Thinking of a new vert idea. After having to rip my first vert grow up early due to wanting to expand on a spare bedroom I've decided just stick with my 5x5 closet with built in window. Now I'm still staying with the vert and wall of weed coco hempy. While I liked kiss feeding with maxibloom, I couldn't really get the shit to dissolve. So I'm looking for alternatives. Now I had 3 gallon pots and plan to keep using them as well. Gonna add coarse perlite in a 5:1 coco perlite mix. I had issues last time with the saucers over flowing so I'm thinking of using a kiddie pool? One of then plastic ones? Would like some opinions on that. I had some leaves burn last time too so I'm thinking about making a wire cylinder for my lights to go in and to keep the leaves not so close. I'm thinking 12-24 inches. I use two lights last time aswell. A 600w and a 400w. They were side by side. This time I'm thinking of stacking them vertical bare bulbs. 400w at the bottom 600w at the top. I've always used bag seeds and I think I'm gonna go with female seeds c 99 this time 2 seeds and clone like 6 times each plant and just keep under t5 light somewhere lol. I had shit bulb brands but I think I'm gonna buy two hortilux bulbs for the lights. I'm defiantly going to get a cooling controller for my ac. Basically just looking for ideas to make this time better then last time.
The closet I'm in has no.door but I'm just gonna use poly plastic and velcro. That's all I can think of. Any info appreciated. Would love to be like a pro. Forgot to mention I'm gonna swap the 400 to another 600 next grow. Upgrading can't be done at this time lol.

Hey I'm too lazy to read the whole thing right now so I'll do that later. I wanted to say about the kiss maxibloom method I found it necessary after adding more than 2 grams to microwave a glass of water for 3-4 minutes to almost boiling and then add in the maxi and cal mag and stir with a spoon for 5 mins. I was using a Mason jar but got cracked and I found using a spoon more effective. A thermus is a must for this. It never fully dissolves but the remaining clumps are minuscule

Since your in a 5x5 your limited ,but a circle of plants with bulbs down center sounds right.
Use trellis to keep plants off bulb and should be good. Cutting edge grow micro bloom for base and botaincare compost tea,silica,and (canna pk for week 5). Easy to use and effective good luck

Thanks for reply, I'm prolly late as we'll lol. So, if I heat it up to almost boiling temp it dissolves? Hell I might just put a little bit of water in a pan, and boil it on the stove..... I'd rather stay kiss feeding honestly.. It's so easy

Not exactly sure what a trellis is, but I can find out. I was just gonna build a 18 inch cylinder and out the 400 on bottom 600 on top. Eventually I'll be getting another 600. To have 1200w. I wont be vegging any longer then prolly 4 weeks. Them huge plants last time were just too big for me lol. Plus with the window being in there, I got a 10k btu ac in there and wanted to try to mount my inline fan on the roof and put the ducting over top the light cylinder so it sucks all heat that's blowing up out and I could vent it virtually anywhere... I think heat won't be a issue tho but we shall see when I start ordering things

Yea I know what you mean, I noticed that once its nearly boiling the powder will cause it to boil for a few seconds when you pour it in, it almost looks like a chemical reaction, I recommend pouring the water in a thermus and then start whipping it so you can sit down and its a lot easier on the wrist. It feels like whipping up crack lol
