my 8-10k watt kush grow

yo bro with all that light you got you should just take off those reflectors and hang those hps vertically... you will get a better yield man you will be using all those lumens right....


also lowwer the lights a bit and raise them has needed for plant growth.

also you can fit more plants under those 1000 watters... atleast like 9-10..... but like 20 medium sized plants forreal though

yeah i got the reflectors because i was gonna do screen of green, but i have done the vertical bulbs before hanging down and loved it. got really good yield. i only got this many plants because i can't go over what i have in the flower room. i'm at my limits. believe me i wish i could go more. i was going to. but decided against it last minute. once they flip and double in size those these bitches are gonna fill in that empty space quick quick man. so i should be pulling down atleast a pound a light. probably 1.5 i'm guessing. don't think i'm gonna hit 2 on this grow, but can't win em all yunno.

the reason the hoods were so high because i just got all the ducting right to cool the room evenly, and some of the plants were heat stressed, but they are all bouncing back now, so i will be lowering the hoods tonight. thanks for the advice my man.

with the amount of light you have you should be getting least 1.5 lbs per 1k light!!! but like we both know if you went verticle and used more plants you would be getteing over 2 pounds a light.... prolly around 1.2 g.p.w. if you got zoned in real well... but i feel ya gotta keep it within the law lol...... sounds funny to read that... anyway im subscribed for sure good luck to you bro

hey express. this one is for you. thanks for bringing out the perfectionist in me. i will be adding 48 sour bubble clones halfway through flower. fuck you for making watering a living hell for me, and blinding me.

haha ur supposed to wear sunglasses in ur grow room

Nice grow. Gonna have some really big plants. How long did you veg for?

nice bru!!!! I'm trying to get on your level I'm from a medi state too.

thanks guys.

i vegged for awhile. i got some really really really shitty clones on 4/20. they weren't even rooted. so they rooted a week later and that is when veg began. so i'd say 41 days. and as for going big. ya gotta start somewhere. good luck on your journey friend.

man, you are my new hero. im upgrading to 4x my light now on my next grow and i wont even be close to you. and damn if only i lived in a medi state.

nice show man. subbed. looks like your getting way more use out of the lights since you hung them verticle.

Sweet Jesus... now that is a sight! Very interested to see how your grow turns out.

hey chitown,

do you think if i changed my 600w HPS to vertical with my 6 plants in my tent i would have enough light for all of them? if you want pics, check my sig. i have a pic of all my plants. also how close to the bulb should they be?

and ham sorry for thread jacking. just envious of your grow and seeing your vert is making me want mine. if you can answer my question or anyone answer it it would be greatly appreciated and ill +rep

i have 6 plants around each light right now...in a month it'll be 12. so you should def have enough room. when you go vertical you also don't have to worry about height restrictions. one time, i had a 4.f foot basement that was like 30 long feet by 50 feet wide by 4.5 feet high. i hung down my bulbs vertical and all the plant were around 4.5 feet high when they were done, and i pulled some serious weight off those things.
another advantage i have noticed using this method. less heat, it seems like the hoods radiate heat. a better yield for sure. i agree that i am def. using the light more beneficially now. the room just seems so much brighter.

this is my preferred method of growing, but for some reason i went with hoods for this grow because i wanted to give scroging a try. that went out the window though now, and i am planning on pulling down 1.5 from each light for sure now. than another 1.5 from the plants i am going to add. *crosses fingers*

man i bet you can get 2 a light. thats a lil under a gram a watt. the only thing im worried about in verticle is the outside of the plants. the parts not on the inside of the circle.

In Canada, it's very cheap when it comes to pounds...
1600$-2000$ a pound.

Sure you can get dope for that price but it ain't nothing fancy that's for sure.
For $1600 your getting shitty dope.
And for $2000 your getting some dope that was probably from a CGE Operation.
Sure it's alright dope but grown to make money I promise you it wasn't cured for a month.
