I've also decided- that since I haven't yet had to climb inside the hexagon... Going to set up a floor system too.... Can likely fill the floor around the bottom fan with another 8 plants... If only tipsy turvy things didn't leak, I'd hang those from the ceiling and have a capsule grow...

Going over to start my flush tonight... I'll try and grab some week 6 shots too ... Let me know when they're up so I can check it out!

Soil and hydro are 2 different animals sticky... I've done 0 flush - 14 days... It makes a very big difference in the dry cure times too. But hydro shit has to be flushed or you can tell. If you can't tell the difference- you didn't do it long enough IMO. I like 10 days personally, but I won't have time to do the work here next week on it.. So I'm doing it tonight. Have some new pics I'll throw up if I son't get outta here too late. How are your plants doing now?

It's weird ... I took pics... Like you said SF.. You have a few hundred to go through - I just don't feel like going through the effort.
The loss of data thing kinda took all the wind out of my sails..

Hey cowell, haven't seen your thread for a while but it's looking good.
Have you ever thought of growing drain to waste hempy's vertically?
I've got a couple of pretty nice hexagon setups that are drip fed/drain to waste with a raised floor for plumbing and ventilation, if you're interested in the details.

Cheers bro.

Ya- I'm always into trying new things... Link me up so I can see what you mean !
I've never logged a grow on any of the forums, I'm self employed and busy with my grows, wish I had more time in the day, but I will post some pics of the system I've been using for while and if you are interested I'll give you all the help I can.

Where I'm growing we are pron to power outages, so an nft or aeroponics was to risky.
I started these hexagon towers in soil at first, a few years ago I changed up to hempy's and have been very successful with it.
My grow rooms have 10' ceilings so I have the benefit of a little more air exchange to keep the temps in check, it also allows me to build a 12" raised floor to hide the ventilation and waste plumbing, but 8' ceilings will work fine.

Each one of the 6 towers are mobile, it lets the hexagon expand as the plants grow closer to the light, this lets me retain a larger grow footprint (sq footage).
One of the towers has caster wheels on its base, it allows entery in side the hexagon to take care of things. The water and nutrients are fed from the 50 gallon reservoirs overhead through the ceiling via triple drip to each plant site, then they cascade to a drain to waste hidden under the floor. The black square at the bottom is grate, I coll the lights from the 8'' inline fan that's ducted under the floor from another room it gives me freedom to move around without tripping over a fan.

I really love the versatility of the hempy's, it's damn near worry free and the plant just love it. This is by far the most efficient system I've used and I been through quite a few.
It baffles me why more people aren't going vertical, things have been quite awesome for me and my girls since I found out the world is not flat! lol

Thanks bro. And yes I do, I get pretty impressive yields with this system.
If you have the space, you really should give it a go.

I've started to reply several times and get side tracked...
You're set up's awesome BTW.. I have several things on wheels, but found the ones I could afford didn't stand up to the weight. I don't mind the set up the way I have it, it's set up in the middle of the room, and I can reach any of the plants from the back. I had to tie up a lot of plants that were bending over from their weight.. And it was no hassle at all.
Other than the automation of it all, I find this system works really well for what it is. I have about the same plant count as my last vert set up at the start of this thread- this time the temps are better, so we'll soon see of I get over a lb a light. I have another teir to use next round, and enough plants to fill it.

I'm yanking the lights tonight, I chop on Wed. I'll make sure to take some shots before I cut and hope they don't get lost....
other than that - life's been hectic, and I haven't had time to update with pics, but they're coming tomorrow... Maybe grab a few iPod shots while I'm here to keep anyone's interest :)

For anyone looking into vert... Give it a go. It's well worth the extra effort if you're growing anyway.

Ipods take bad pictures.. but I don't want to lug my camera back and forth to the place usually. I'll take some pics tomorrow when I'm over there with the camera as I'll be chopping on Wed. I took a few plants out already.. the wife needed some meds.. so I chopped the small ones and turned them into bubble. I cleaned up the pots today, and there was 11 I chopped, and there's either 35 or 45 plants left (I think it's 45 - but I can't remember for sure).

Edit:... ya.. really crap pics.. didn't know they'd be that unclear. Sorry guys.. was in a bit of a hurry today, and just snapped a few shots.

Looking good Cowell, I really like how those veg shelves are tucked away, looks very efficient.

I've seen some of your grows, so coming from you that's a well appreciated compliment.
Thanks bro.
