@Trollin:
thanks for the kind words!
I'll be thinking of of my brothers & sisters here on RIU as I enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Am working my way through this entire thread and am blown away by what others are doing with their grows.
I have a lot to learn!

 

[Trollin]

I think everyone has a lot to learn. (especially me) hehe. make sure to post once you have harvested! I'd like to see how Crystalized she is.

mouthmeetsoap my vertical grow was built by me for around $120 a tier, plus lights and cooltubes. I use a 70 gallon res, and a 9000 btu A/C. The yields are around 2 pounds, 2 pounds out of a 5'x5' area is quite a site to see.

If your question is open to anyone to answer:
I turn my plants every 2 days (1/2 turn each time), and rotate them in the growbox every watering (take out each plant to water and put it back in the box one space clockwise from where I took it from). I try not to touch the buds, and only handle the leaves when I have to. I do flex the main trunk when it's young & green to strengthen it, but other than that I rarely touch my plant's leaves & buds (takes away THC chrystals from buds, and I worry about damaging the pistils, and the leave's stomata).
That being said, the growers who've been kind enough to show me their set ups handle their plants & buds pretty vigorously with seemingly no ill effects.
They handle their plants in ways I would consider "rough", but I always forget just how amazingly strong & resilient a cannabis plant actually is, so I know I am babying my plants more than necessary.
The biggest risk for me when moving, turning, and rotating my plants is bending of branches (easily repaired with a loose wrap of cardboard taped around the crimped area of the branch).

@strictly seedleSs-
Would love to do a vertical grow like yours, and will do so when I'm back in a house instead of an apartment.
Have seen other people's vertical grows and was blown away.
Truly a wonder to behold!

thanks for your reply,and yes the question is open to all who have input.

 

[blower]

Yup thanks Dst. Inline fan it is. No bathroom fan? Because I mean my grow space is not that big

 

[1badmasonman]

WOW lots of action today.

DST them veggers look ready to pack on some lovely buds. Love the non-stop cycle you have going D.


Nice Vert grow there Seedless. What variety do you have there. OR did i miss that?


Coming right along BongKong.


Now theres a crafty setup. Nice work Doobie.

And welcome to all newcomers. There are alot of cool peeps here who dont mind at all helping out with questions. We all learn here from eachother and its a cool hangout. Stick around awhile peeps and adopt our mascot Roger 600 watter. You can download him into your sig. Good luck with everybodies grows. peace 1bmm.

 

[strictly seedleSs]

I have OG, Platinum OG, and Blue Dream. There are a couple singles in there also, Romulan, Banana OG, and Banana Kush.

 

[1badmasonman]

Nice variety there Seedless. Theres a few ive never heard of. Bananna kush, That sounds yummy. I heard that the romulans are some kill tooo..

 

[strictly seedleSs]

romulan is my goto strain for outdoors, but it does awesome indoors too. big yields, unique smell, beautiful buds, and the heart of a lion. the banana og is my favorite strain, i havent grown the banana kush yet.

 

[1badmasonman]

Sounds cool Seedless. Im looking for a good hardy outdoor strain for next year. Got a good variety going now. Seems my purp strain is the hardest fighter in the wilds. ??? Ive noticed the strains i got from GHS are kinda hard to clone and root. With the exception of the BW from ufo

 

[DST]

The better fan you have, the better your grow will be...

On average twice per week to water....I try to be carefull, this thought has gone through my mind, but I don't think it should have any detriemntal effect since wind naturally moves plants....however I was thinking, do my plants think there is an earthquake everytime I water them....!!! But they seem to be okay.

Hey 1Bmm, thanks for making everyone feel welcome old partner.....GHS....bah, boo, lot of poo!! hahaha. Thelma is getting chopped, and the veggers are going in for their 12/12 routine...busy day at DST's potting shed.

Later peeps, will share some of the pics.

Have a good one, and at least the US football (soccer) team are trying to play Football....ffs England pull the digit out of the rear end guys.

Hup Hup Holland!!!!

 

[irishboy]

maybe some of you guys can help me on this question i have?
i just bought some 29% H2O2. i was wondering do i add it to my res before adding the nutes to feed? if so how long before? or can i add it after i mix my nutes?

 

[BongKong420]

As you go through flower fan leaves often do turn yellow....you just need to be careful at what rate they turn yellow. Looks like some of the leaves have a bit of nute burn, so I would cut back on something...what are you feeding them at the moment BK? They have for sure exploded though, looks like you'll get some nice smoke. Keep up the good work.

Peace, DST

Well ATM I am using Jacks Classic but I am not too sure about the results.....I dont really have anything to compare it to since my first grow ever is the OG that are finishing up soon. I was thinking of going with a different type and I am getting some Dutchmasters Liquid Light foliar spray here in like 3 days. You guys ever use this stuff.

Just want to let you all know that I am truely jealous of all your grows hahaha Nice Job, and thank you soo much for all the help.

 

[jigfresh]

Yep... I've used it. You really need to get the penetrator spray to use with it.

Liquid light works insane bro... like steroids for veg. Lot's of big giant healthy leaves. Worth every penny in my opinion (and you know that shit is expensive).

Good luck with it.

And yes DST... usa was playing some ball for sure. Sucks about the ref. England are just crap right now. And how about spain?

also.... we have Martin Tyler and Ally McCoist as a commentary team, and damned if I can't understand a word ally is saying sometimes. Damn accent!

I did that on purpose with good results supercropping. so i can promise that you can be a little rougher hahaha
