Ambitious. If there were people swinging those numbers, whether it was legal or not, there would be documentation. Go for it.... I think pulling 1 oz off 60 on a single HPS would be challenging, but I don't know anything.......... How many G/ per watt are you swinging now?

Ambitious??? how bout recklass. That's my point. I wouldnt grow that many even for the yield and if i did id have a room full and max out yield not sog. If youre gonna take that risk with those numbers of plants better be worth it with the yield.

I was talking about heath's design
https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/149998-heaths-flooded-tube-vertical.html

he stated he only used 1 600w bulb unless i misread.

I've never gotten more than .4- .5 g/watt but I haven't pushed it, just for fun and smoke. If I pushed it though i think 1-1.5g/w is not unreasonable while staying under legal limits.

shit dd's grow was 42 lbs off only 10 plants. 10 plants is underlimits, dry wieght is way over but thats another issue.

Thanks a lot kali love. It's great to hear from you. This Casey Jones is quite the plant. At least it has been for me.

Very co-ordinated, Jig, I like the choice of colours with the back drop, the raspberry drink (which is making me thirsty as I type looking at it) and then the lovely purpley leaves and hues of the massief fat looking Casey bud. Superb bru, superb!!

Peace, DST

Thanks my friend. I am really sad however... i put the rasberry drink in the freezer to quick cool it... and forgot. So it could not be enjoyed... instead had to be cleaned up.

Jflo... you have quite an optimistic view. I don't think it's very easy to get 3 g/w. I don't even think I've seen anyone on the internet Claim to get that amount. And people claim crazy things on here. There are hundreds of people growing Sog not getting anywhere near those numbers. Vert Sog included.

I also think that if you could more than double - triple your yeild just by trying... then you should get to it. Seems a waste of energy to grow at 25-50% capacity.

I am trying as hard as I can to maximize yeild and MAY get 0.6 g/w this grow. If in in the next year I can get to 1.0 g/w I will be very, very proud of myself.

I'm not too worried about numbers, as much as it sounds like I am. I just like to measure things and numbers are the clearest way to.

priced the pvc pipe. Looks like I'll be spending around $200 for the set-up... hopefully not too much more.

Did you smoke and forget about the drink,Dont worry its happen to all of us probably.but man it looked like it was gonna taste so gooood.


How many tiers are you gonna run on the next setup? You going to try a have a flood gate like Heath did also? $200 just for the pvc?This crap never cost what you hope it will.

pvc looks like it's going to cost around $60. The damn elbows are like $7 a peice. It's a damn peice of plastic, oh well.

The $200 is guesing on the pvc, the water pump, the extra plumbing for the pump, and extras like brackets and such.

I think the CJ is coming down soon. I hope. Actually, I need to check the trichs, I haven't in a few days.

I'm stoked for this new construction.

finally, a jigfresh grow that i can follow from the beginning....can't wait to see the design, i'll keep my eyes peeled for the thread...peace

so your doing a mini me version of that one you linked to? That should be cool to watch.

alright MR JIGFRESH

i am saying NO to your new idea, at-least give us another vert grow please

I say go with JFLO's idea, try and improve numbers on your setup you have then move on but only one grow with one setup hmmmm does not help you i feel. Like was already said by JFLO witch should be like your brother or something you should just keep the same setup and improve what you have already done before moving on.

Just saying this because i know this setup has potential and just save more money for the next setup. There are things that could be done with this setup longer veg, co2, different lights, stronger nutes blablabla come on dont give up on this setup yet

There are not to many going the vert way and Heath already did his and so did Catfish so lets see you makes this setup do more crazy things.

I am just like you man i get bored, i wanted to take down my rooms and start building new things but we still have not mastered the rooms we have built, why start over when we can improve on what we have!!

Hope this gives you a little insight, i know once i made up my mind its hard to change

Enjoy the snow you lucky basterd, looking forward to seeing this in person

.

Thanks Jig..... Your always there..... Interested in your new grow. Hope the new veg space is coming along well. I am drinking some Hansens right now, Its pretty good with a little grain alcohol too.......

I have to say hulk... you really have me thinking. I always love when you jump in with advise. My wife totally agrees with you.

But building stuff just makes me so happy and it comforts my soul. However it also takes time and money.

We'll see my friend. We will see.

I bet hansens would mix pretty well. My drinking days are over, but I always like hearing about it.

The attic is getting nice and clear... for a veg space.

Ok.... I've grown a bit tired of waiting for the CJ to finish. I have been reading and someone asked if CJ's trich's didn't really turn amber. Someone else who really seemed like they knew what they were doing said they had only 10%amber trichs. I would say I have 5% or so... but it's just not really changing at all.

So I'm beginning the end now. Gonna chop some small buds... maybe the big ones will mature a little more the next couple days.

Here's some pics:

It is kinda curious to think about what you could get out of this set up upgraded.

Dollar per dollar and gram per gram... the ONLY thing that beats a Zero Veg SOG is a VERT Zero Veg SOG...

And Jig!

Those pics are amazing!!!!

Gnarly!!!

Dam Jig thats one monster you have there, this grow could be in one of those magzines i see on the rack.

Keep in mind those are 2 inch squares....

That is one fat stalk!!!

One thing for sure about this grow style that sucks shit.... 2 month veg. That's an extra harvest growing indica. Def not growing the monsters again... although I will say. It was TOTALLY worth it. Fun as hell... and I'll always be able to say I did it... and I have the pics to prove it.

Thanks for the interest guys.

most definatly one of the biggest plants i have seen

Dang, Pretty Plant. Nice stem. Looks like its all buds. Looks like it could be easy or hell to trim..... Enjoy it while you can!!

video did not work for me.

That is one fine looking specimen of the plant we all love, Jig. Very nice indeed. Sounds a bit like the Headband, the trichs never seem like they will go amber.....but after 10 weeks I normally get bored and chop chop. Interesting to know the CJ is the same. I know what you mean about the veg time. I was getting frustrated not being in 12/12. I think with yourset up, could you not create some sort of hook up for another plant half way up the wire. The pot or whatever you use could be behind the fence with the plant trained through to the front. So you have a plant stacked on top of another plant, this should half the veg time, but give you same yield (if you want extra plants in there that is.)

Whatever you decide, solid work on this grow me china plate!!

Peace, DST

Jig you did great I think. You got such a nice tight space for this grow its so damn efficient! I'd stay with it a few more, and just make a few minor modifications, (1000w bulb and co2) and you would have it dialed in, imho. btw was that from seed? If so, a Clone shouldnt take that long to veg to get that big. Keep it up!

I would think it would take a little extra veg time to get her spread out on the screen the way you wanted her?
