A great seen.. I can smell her from here. I'm a first time grower and hope to have a try on vertical grow for my next plants. Cheers mate.

Yeah man. My first grow was horizontal and after that I went vertical. Never looked back.

Good luck.

Octagon is down and ready to move

Hey all, I am setting up the tent for the vertical change over, so far everything is coming along nicely. Running a 600 bare bulb with a vertical socket (got today) I have the suction for the fan directly above where the air channel from the fan on the floor pointing up is pushing too. There is also a port on top of the tent I opened and put cheese cloth into, may have to cover it with black hose or something if I have a light leak. Fan on the outside of the tent, then the filter like 8 feet away.

I'm stuck on if I should mount a fan on the top of the tent to circulate the air at the top of the tent or leave it with the fan on the floor and the suction out the top. Any opinions would really help, thanks MD.

I have been doing horizontal until now, I already know I am not topping in veg for max colas anymore, but is there anthing I should be trimming for, like front face, more side branches etc. I'm working in 3 gallon trash cans, and pvc ladders in each. I will be finishing them tomorrow and will post pictures. Thanks again MD.

I don't think you'd need a fan up top, but more air circulation is always better in my mind.

And for training, I find the biggest issue is the secondary branching growing toward the lights. It would be nice if everything hung back on the screen where i ties it but the pesky plants have this tendency to seek light, not sure what that's all about.

The big thing that I will be doing differently this next round is vegging horizontally. I want to get the plants to be tall and stretchy and then I can tie them to the wall and drop the lights next to them.

My roommate and I both work in hospitals and she saw me watering yesterday and made a joke about just running an IV to each plant.

I think it could work. I could hook all the lines up to each other and have them loop around to a hanging reservoir to maintain water pressure.

I could have a drip timer and a rolling clamp at each plant, so there is a fail safe in case the drip timer fails. I could potentially set it for anywhere from 10ml per hour to hundreds of mLs per hour. I'd like two drip sites per plant.

I'd have to figure out how quickly to run the drip, but I think I could troubleshoot it fairly easily. I would start with maybe 10-15mls per hour and work up from there I guess... Maybe I mock up a system and rig it up for a house plant and see if I can keep it alive this way.

Its kinda like a blumat system, except its IV tubing. Lol what do you guys think?

I think it's genious, but I imagine if you use nutrients it might clog up the little dial that adjusts flow, but just water should be all good. Try it out.

It would just be water, maybe a bit of calmag.

Only issue I see now is tiny diameter lines and that they're clear plastic.


I'll start collecting supplies in the coming weeks and see if I can make it work!

I do this. Then i give them about 10 days of vert before I flip them

I veg horizontally too. Couple weeks then about a week very then flip.

clear lines shouldn't matter. I use clear lines for my hydro. Gets a little gross but doesn't mess stuff up. At least in my opinion.

I also veg horizontally.

Cool beans thanks guys that really helps. I think I am going to run the little 8" table fan up there for more circulation. MD

A few minor tweeks, stringing twine between the ladder rungs to make more to tie to, going to get it all on the tent by this weekend hopefully and keep veging for 2 more weeks in the 600 and then flip. MD

Couple of shot for tonight. The Ladders Of Dank in effect.
sorry for the shitty pic but the phone didn't know how to handle the 600 ushio bulb LOL.


Happy Growing Vertically yours, Moondance.

5' Long exhaust run to the filter is working well, added a stand fan to blow air up the stairs and out of the basement for positive circulation.

That looks cool MD! I like the trellis pieces you built.

Should have posted this in this thread and not the normal 600w thread...oh well

4 Sour Hazy Jones and 3 Cheese n Chaze @ about 2 weeks from the flip
