So What do you think I'll get if I surround each plant with 4 x 1000watt vertical dual-arc bulbs (600w HPS + 400w MH in one)? Hopefully I'll get baseball bat size buds! :)
The same 30 - 45 ounces PER PLANT that Heath Robinson get's with his long proven success in vertical lights these past years.
If you don't know him, I highly suggest you start searching.........hehehe
All from 3 - 600w vertical bulbs for 9 weeks.
He said they were 6'6" tall, including the pots.

Start here :
Heath Robinson's 30oz and 43oz Critical Mass plants ! EACH by the way......

I've read a lot of his threads. Very inspiring to do vertical grows! Even his mini vertical grow was impressive.

What medium do you plan on using, Gamber?

Well there have been a few raids around So Cal over the past few weeks. However, the problem was a result of "loose lips sink ships". At this moment, and for the future, only 3 people know the exact location of this space and they have money invested and keys to the doors and they are more freaked about people knowing than I am (because I scared the shit out of them). :) Either way, I'm doing everything smart, investing the right money and running this whole operation off of a written business plan, pro-forma and project plan.

I've been following Jack Mayoffer over at THC Farmer with his 60,000 watt vertical UC setup. He gets 2 to 2.5 pounds per plant using 8 gallon buckets. I'll be using the new 13 gallon buckets with 41" centers. I'm shooting for 2.5 to 3 pounds but will be happy with 1.5 to 2 pounds for my first run! :) I'll be checking out your links as well because there is no such thing as too much information.

For my veg lab I'll be using a Current Culture UC6 setup Current Culture UC 6

In the flower rooms I'll be using the Current Culture UCE12XXL13 setup Current Culture UCE12XXL13

I'm putting up pics next.

I'm not busting your balls here, I want this to succeed. Your camera is inserting a lot of data in those photos.... by viewing the EXIF info data atached to the files, I can tell that your camera aperture is 7.1mm, I know that the flash was on auto, I know the camera is a Casio EX-P600, I also know the lens type, whether the flash fired or not, how far the camera was from the focal point, and a shit load more.... In fact, there is a lot of data that concerns me, it appears to be in hex and binary... If you are going to use a modern digital camera to share photos like these, you might want to consider using an EXIF stripper program.... Had these photo's been taken from an iPhone, I'd be able to tell you EXACTLY where your grow is located.

Again, this is not to bust your balls or be a dick, far from it. I've not disclosed any sensitive info, but check out this shot of some of hat your camera is inserting into your photos...

Hi Folks,

Just a quick note to tell you that I'm alive and extremely well! The girls are at 60 days flower and look amazing.

I've had many life changing events occur during the past month and I literally have not stopped moving forward on my new ventures. It's BIGGER and BETTER than I imagined it would be.

I've been on a personal retreat for the last few days, camping solo, reconnecting with myself. The rooms are built and now it's my turn to perform some magic!

Pics should start going up over the next few days.

peace all!!

Okay. Here we go. First of all, the girls have been moved to my new facility! It was a bummer taking them out of my cabinet and shutting it down. I actually cried a bit remembering all of the hard work and thought that went into it. But it's that cabinet that taught me that I have greater potential. In the past five weeks I have simply amazed myself at what I've been able to accomplish. I've taken all of my life's education, knowledge and experience such as Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, Information Technology, Architecture, Construction, Physics, Chemistry and yes even my musicianship and put it all together to create something new from the ground up and using my own two hands.

It so happens one of my best friends from the midwest, and an ex pot smoking buddy of mine, started out life as a framing and drywall contractor before switching careers into the IT field. So using my philosophy of "finding the right people to do the job, give them the right tools and resources, minimize their weaknesses and maximize their strengths, and make sure you take care of their needs and making sure they have fun, most of all!" I asked him to come out and build my design. The result:
  • Four 18x16 Flower rooms
  • One 8x20 Mother/Clone/Pre-Vegetation Room (aka Nursery)
  • Fully insulated with R13 sound proof
  • Greenboard and taped

So let's get some pics. Apparently when I switched to macro mode for the close-ups, I also turned on black and white. The buds still look amazing!

Here's some distant shots of the girls currently located in Flower Room #2. Notice I'm using my same AC unit and ran a temporary duct to a ventilation hole I cut in the ceiling for the heat exchanger. The hood is eventually for my Mothers and I had purchased a 1000w Hortulux Blue MH bulb. I went out and got a cheap Chinese 1000w HPS bulb to finish out the last few days of my current grow. That Quantum ballast kicks ASS! Fully dimmable and switchable between MH and HPS and it generates literally no heat!! With the AC and two 16" fans blowing on the girls the AT sits at around 71* and 38% RH with the hood right where it is! Placing my hand at the top cola feels like a cool summer day!! :D





Now, sit back and relax because it time for some PORN!!

Skywalker's











Blue Dream




Let's not forget where we started!!!

Skywalker OG #1, the QUEEN!



This should give you some perspective, taken above ceiling level.

Flower Rooms #1 and #2


Flower Rooms #3 and #4 along with the Nursury in the back


And still there's more work to be done! Primer, paint with Ultra Pure White Flat Enamel, sweep, vacuum, mop, patch concrete floors, etch concrete floors, pre-prime concrete floors, paint floors in Flat White Garage Floor Epoxy. These rooms are going to glow once they are filled with 16,000watts of vertical hanging dual-arc bulbs! Just like Tim Allen, Arh, Arh, Arh.....MORE POWER!


So do you think I have the ability to turn dreams into reality? This is so fucking cool!!!

Back to work!
