I scrapped the three large plants in 3 gallon coco hempy's.They were just too big for my liking and to be honest had a rough life in that cocotek coir.They were showing severe deficiencies and by the time they had bounced back and I switched the bulb to vert,they had suffered too much.It is never good to flower out plants that had suffered as bad as thet did.

Good news is that after scrapping them I took my seven rooted clones that are in 4" pots of Canna Coco being fed with Coco A and B,threw them in the tent under the 400w HPS (back in the reflector,for vertical and lateral node stacking) and have them vegging away right now and all I can say at this point is Canna Coco FTMFW!

They are really taking off in this stuff and loving it and the A and B.

I'll have pics up by tonight as promised a week ago so you can see what a difference just one week in the Canna Coco being fed 2ml per gallon of water each Coco A and B has done them.

Figure I'll veg until 16" to 24" and then flip to 12/12 (vertical bare bulb of course) after topping and training to a screen.

Stay tuned guys,I've git a good feeling about this should I be able to keep temps under control.

ya i tried to tell him that he could do better.. but he thinks hes the best grower in the world so i just let him keep fucking his shit up.. if he wont take advice .. then let him learn the hardway.

Well like I told you in the k+ I left you,I am by no means the best grower in the world,not even close.And a competent grower should be able to get a pound per 600w HPS but that's also strain dependent.Some strains just aren't yielders but are straight fire when it comes to quality.

I didn't lose them per say,but decided to scrap them because of the stress they had gone through in shitty GH Cocotek coir.Screw bricks of coir,way too many inconsistencies...bagged pre hydrated/rinsed and pre buffered/charged with Cal/Mag Canna Coco ftw!

Porn later tonight.

Clones have been in Canna Coco and under a 400w HPS for eight days,being fed 2ml each of Coco A and B per gallon of water,pH'd between 5.5 and 6.0

3x3x6 tent isn't that much space.

If I owned the place I'd get more electric service and have a bigger main and subpanel and be running a sealed mother/clone/veg room and a flower room...or be running 4x 5x5 tents on flip flop.

Yeah, I've been wanting to set up a tent like structure, but they're expensive, even if you just buy the material and construct it yourself. I'm on an insanely tight budget just having that sort of enclosed space would be pretty great.
But honestly' you're the reason I'm attempting barebulb vertical attempt in my grow box. My ventilation is sufficient to keep things cool I believe. But I'll know tonight for sure. :D Wish me luck!

Also, question...? All the plants in the pics are clones? Some ,large clones, do you notice advantages to taking such large cuttings instead of the smaller size I take and typically see others taking?

I disagree with the coco bricks. I break them up and soak for a day in calmag. Then I squeeze the excess out, and break whatever chunks are left. Then rinse with PH'd Calmag. Bricks work with a little extra effort, and save money.

Nice Clones you got there. I just got a new 600w a/c hood I can't wait to try out

I definitely need to try a bare bulb vert grow sometime after seeing your results. Good luck on this one!

I care not to do all that.

Bricks suck and Canna rules,all else drools.

That's because they exploded in the Canna Coco.

So the clones WERE smaller when you took them, they just rooted, and grew quickly due to the medium you had them in then?
