First up will be my old faithful Sweet Black Angel that I ran vert the last time.Forgot to ask, what strain are you going to be running? @OneHitDone
Can I make a suggestion?View attachment 4061196
Breaking News: Brother OneHitDone returns for more Vertical Growing!
Well, I guess I really acquired a taste for working with Big Girls and just can't leave well enough alone.
So, I am returning to the realm of Vertical Growing after laying it back down horizontal for a while.
This will be a transition over the next few months as I move crops through the garden
New hydro system design, new lighting arrangement, and no F'n Trellis BS - Big Fat sweat hogs gone wild is what I am after this round.
Dropped my first pair of little ones into top feed hydro tonight to get them going before the big veg is ready once again.
Will post update as things progress

The 600 probably won't be put into playCan I make a suggestion?
You have the 600W and the 1000W lamps backwards. Put the small ones in the corners and the big one in the middle.

Can't wait till the pics, LOLA little update, things are moving slowly but the vision is clear...
Buckets acquired and the lids cut square to accept some "Flow N Grow" baskets I had laying around from a previous project.

Cut access holes for drain clearing. I guess I have some Barney Rubble digits or something cause a 3" hole just wasn't gonna do - went with 4" and made some custom plugs out of a garden kneeling mat (nice springy neoprene type foam) since I couldn't find plugs to suit my liking at the Homie Diaper.
These inserts will allow the roots to grow all over out the sides completely filling the bucket. Plants will stay in the bucket from about 4 week veg on and never need to have their roots disturbed
Drain plumbing will be like this...

PVC coupler will be mounted to the stands that will be constructed allowing the bucket to sit down in place with the 1" drain fitting just resting inside the pvc. That way I can rotate the plants or pull the bucket up without fighting any hose connections.
This is my modified take on the @PKHydro system - Thank you for the inspiration brother
1" hose straight back to the res from each plant sight.
I am putting the drain fitting dead center so I can rotate the plants as needed.Looking good man! Coming along nicely, can't wait to see this in action.
Your most likely going to have to play with the plugs for the 4" access holes. Be prepared for leaks untill you get it dialed. I used some random plumbing caps. Once i wrapped some electrical tape around it a few times they fit perfectly.
Why do you need such a big hole? Drill your drain hole close to the edge of the bucket by your access hole, then it's easy to get a couple of fingers in to push the roots away. It really only needs to be done 1 or 2 times throughout flower, its weird but they learn pretty quick.
Pooling won't be an issue as long as the bottom of the bucket is above the waterline in your res, and provided you dont get any air locks that prevent draining. However you WILL get water running down the insides of the bucket walls, this is where I got my leaks from. If your seal in the 4" hole isn't water tight you'll get some slight leakage. Just a heads up so you can be ready to tweak as need be.I am putting the drain fitting dead center so I can rotate the plants as needed.
The holes are cute 1.5" up from the bottom so hopefully there isn't pooling to that depth to begin with. I'm sure the flow rates are going to need some tinkering
The force is strong with this one! Sometimes I feel like I need a go pro cam for some of the crazy shit we pull off in our gardens. The vision is manifesting!Happy New Year my Vertical Brothers!!
A little update:
A couple youngsters are in drip hydro and rockin in preparation for the Vert Sytem.
Hose arrived for the new system
