Looking good! It's gonna be fun come harvest time. ;-)

Oh yeah, I can't wait to see what weight I get.... 10 days!!!

Here are some pics

Looking up from the bottom at the golden goat closest, and the hash plant on the upper levels

And here is the hash plant

Also, to let you guys know, I am using GH complete floraseries, slightly modified from the recommendations. I tweak some nutes, and I maintain between 1000ppm to start to max 1350ppm on the .71 scale so it comes out to between 1.4-1.9 EC then back down and flush. Heath even recommends using lower (1-1.4) but I'm too nervous to drop that much in one swing. Although, these plants are looking great... and probably would be doing even better if I wasn't so stubborn. :-?

They're looking great to me. Looks like they've experienced only a tiny bit of nute-burn at some point.

Don't be afraid to cut back on the food whenever necessary.

If you see PPMs drop between feedings, then you're good. If PPM's rise, then cut back a bit more.

Also, they need less food the later you get into flowering.

Thanks, I'm such a proud parent right now! Yeah I noticed a little bit of nute burn. I think it may have been due to pruning a lot while keeping same ppm. Most grows ive done Ive brought the ppm all the way up to 1500 and then back down. Now they are ripening at 1050ppm. But this time, i took a much more aggressive approach to pruning thanks to a friend of mine who opened my eyes a bit. Basically I took every larger fan leaf off as the petiole turned red until 4 weeks, as these generally block light to buds, and since then it's been just a little maintenance. I know someone will be like "fuck that, you can't prune that much" but believe me... it works very well. As he explained, the light can only be used by a plant once, so if it's in the shade at all it's only drawing energy from the plant instead of producing energy. Also, the sepals, the walls of a calyx, contain chlorophyll. This means that it is best to provide every square inch of bud with direct light as they can also photosynthesize. The more local the photosynthesis to a bud, the more efficient the energy usage is in that bud. I believe this, combined with high nutrient oxygenation allows for lower EC with better results. Next time I will go even lower ;) 9 days...

That's funny cuz I'm actually trying to start a consulting business here in colorado. As far as price.... make an offer? haha....Plane ticket plus time, I'd be down for sure, however... I'm leaving the country on the 28th so it'd have to be real soon, especially since Ive got harvest next week!

Thanks mrbroon, I'm freaking out, cannot wait. Looking very good, better than my last vertical grow for sure. By the numbers... last grow with no co2 i was able to acheive 1.6oz/sq ft. This grow is looking much more dense, in fact the golden goat is the densest shit I've ever seen! So, figuring in about 32 sq ft of canopy X 1.6 = 51.2oz which would be 3.15lb and a ratio of 1.2gpw. it'd be the first time i'll ever break 1gpw... that is a hard thing to do by the way, haha.

Very nice indeed bro....How tall and wide does the system end up being??Thats def the best way to get GPW IMO...Keep it up bro
Thanks, it's about 55" tall not including the extraction fans and ducting mounted on top, and widest point is 46". Takes up around 15sq ft of floor space. I agree, vertical is the way of the future. I'm lazy, so the efficiency ratio is very important to me ;)

I'd be willing to pay you 300.00 for each setup. I need at least 4 or them, so 1200.00. I will pay for your plane tix, and expenses around town, and supplies to build them. let me know how this sounds

Did you mean you were harvesting on the 20th July? If so, how did you get on? Very interesting grow. Love the mod on Heaths vert. His seemed quite complicated.

Can't wait to see the yield of this baby. I'm VERY interested in VScrog...

Thanks Zamzia, you mean the pump manifold instead of the cascading element? I like it too. It was much easier to set up.
Harvest party! My roommate and i have been trimming since midnight with a 2 hour nap around 930am then trimming some more until 5pm and we're about 70% done. So far i have 3.5 levels of my collapsible mesh dry rack covered with one good layer of fresh buds. Any guesses on weight? I'll let you know with some pics in a few days! :)

Yes indeed. Makes it look much simpler to implement. Still beyond my capabilities, but never the less makes it look easier. Look forward to the harvest shots and final weight. Once again, good work!
