That is amazing looking. So wish I could taste it. Got any pics of the setup?

Yeah that's beautiful. Nice job there!

Tah Dah!! 4 weeks into 12/12 on the left side, and the right side just got in there tonight. I will be adding a bottom tier later, right above the res'. The plants on the floor are in 3"x3"x4" delta rockwool cubes, and they are doing really well. I have them on coco mat in the black cloning trays, really simple. I have to water them by hand, but if i had thought about it I could have put them on a drip system. Not too bad for plants I was going to get rid of. As for the pipes, I love the simplicity of just one pump that runs all the time. Make sure you have a back up on hand, and your good. I will be adding an air pump to the res' tommorow. Im hoping the roots look whiter with more air.

Kick ass SS!!

thanks Dez. My only complaint about the new setup is that you have to be a monkey to get in and out. when I get the plants on the floor out of there it will be much easier to move in and out. Im still trying to figure out how im going to layout the bottom tiers (not assembled yet). Jig had a good idea for utilizing the most space. I will be hooking those up after each side is harvested.

Man, after reading this thread, I'm looking around my room, lol. The only things that makes me think twice is bag seed Oh well, just have to keep my kool

Great Pics

pretty simple, pretty ghetto

I don't know why you think it's ghetto, Seems pretty straight foward to me. I'm a fan of using Mylar on the walls myself and it's really hard to beat the efficiency of the box fans. They move a lot of air without drawing a lot of electricity. I have one and it will be back in use ince the new room is up.

hi everyone, this has been a great read and i am very interested in it. i am setting up a grow room and i am doing research on what method to use. i do have a few questions can anyone help me out? those trees i see here are beautiful but how long does it take from start to finish? and should i just let the plant do it's thing or should it be topped? space is not an issue i have a 11'x14' room to grow in. i have never heard of a vertical grow before this is cool.

The big plants I grew with the wrap around screen thing, those took me 8 weeks in veg, and I should have chopped them after 9 weeks. So about 17 weeks from rooted clone. I don't do seeds so much, so I don't know how long from planting a seed it would take.

Topping really depends on what you are planning on doing. Sometimes it's a great idea, sometimes not so much. Plus some strains react better than others too it.

Welcome to the vertical side! And welcome to RIU my friend.

thanks jig, i see that the rooms most are using are small. i have a 11'x14' room and was thinking of splitting it up into three. two 6'x6' and one 5'x6'. i am thinking of putting six plants in each of the 6'x6' rooms and making the 5'x6' my veg. is my thinking right and if so
are those rooms going to be big enough?

wow so much of this stuff looks so impressive, but i keep finding that i am tilting my head sideways when i am looking at the pictures lol
sorry, im just an old skool horizontal grower, ill get this vertical stuff under my belt one day

nope, those rooms sound way too small. j/k giving you a hard time. Sounds like you need to read up on more rooms. Jigs room is a linen closet, dez has tents, I have a 10'x40' room. First thing is to decide if you are going vertical or horizontal. then get busy checking out every vertical or horizontal design you can find.

Ha... like Seedless says, those aren't going to be big enough, lol. Man I would die with all that room. Fucking awesome bro. Sounds like a good plan 6x6 and 5x6. I am thinking of making a larger space as well. One thing I thought of is a place to dry stuff as well. If you are going to be pulling a couple/few pounds per harvest you will need a place to hang all that stuff. You could use the veg space... just budget where when constructing.

And like SS said as well read up a lot. Find out exactly what you would like to do, and plan from there. I've probably 'wasted' $2,000-3,000 changing my setup over and over. It's cool because I found what I liked... but I would like to have that money back as well.

No matter what I'm sure you'll do alright. You're starting off on the right foot hanging with the crew we got here (if I do say so myself, haha).

thanks ss and thanks jig, ok so my room size is good for what i want to do, cool. i have a 1000w hps/mh ballast, is that enough light for six plants?

It depends on how big they are really. I have 10 around my 1000w. But they aren't too big. I think people say 1000w is good for a 4x4 space. I don't think a single 1000 would cover the whole 6x6 area but you could use it in one of them and it would do alright. Hope that helps a little.

i have two so i could run 2000w. a friend of mine has a ak47x northern lights cross that i am going to run first. he says that they get real bushy and five feet tall. he said when they start growing they are kinda lanky but fill in when budding.

is it true that 600w lights put out just about as much power as 1000 w and use less power?

i should have said, is it true that 600w lights put out just as much light as a 1000w but are more effient?
