DST's Vertical Step Grow - Headband and Cali Orange

So as many of you know I had bugs, and still fighting the silverfish in my house! DE seems to work though. Just got to be able to put it in the right places. Well the decision was to pull the whole cab down and build a new one. And an improved one as well. And ffs it has been a chore and a half. Especially having to cycle 2 km with panelling under my arm and shelf units in my ruck sack...its the Dutch way ffs! At least I am kind of doing a little bit for the earth while I power away my 1200w of light! lol.

So basically finished up enough to get the kids stuck onto their shelves. There has been quite a bit of stretch to some of the younglings, although I have fimmed and topped a few I think some training is in order. They all need drastically bigger pots which will be done tomorrow I hope. I still need to line the room and also put another electrical line in there. Previously it was all coming of one breaker, which also included my kitchen, which is seriously not got enough juice to run everything, so occassional power breaks when running the electric hob, having the dishwasher on and making toast: out of the question really. So I have shifted it to the bedroom breaker which is only really got an alarm clock running at the best of times (that sounds strange, alarms never run at any good time, normally in the morning waking you up!). Anyway, no one sleeps in the other rooms so that should bring things into line as far as lecky is concerned. I have not bothered with running the excess heat back into my house, not until I have time to think it through properly.

So I am going to run a combo at the moment. The 400mh will run 18/6 for veg and I will have a 600hps come on for a few hours in the afternoon. Then when I am going into flower I am going to start the day with the 2 x 600 HPS and last hour or two add the 400 MH and drop a 600, or possibly both.

If you notice your plants growing naturally, towards the end of the day as the sun goes down the plant also starts to go down. The sun is not just switched off, so with dropping the light and type, I am hoping to reflect a little of what nature is doing....thats the thought anyhoo's. Anyway, enough gabbing, here's the pics.

Door and paneling in place.


White screen behind door...needs tweaking:


Ballasts and grout in place. Yes I do quite like my Italian tiles, hahaha.


No that is not what I used to cut out the wholes, that's my grinder ffs....:mrgreen:


Just got to box this off and make myself a little perch to sit and smoke my kind herb on.:joint::peace:


Looking a bit brighter....yes more pics of the tiles, hahahaha..oh and the air vent coming in of course.:roll:


And the air vent going out...... and into the other air vent for the house and out into the bright blue sky,,,hahahahaha pissing myself, oh no, it's actually pissing it down!!! Dark and dreich! (a great Scottish word, not to be confused with "Dreak" which means to accidentally stick your willy in a girls bum:shock:)



LETS GET ARTISTIC:

BINGO, and there they are, brighter than the Dutch sky will ever be! Remind me to tell you the story about how to measure how powerfull the sun is!:blsmoke:



And the girls all Gezellig!




And finally:


I have still got to put my draining on, but I am thinking of another idea for that so not 100%. But that's it so far folks. Grow on!

How powerfull is your sun. Okay so basically you need a bucket of water and a thermometer. Stick this in the shade and bring to an ambient temperature - around room temperature. Then all you need to do is to take the bucket or tin of water and put that directly in the sun. The sun will begin to heat the water and basically it is the time it takes for the sun to increase the water temperature by 1 degree gives you the power rating of the sun. The programme I watched it on the guy was in Death Valley and he measured the sun at 1kw per metre squared.....which I didn't think was a lot for death valley! Anyway, if I find out the equation I'll let you know.....I am sure google will know.

Nah, just something I found quite interesting on the TV (for a change) Also interesting to see how it compares to the lights we use.

are you gonna go ahead and take the preventative measure to stop them from potentially falling over from the weight of the heavy cola's you'll be dealing with.

Cheers bud. Still some tweaking to be done but happy with it so far.

always fun DST... good shit
Cheers Medi, keeping it on a light hearted note here.

Not sure about that, after re-potting and moving some of the girls around, the shelfs are 30cm wide and none of the pots are light or small enough now for them, to fall over. I am pretty sure about that. I have considered doing a scrog on the bottom with the cheese so may pick up some netting anyway so will have some in house just in case....hopefully that is a problem I have to deal with (heavy colas I mean, not plants falling over, haha)

Cheers geezers,

a scrog on the bottom? wow D, all that hard work would pay off. have u scrogged before?
nah mate, was thinking the scrog because the bx2 cheese is all over the place, and I think once them buds start it's just gonna be hanging all over the place even more. I got 3 cheese clones from that that are also getting their swerve on so was thinking them and the big girl would make a nice scrog on the ground floor. 1st floor habidashery and ladies undies, 2nd floor young womens fashions.....haha
