical is the way of the future.
Vertical growth really pisses off gravity and who doesn't like to piss off gravity.
Vertical growth gives you an advantage over horizontal growth.

Con's:
Vertical growth is really tall.
There can be a lot of wind at the top of the plants and you could be blown off your ladder.
If the plants get too tall your can't see the tops and don't know when to harvest.

^ word. So many of these fuck nuts have NO fucking clue how much cash it takes. There was a thread the other day.. I have 30k and want to start a commerical grow. Lol. Where? In your parents house.

It's all good I suppose, keeps the economy going and all but jesus fucking christ, sometimes I am absolutely blown away by the cash that flows OUT.

"DUDE, we spent 80k in July and august!! Wtf dud we spend 80k on?

" well there was rent, electrical bills, we bought two new air cons, fertilizer for nutes, paid the trimmers for two rounds, gor some new cameras installed, re plumbed the veg room, bought some hoods.... it was 80k, here are the receipts..let's just keep.moving forward.

Oh it is huge. Its 4 times the space i really need. But its a unfinished bathroom in my basement, 4 walls, a plug, and a drain concrete floor. The buckets sit on the floor with the plants around the bulb. Its hanging from the ceiling. Little turbo fan on the floor blowing at the bulb. Box fan in the room for air circulation and a 6 inch duct fan for extraction.

Its hard to say how long they veg. I start all clones in solo hempy cups. I veg 4 in the 3.5 gallon for 4 weeks under a 4 bulb t5 with 4 t5 side lighting. Normally clones are in the cups for a bit under some cfls. They get root bound. But i always have 4 clones of each of the 3 strains. And this is a perpetual grow. I harvest once a week. (which amounts to plucking the fan leaves and hanging her whole in the dry box for a weeks to 10 days)

Now these pics are from when i first transitioned from soil to hempy. I found the sunkist bottles to be to large to fill between transplants so moved to dixie cups.

SO in a room like this for example? you'd need to what rotate the canopy for equal light distribution to each plant? Or maybe supplimental lighting on the very outside? just curious about verts. Bare bulb H.i.d s especially.

Me, for one. You're just jelly and feeling inadequate, so you gotta spray paint some bullshit on the wall of this thread. Grow up- and go away until you do. No one wants to listen to you whine.

I comment for my own pleasure and can only feel joy that it disturbs you.

^ exactly. Funny thing is, it's douche bags like this that will eventually click your profile and read your other posts.

Ttystck.. I'm telling you man, the dwc likes the fucking colder water. We dropped down into the 65's.. never looked better. Actually shit is actually fucking blowing up like a mother fucker. Ober the weekend, had to be alost a foot of new growth.. scrambling to flip these beasts.

Blue dream is a growers dream and we have a standing 6lb a week order from a chain here.

A week ago those preveg plants were a foot tall!!!20151102_154859.jpg 20151102_154937.jpg 20151102_154859.jpg

Sorry upon request I'm keeping it a secret

Welcome to the new world of legal weed..

It's not like you could strut into KFC and say "damn, this chicken is the shit, could I please have the recipe"

Besides, there is already a thread and I'm busy trying to secure a fucking water right for our 70 year old well at the WH. Or I could just hook up to city water. I was told 30k for that on Friday.

That's fine man, was just asking... But that could've done without the snide remarks.
We're all here to learn, pull your pants back up.

Regardless though, you guys are killin' it. Good luck on the commercial grow.

Yeah. It's a pretty sweat strain. We aggresive trim them for sure. Filled an entire 50 gallon garage can with trimmings off of 40 plants. Last round tested at 24 or 25% combined cannabanoids so we have a good cut.

And she yields! 2 per plant average. Fucking GS platinum on the last round... 7.5 pounds from 6 plants :(
Me... "so basically running that strain cost is about 10k in lost revenue?"
My partner "yeah but it's pretty"
Me... "so are some hookers but I wouldn't spend 10k on them"

Bitches don't put out the yield they get kicked to the curb. Too many good strains nowadays yield just fine to have to put up with that.

Naa, rotating a canopy is a waste of time and plant energy. she'll get herself into the best position.

I respectfully disagree. The more work I do to train my plants, the better returns I get. Letting them grow wild doesn't do yield any more good vertically than it does horizontally.
