Thanks Saldaw, I think I'll just see how long it lasts then replace with treated wood, it really isn't much work. I think it will last longer than some might think though because the res underneath is very well ventilated, I've got the active intake routed into the res where it gets sucked up by the fan pointed at the lights. This keeps my res fresh/cool and adds a bit of humidiy to the grow space.
Anyways I'm now a few weeks into flower and no major problems so far. The plants are very healthy tho they did get a little rootbound from there lengthy stay in veg and have not filled the larger pots. For the next round I took my clones just before the flip to help prevent this.
I've really focused my attention on the canopy this round, lots of training and pruning. I think this has got to be my best wall of weed yet, hopefully it pays off. I've also added a couple T5s to the ceiling, the tops of the plants don't seem to get much direct light because of the angle. I know its not much but maybe it will help, this will put me at an even 50w/sqft.
I'm poppin some new beans right now, Conkushion (MK Ultra x OG Kush) from KCC. Got them as a bonus last time I ordered. I also got a clone of my God Bud/OGK cross I made accidently a few rounds ago. I gave it to a buddy to try out and it looks pretty good. Its big and stretchy like the OGK but has the same smell/taste as the God.

hey so your setup has gotten me thinking about my two mothers and how they are completely different plants physically...
The RKS is bushy and gows every where and would be perfect for a tie down wall of green like you have....
The VIPER i have grows more upright and strong with thick branches and would be better suited for a longer veg and grown with a fence in between the light and plant... you have kick started some ideas with your thread man, thanks.
last....whats your yield?

For this style you need really stretchy strains or you will be disapointed, trust me I've been there. That RKS sounds like a contender but you may have to defoliate if it gets too bushy. The Viper sounds more like the Blueberry or Godbud that I tried to grow this way and was not happy with the result. I hear lots of people saying you need a 50/50 hybrid for best results but I haven't run one yet, maybe on my next order.
My yields weren't that great after I switched to the 400w with light rail, 10oz first run, 8oz second run. The first I had one strain that was not at all suited for this style (God), the second I let my canopy get way out of control and had too much larf. Both during the winter with very cold lights out temps (50F).
The summer before I got 8 oz with a 250w, no light rail, no training, and a really stretchy strain. So now I've got those warmer lights out temps back and I ditched the light rail so we'll see. Basically I won't be happy till I hit at least 12oz which should be totally doable.

Probably go another week or two. The veg plants are way too overcrowded because I've been trying to go without topping them this time. I need to find some earlier strains the timing's just not workin out.
All of these pics are of the WW which I won't be running anymore. Its a decent 8-9 week strain but I just don't care for the high.

great setup and very well taken care of, but it seems like that bubble insullating foil would have hot spots not to mention its expensive.. I used it only to insullate my ceeling, great stuff for keeping heat signatures down.. just not a very efficient meens of reflecting light..
otherwize great job.

I guess that comment was more like a question. to be honest im not sure cause its been so long since I read about reflectors.. I just know mylar is 99% reflective with no hotspots and its a smooth surface. I do remember reading about hoods with hammered reflectors are bad, guess I just associated that with the bubble stuff your using.. It is a great insulator tho.. that I can attest too..

well if it aint broke...
I grow in my basement and befor I installed that stuff over my lights the floor in my living room would get hot when I walked around bare foot. and now the heat is 100% gone. way worth the investment

Chopped one of the WWs, the bigger one I think. Man I wish I had 4 of those, looks like 3 oz maybe. Real stinky too, someone rang my doorbell while I was in the middle of this 3 hr session and it kinda freaked me out a bit, lol. I was in the basement but all the windows upstairs were open cause its so fuckin hot outside.
This would probably never happen but could you imagine how funny it would be if you knocked on someones door and they answered with their hands all covered in gooey resin, sugar leaves stuck to their elbows, and the overpowering stench of freshly chopped herb! Man I would laugh my ass off!
Here's pics
Here's my bud dryer too, I made it out of an old filing cabinet I had in storage. Its way bigger than I even need buts it what I had so why not. I gave it to a buddy a while back to try out and he put 1.5# in it and had room to spare.
Its got 3 drawers and each one is split into 3 shelves, I used ceiling tile and cheap shelving parts from HD for these. Above the top shelf I filled a 4" duct elbow with charcoal from the pet store and attached a duct booster to it for the exhaust. Works like a charm except for the first day, it seems the humidity from the chop simply overpowers the charcoal, after that tho theres no smell at all. Last couple times it was used it took 2 weeks to dry but it was practically winter then in an unheated garage, so we'll see how much faster it goes with warmer temps.

Hey OG, how've you been? It's the GHS version. I ordered them before doin any research otherwise I might've tried to get the black widow instead. It's a pretty good producer, and finishes in 8-9 weeks. I had the worst time germinating tho, 1/5 the first try then 0/5 with the free replacements, usually I get about 80-90%. Could be my method tho....
