I follow your work, so understanding it is a must and that is why I asked the question. Thanks for the info my friend.

Just wanting to get this correct positivity, you turn off all other LED's and just run the REDS for the 6 minutes ? Why not run the flower power for the last 30 minutes of the light cycle, or are you trying to control stretch of the plant with the shorter time ?

That is the idea. The fan blowing upward moving the hot air from the bulbs to the top where it is exhausted. It is also a help if you have the fresh cool air coming in at the bottom near this lower fan. If you have SGROG'ed horizontally before, than all is the same just the screen is vertically.

This is just some things I learned and did over the past years, nothing of it is new really. The only thing I found myself doing a bit that others did not was I would remove bud sites. I did a horizontal scrog grow once with over 250 bud sites, all over the screen in a 2' x 3' area, man did I...

Each to their own, but I was raised to not believe all that is said and not all that is read, rather research and see what is the truth about something so that I can draw my own conclusion. So, if I germinate in the dark, what sex am I getting ? Well I have germinated seed in the dark and lots...

After reading this and a few other links, they speak much more about optimal conditions and stress. Later it is mentioned about the light, but again that does not show numbers and a study done to prove what is written. I have experience in grow and germination of seeds, never did I have a light...

How does red light cause a seed to sprout male and not female ? In the making of seed on the plant there is a much higher ratio of male than female, if naturally done. This factor is because it takes a males pollen to female flower to make seed. It is a weed that does have a natural desire to...

and this means I should read up on his research ? Educate myself a bit more about it all ? I can

thanks puffenuff, I was floored at their price, I will never be able to afford them. I will just play with my reptile UVB lamp if I think the girls need it. Very nice link and thanks for the help.

If you can, maybe do one plant growing tall, clean up lower end, move in the younger plant and top it, train those branch's to feel in that lower area. Kinda stage them up the vertical screen. If it works well than you can do them all that way the next run. All I know is when I do it (top the...

Is there such a thing as a UVB emitting LED out there ? If so can I get a link to where I can purchase them from.

ttystikk, if you are not worried about plant count or have room, let some plants get taller for the upper end of the screen/trellis area. Remove them lower branch's you know you will not use. Bring in younger smaller vegy'ed plants for the lower end of the trellis/screen. Now you give a week or...

Exchanging the volume of the grow area every minute, hum, kinda remember talk about it, but never pushed my grow area to that limit. The smaller high heat grow box I did in the closet I did, used a 465cfm blower for a 2' x 3' by 5' tall grow box, but had a 400 watt hps in it and needed to move...

One other thing, not bad mouthing any one, but since 1998 I have learned that if you look and dig hard enough you will find that some one already tried or did what you think is new with this plant. I think the only think that comes up new is system designs, but the principal of how it works was...

How did this vertical grow start, hummmm, well back in early 2000 on OverGrow.com and Cannabis World.com we did Scrog and Sog, a lot talked about yields and plant count in the method of growing. Now Shelf growing was another type in limited space. Lights can be hung vertically or horizontally...

no matter what you want fresh air coming into the grow area, best down low near the floor, and the exhaust near top opposite of the intake side. A small fan moving the air around the plant is great for a few factors. Venting the exhaust of the scrubber up into the attic space is a good idea over...

The putting together part is actually fun spazatak, the real work is doing all the searching and figuring out what you want and how many LED's and where to get the quality so no ordering mistakes are made. I rushed a bit and over ordered or wrote down the wrong number and had reorder's. Looking...

spazatak, you can do it. I built all my hoods and some grow systems to save money. Jumped feet first on LEDs, wish I had found this site first, but Positivity helped me a lot and I am proud of my new LED tower. It is everything I wanted and not updated LED's, but it will provide for me. ( I can...

see if I can get a pic Okay this is my way/ system that I built. A personal 2ft tall screen that is 6ft long wrapped around a steel rod frame I made that uses 3 plants. Originally I used a 400watt HPS to light it up, now I am going to use this LED tower. The key of this is I vegy the...

I really like your rotation idea with the motor, I rotated mine by hand when I did it, but I am retired and loved being in the grow room. The secret is, did it all grow to your expectation?
