Club Vert(600)

nice settup and plants , a noob question in , vert grown it doesnt matter that the stalk is so skinny? you train the plants in the wire ?

When I ran my dual octos, I had plant numbers that had me feeling uncomfortable. If I was a better grower like whodat, I would have been able to keep plant numbers down, and still get a better yield.

I guess it doesn't matter that the stalk is so skinny, and yes I train the plants to the wire thats why its there.

Aw come on man, Iv seen those monsters you grow,,, you aint foolin no one!
But yeah having high plant numbers is VERY nerve wracking! Maybe with this "gov shutdown" the fuking biggest waste of all the DEA will shut down as well, then I will go all out lol

Seedless grows amazing outdoor plants. You've seen a few of those.

The indoor always had me scratching my head really.

I need the secret to the HUGE outdoor plants!!

I wont go crazy and grow 50 of em otr anything, but man would I love to grow 1 or 2 of them next yr!!

Please anyone-everyone tell me the secrets........

I think it just getting a half decent veg in before they go outside and when they go outside its early in the outdoor veg part of the season. Also, plenty of kick ass soil probably doesnt hurt.

As far as I know, good veg before going outside, good soil, enough water, and really good pest control (fences above ground and root cages underground). And lots of sun!!!!

I'm sure seedless has some tips.

Oh cant forget sun exposure hrs! Thats kind of important and ofcourse genetics are always playing a role in everything we do.

Yeah I just cant get enough sun here.
I have chopped so many trees and branches, but there are still ones blocking me that I cant chop.
Ill dig hole(s) as deep and wide as I can next yr and get lots of soil ready in advance.
Ill keep working on trees, and see if neighbors will let me chop theirs as well lol!!

As far as genetics, what should I run for a big girl or girls?
Also from seed or clone better?

same old Purple Moroccan, got cold out for a few nights and they purpled right up.

there not filling in as quick as i want it to though, i hit them with the 0-10-10 last watering so hopefully that helps

Ive had clones grow 10 feet tall, and 5 feet wide. Sun, nutes, loose soil, and more sun. I like to veg indoors for a couple months before I put them outdoors, and I do put them out as early as possible. No later than mothers day. Strain obviously plays a role in final weight, but ive only come across 1 strain I couldnt get to yeild outdoors, and that was Larry OG. Tried to get it to produce for 3 years, but could only get a QP per plant. Ive pulled over 3 pounds off Banana OG clones, I think I got 1 1/2 pounds off a DOG clone last year. I attribute my success to strains, over abundance of sun, and quality nutes. I didnt start using "natural" nutes until this year. I have always used Heavy 16 nutes. Im hoping for a 5 pound plant next year. Let me say that weight aint shit if the weed isnt top notch. I would rather have a pound of dank than 5 pounds of mids.

This looks like the busiest thread in the vertical forum, so think i will ask here. What is another word for stadium. Out of the 46 pages on this thread "stadium" only brought up 3 posts. Thanks in advance, trying to do plenty of research prior to throwing the clones in.

That's the main name for it. Some people might say steps or terraces buy mostly peeps say stadium. Google - site:rollitup.org stadium

there are a ton of threads.

Very few are hydro though, thats what i'm looking for. Hydro tubes

Ahhh, well I just don't think too many people do that kinda thing. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 in my years on the site. Although I don't get around much to be honest. Good luck looking around and feel free to ask any questions you got, someone on here might be able to help. I know strictly seedless has done a flooded tube stadium wrap around type grow, with bare bulbs on light movers. He might know a thing or two.

Yeah thats the thing most i've seen have been like heath's where they just go in circles. I just want to kind of do a stinkbud style but setup in the stadium form. Any reason people would stray away from it? I know not many people do vertical anyway so thats probably part of it....

I swear I've seen a few people doing just that. No reason I see to stay away. To me it's just a little more complicated having the multiple inlets, or whatever you want to call them. But not something to keep me away. That's kinda what Seedless had going on, and I had another friend do what you are talking about. 3 horse shoes one inside the next, pump filled all 3 and they drained into a big rez at the end.

So how much slope should hydro have? W/ my current measurement of 6inches out 10inches up steps I have about 55degrees slope.

1 inch drop per 4 feet is code for plumbing. So thats the minimum. I didnt use much more slope than that. I wouldnt go more than 1inch per foot, but thats just me. I have seen tiered setups at 45 degrees.
