I think this is a pretty cool 1200w grow

Im doing a vertical growth with an octagon in my 5' x 6' closet. Im dealing with spider mites again, but im feeling pretty confident I can get rid of them and not just "control" them. The vertical growth pic is from an old grow. Im thinking the little ones should be ready in 3 weeks. Ive got 22 plants per tier. It looks really cool at the end of the growth when all the plants fill in like a weed water fall.

Looks like the ladies will be ready in about 2 weeks. The spider mites are in remission, but i will be keeping an eye out for those little bastards. The starting line up is Blue Dream, Platinum OG, and OG.

The little ones are growing well, but I went on a 3 day weekend and should have changed the reservoirs before I left. The claw set in, but the new growth is looking good. I give them about 2 more weeks before the go in the octagon. The big ones in the second picture are going outside.

Ive got 99 ladies, and 88 will be put into the octagon in 10 days. My issue with this setup is always, the lack of space. I need moms to keep it going, but the little ones need more room to stretch their limbs. I have 4 romulan in the mix, and 2 of them will go outside in a couple weeks. There is also a Bannana that I got weeks ago, but it doesnt look like the bannana I've grown before, not sure what im going to do with that one.

Plants don't absorb light on the underside of their leaves, that is a lot of wasted light and not enough all around.

Question Strick, did you use 1/8 bends or 1/16 elbows (45 or 22 1/2 degree) I am guessing 1/16 bends to make 8 sides? And your welcome. edit: 45's. for 8 sides. 22 1/2 for 16 sides. You have my mind a racing. I have seen a few similar setups and have always wanted to try it. See a fall project brewing. rep back for your cool setup.

they are 45s. It costs about $120 for each tier when you use 4" pipe. I have used a couple 6" setups with a 6' diameter...mine is 5'. These setups are efficient as efficient gets.
