Vert Beansly Style

Here's my little stadium setup to veg the next round of plants. There's two OG crosses in there with them, in their last 1- 1 1/2 weeks of flower. I changed the bulb to MH for the vegging plants but also for resin production in the 'OG's'. Only a 400w light so I only have two teirs, but so far things are running smooth. I'm running 4 separate phenos of SSH, an bag seed OG cross S1, Pre-98 Bubba Kush and Plushberry S1's, AK48 S1's, a purple Hindu Kush and Nevil's Haze. Right now they're organized by hight but will eventually be organized by nutrient requirement.

looking nice m8 .. ill keep an eye out for this one

Lookin good beansly! nice line up you got there!

I'm also in my last week with 2 OGs from bag seed and I also switched out the hps a couple days ago. How long have yours been in flower? Are you flushing now?

Nice looking set up there. That looks like a way to really maximize that 400 watt light.

I have a somewhat off topic question for you, do you have any problems with your water? do you filter it or modify the ph at all? or do you just water with regular tap water?

Thanks man
They're clones. This friday will be 12 weeks. I started flushing last week. I was told it was 'True OG' but I haven't seen an OG with buds this big. I have a feeling it might not be OG but idk. I saw a True OG grow on Youtube and the buds were bigger than a regular OG so idk. It doesn't smell or taste very strong, but the high is pretty good.

Thanks dude. To me, part of the fun is trying to make the sut up as efficient as possible, and I really like vert for light efficiency.
I water with pure tap water and don't modify the pH at all, but I grow organic with Earth juice nutrients and MG Organic Choice which is practically soilless medium made up of sawdust, wood chips and peat moss. The tiny amount of chicken poop they add makes it 'soil'. I add some more chicken litter in the form of composted pellets. I'ts called ZOOM! and you can get it Lowes. It has added calcium that the plants seem to love.

Tbh though, I'm gonna be switching back to using RO water as soon as I can. I just like having more control over what's going into my plants, but you can use tap water no problem as long as there's not an excessive amount of sulfur, chlorine or sodium.

yeah mine are at 8.5 weeks and look like they good use a couple more. Problem is I spotted nanners on them this week so I'm choppin them early. I'm so done with bagseed!

Your og looks similar to mine but bigger. Could just be the pheno tho. Mine has very little smell as well until late flower then a very subtle lemon scent.

Yeah I've pulled off about three nanners total off of it. It's just barely clouding up like a week ago so I didn't want to pull it. Plus I need to make money off this one and I don't want any complaints.

Damn that's impressive for a 400w. I too use EJ, and just with tap as well. And a soilless mix sunshine #4, but set up I ever had. Feeding is so easy, I never worry about ph.

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate that.
You don't have to worry about ppm either
I also use gen. hydroponics ancient forest tea for the beneficial bacteria.

nice 400 man, that seem to be the way to go now, i just need to bit the bullet and do it i guess, lmfao im subbd

...nicely done! No shroud on purpose? (light) I wonder also what you're doing about your light cycle? Clones are all 12/12 from the start? In my 400 setup, I have to move the bloomer to grow the veggies over 18 hours. Pain in the arse, really.

Looks sick man, you fit a few more plants than me around that 400, I can't wait to see the 2 shelves of clones fill out

Yeah, man I like the bare bulb style cause you get the added bonus of the UV light for fuller trichomes. MY plants have been a lot frostier since I switched to bare bulb. With a proper vent system and an a/c, the room stays below 75 degrees f (in the winter).
The little plants in the stadium are from seed. I just transplanted them about 2-3 days ago. The big flowering mamas are from clone. I have to move them out of the room at 6:30 pm everyday when the light turns off for 20 minutes, and then turns back on for another 6 hours. IT is a bit of a PITA but I only did it because I only have to do it for about another week and a half. I'm getting another light soon, and that's when I'll partition the room with wood and panda film for veg and flower.

Yeah, HID's are the way to go. And I've seen a dude pull nearly a pound with one 400w and a 1 plant ScrOG so you can a nice harvest with a 400.

I had 3 shelves originally but the top was a little too far from the light for my liking. Ultimately I want to add another light and stack it on the one I got, then build shelves to the ceiling. About 4-5 shelves depending on the system I can afford to build.

Right now I only have a 400w, a 4 bulb T5 and a 2 bulb T5, so I have to kinda move stuff around to make the best of them. I decided to go aheand and stick the next batch of seeds in with the HID directly under the bulb. Check it out.

...wow Thanks for the reply man!

I use EJ catalyst, is that good enough? Its supposed to support the micro herd.

It's not good enough for me tbh. EJ Catalyst just doesn't have enough bacteria. Ancient forest has like 35,000 strains of bacteria and like 10,000 fungi strains. I've grown with and without bennies and the difference ridiculous. The plants are more vigorous and just generally healthier, plus you get the nice white roots that just explode. IT also makes the plant more resistant to heat and disease and mold. Ancient forest is only $10 bucks but I've gotten similar results from a $2 bag of composted steer manure aerated in water for a few days.

Interesting. My roots are already impressive to my chem using buddies, but I'll definitely give it a try. Can't hurt! All I use is grow bloom and catalyst, and my plants tend to look exactly like yours.

Id say stick to what works dude. I don't care what people tell me, I don't change anything until I get a second (or more) opinion and experiment with it myself.
But personally, if I'm using soil/soilless, I'll never grow without bennies again

nice job BEans.... nice to see you back in teh saddle^^

Props to you bro, real nice looking plants, frosty buds and babies.

Love what you'v done with the decor in there LOL, god bless the guy who invented milk crates, they are so handy, I put my air pumps on them and use them in the shop, I got to have 20 or 30 of them. I think I saw one on the moon? propping up the lunar lander with duct tape LOL
