Jigfresh's Closet Flooded Tube Vert Scrog - 1000w

[Endur0xX]

NICE FLOWERS JIG, you make me rethink my scrogging technique!! The Vertical would work so well for me, I am having the hardest time watering my plants with my current setup. On my next grow, Can I just remove the hoods on my 400s and put the light vertically or I would need special bulb for this?

Thanks for checking it out bekind. And dropa... glad to hear things are moving right along. Sounds like Grandpa made a sucess of his life. I'd like to die at 91 with 7 grand kids. I'm guessing you meant 3 great grand kids. Anyhow... glad to hear he is relaxing now. It's tough seeing anyone, be it a relative or an outdoor cat, suffering. And while it is a bit hard on us sometimes when they move on, it is such a relief for them that they can rest. I can only imagine the good conversations our grandparents are having with their loved ones wherever they are now.

Ain't it crazy fellas... one day we will die too. Ha, the first thing that makes me think of is how silly we are worrying and complaining about some of the stuff we do (at least me). I mean, we are alive... ain't that reward enough. And we are blessed enough to at least be able to grow weed. Shit is good.

Politicians and Governments be damned. They can never take our happiness, our will to live, our love. And so we continue on... turning our heads away from the pile of BS they put in front of us. We turn away to a different vision of harmony. An existence they can not understand. What we need is love, patience, and understanding amongst eachother. We need to see that we are all one. And that we are only here a short time.

Life is too beautiful to be upset

Happy weekend guys.

Glad you stopped in. Bulbs are individually rated for horizontal, vertial, base up, base down, and universal. I think that is all the classifications. Basically that is how thew were designed to be positioned. They will work in the other positions, but it will reduce their life. Nothing really bad about it, just that you are killing your bulb. If it's universal, then it can go any direction (i bet you figured that one out, lol). It usually says in the little notes on the bulb, like 250/s59/v/120 something like that. The V means vertical. Might be H, BU, BD, U. So yeah... that's what's up.

I hope you skimmed through this journal, because the good pics are from the first grow (in this journal). Well at least the best at maximizing the set up. Right now I'm just wasting light growing a couple nice plants, haha. I'm gonna step up my game next round I promise.

Insightful words there brother jig, well said.

Yes I clicked on a bunch of random pages, I did find really nice pics!! But I was hoping to find a video kind of like the one in the first page but with plants in it What kind of harvest are you getting out this setup!?

 

[jigfresh]

I've run the flooded tube deal 3 times now. The first time was only the one level, with 4 querkle plants and 1 oddysey. I got 10 zips. The next grow was with the two level setup like it is now. I ran 10 sour kush plants and got 18 oz. Last run I had 3 Larry OG and 5 Banana OG and got only 8 zips from that round.

This time I got 5 dogs, 1 herijuana, 1 ny47, and 1 OG kush... hoping for 10 oz.

I should be pulling 20 oz easy. Going to try harder next time. Not be so lazy.

Ask and ye shall receive...

I'm hoping the temps stay cool with my bare bulb in there so cross your fingers for me Jig. If the temps are good I'll swap the ballast and bulb for the 1000 and see how that goes. I have to try this first though because I won't have a functioning 1000 HPS bulb until tomrrow afternoon when UPS comes

I'm still jealouos of your system every time I see it. Hopefully mine will give me good results.

lolol.... Good shit bro. I owe you a bowl or two. You're making me laugh hard. I definitely think coherent text is the hater antidote.

Hope it's all worth it.

 

[supchaka]

It was a good read. I laughed, I cried, I shit myself. I had alot of comments or questions pop up but I didn't want to distract myself. Of course now I'm stoned and forgotten what I read but it's all good! Good luck with having a kid, I've got 4 of my own and there were 2 miscarriages so I know how it feels a bit. Liked the skunk on the porch story... I do remember that... Lol anyways take care.

 

[jigfresh]

Cheers bro. Glad you got through it all and enjoyed the enjoyable parts. Life's tough sometimes, but it's nice to share the journey with good peeps. Thanks a lot for checking it out... and thanks for the well wishes. I appreciate you posting.

Hope you had a good sunday.

I had a pretty good one. My nascar driver won the championship today. The whole thing ended up a tie between my guy Tony Stewart and the other guy Carl Edwards. But Tony aka Smoke won the tie breaker because he won more races. Was really really exciting (if you are into that kinda thing).

Now there is only the MLS final and a school project to wrap up. Long day. (especially with no smoke)

I cant stop thinking of a mini version of your closet with a 150 hps. Thinking 3" pipe, 12/12 straight from clone. Only using small clones 2" netpots with like 4" spacing. I need to do some math... which I hate. But I have a vision to work with! What are your thoughts?

 

[supchaka]

I have a question now! Sober again... how many inches is the light from the PVC?

Here's what Im thinking... Adding some pics, sorry if its hijacking ill delete them. Aero style, So we take this 3" drain pipe and coil it around the cab/closet held in place with hangers, 2 or 3 levels maybe ohhh 12" apart. Then run 1/2 drip line through the pipe with offset 360 sprayers mounted to it. The drain and drip should go together well since they both come in a similar size roll. Are you picking up what Im putting down? lol its making all kinds of sense in my head at least. ive thought about adding a fogger to it as well, but one step at a time!

 

[jigfresh]

Hey chaka... I'm working on a presentation I have to give in class this afternoon. I'll reply this evening. Is that Lowes? I only started going there after Home Depot stopped sponsoring my favorite Nascar driver.

by the way... 2011 Nascar champion: TONY STEWART. My favorite driver... and in a way responsible for hooking me and my wife up.

Was a good day yesterday.

if we could all live like this...

Good to see you Kev. Glad the house is coming together. The weather here has been killing any outside (and inside for that matter) productivity. Raining and Cold. It's a good thing I have so many new video games to play, ha. How's things with the animals? anything new? the chickens doing well?

BKB, glad you finally got that recipe you've been after. Hell, I need to post it here for my folks as well:

pumpkin cheesecake -
hands on time 25 minutes - total time 2 H 25 minutes (includes chilling) - serves 8 [lol... or 2 potheads]

For the Crust-
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from 14 graham crackers)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling
1.25 oz envelope unflavored gelatin
1 - 8 oz bar cream cheese, at room temp
1 - 15 oz can pumpkin puree
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Make the crust-
Heat oven to 400 deg F. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Transfer to a 9 inch springform pan. Using a straight-sided dry measuring cup, press the mixture into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of the pan. Bake until set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.

Make and chill the filling-
Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup boiling water. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the pumpkin, sour cream, sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla. Mix in the gelatin mixture until incorporated.

Pour the mixture into the crust and refrigerate, covered, until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.

Hope you enjoy bro! Maybe enjoy some for Thanksgiving.
