Crazy set up Heath!!!!! Vertical grows are looking more and more interesting to me!!

Do you find it harder to take care of a bunch of little plants or a few monsters???

:weed: hay fantastic grow heath, your work is inspirational . read through all of your journal and was mesmerized from the beginning ! however i do have a couple of questions if you dont mind, first. with so many plants do you not worry about hermy action pollinating a percentage of your crop what i mean is how on earth do you keep on top of all those plants ?
secondly, and this relates to the first but how much time do you spend on plant maintainance ?

thanx again heath your a star
rep + sub

Heath Robinson,
would you mind scribbling up a few pages of plans on how to build this flooded vertical and posting them on here, it would make the job of building this thing easier for me. I think i could manage building the pipework although i dont know what lenghts you cut the straight pipes, i could probably work it out by how many net pot holes there are in the pipe, thats if they are the 50mm ones. There are almost no pics on constructing the frame so i would have a problem with building that but i could build it in stages as i put the pipework together, time consuming though. Also an inventory of materials would be usefull. Im interested in the distance between the holes, measured from the nearest edge of one hole to the nearest edge of the neighbouring hole, the length of the straight pipe after you cut it down from 3m and the framework. one can only hope that the weed god known as Heath Robinson will have the time to do this.

you need to do your home work, then ask your questions?
if this is too much for ya, your in the wrong field
people here will be more then happy to help
you gotta help yourself first

if you know that he already posted plans on this then perhaps you could have given me a clue as to where they are or you could have answered my questions on his framework and what size of net pot the holes were cut for and even maybe how long he cut each straight pipe that runs from one 45 degree double connector to the other 45 degree double connector. i will help myself by having the balls to spend the money and build this thing because i believe in it.

The point was that you should look through the thread, my friend.

hello diggitydank420
i have looked through the whole thread, although i got bored of the repetitive questions from the people that were too impatient to read the whole thread for answers that have already been answered by the man himself (heath robinson) i did start to quickly scan through for heaths replies after about page 38, just to see if he answered what i was already looking for and i did not see what i was looking for (could i have missed it??). he has not visited this page for some time now so i guess he is busy doin what he does, as i would be if i was him. i want this setup really bad and i guess i will have to just take my chances on my own with regard to the measurements of each straight tube and net pot diameter,frame size etc. it just upset me that some person called:- (SOG) probably took me for a newby that had not looked at the whole thread or the gallery pics of heaths build....pleeease, go and toke a bit more and leave the discussion to people who DO not those who dream (SOG). the only guy that can answer my questions is heath himself not some onlooker that wishes he had what heath has- (SOG). i will go it alone people, i will build it to my own specs although im not great at geometry type stuff.

lol,
sorry bra didn't mean to offend you
that's just our humor, you'll find it; one day ;)

here you go
page one, post one, of this thread
will guide you through what you need to accomplish
you will need to figure your size based on your space,
he explains the concept of his system in details
I'm sure he doesn't have exact measurement
for every piece in the puzzle, angles etc.. are all mentioned
now go do some reading, hmm... and some math
enjoy

Heath , Obviously great job!! Question- Is your ferts,temps,humidity, etc. listed in this thread? I know its alot to ask ,could you list those again here. Aside from the great build ,what factors give you results like fluffy roots! or long white healthy roots ? Or really green leaf from begining to end !or no signs of stress .Or just up ,happy leaves in general. Thanks

I see you grow large and small plants,is there better quality in one or the other?

Did you find the dam(housing) HAD to be movable ,Should I seal a dam housing if needed w/silicone or did you find the movability of the dam better than a permanent seal?

Hey there Greenyield, although Im not in the process of building a setup like this but Im always interested in the small details which lead to a successful operation plus I pay great attention to all of Heaths words of wisdom & workings so I thought Id help you out a little:

The net-pots Heath used are 3 inches.

Now as for the dimensions you need to ask yourself one question "At what distance will the plants need to be from the bulb (at any wattage) to hit a good penetration range?"
Well if I wanted to gain the maximum yield using this system Id use a light meter then build it accordingly.

He uses Vitalink 2 part nutes which are specially suited for U.K. water.

Heath manages to keep the roots white & nice & healthy by constantly giving them dissolved oxygen he does this by having the circulation of water on at all times.

To prevent the leaves from yellowing he feeds veg nutes for the first 2 weeks of flowering.

You see no signs of stress well... because heath is obviously an experienced grower a real veteran. Im guessing hes learnt what to do * what not to do in the beggining stages of when started growing.

Hey friend,

I know how hard it can be digging through 500 posts just looking for one single bit of info... (like how did you couple your tubing with your end cap) so i am going to be building out this system as best as i can over the next month. I will detail every aspect with pics and put together as detailed plans as i possible can.

Im gonna be posting these plans and pics on

www.verticalgreen.org


stay tuned. Ill post up when i finish
