Thought this was vertical..2000 watt

Like I said, in a few months I'll know how my strains are doing, and may crack a few kandy kush to add a second room. (once this harvest goes I will hopefully have enough to set up another room straight away)... they are feminized, so I likely won't be so lucky as to draw a male there.

Breeding your own strains, nice! I hope the hybrid vigour finds you well :bigjoint:

They look really great!

Thanks, I am pretty happy with things so far.. I'll throw some pics up either tonight when lights come on - or tomorrow..(may be out late tonight :) )
 
Cowell i like the room, man.

Glad to see you finally got it set up. How big is the room you're using? And what is the height of your shelves from top to bottom?

Thanks - Your grow is what got my ideas flowing on this set up - so thank you.
The room OD is 5x5. The shelves are 6" in. I have the shelves at 18" apart right now.. I'm not using the top row of shelves - was planning on doing a perpetual harvest on 4 week cycle, so didn't have the plant stock ready when I got it going. I like that spacing for moving plants around, but I may go a little closer next round and get the 4th row in play.. maybe go like 14" apart. Top shelf was set for 6 feet, but I'm going to move them together and raise the set up about 8 inches to help get some better airflow through the fan.
So that will change - but I don't know to what yet.
I'm loving the light penetration the plants are getting compared to a horizontal grow.
 
hey curious whats the mesurment from the socket to the socket of the bulbs? tryna get n idea for the right size cooltube.. thanks
 
Id have to measure, but they are about 3 feet apart - 1000 watters. I wouldn't do cool tube in a vert set up. Just try bare bulb with a good exhaust and you'll love it.
 
Sorry, been busy over the holidays - will update tomorrow with some new pics.. everything is going good.. still green.
Dropped the hours to 10/14 today.
 
A very informative grow. I just started a vertical 1000watter in a cool tube, and if my results are anything like yours, I'll be pleased. Surface area with the vertical grow was enough for myself to want to try it.

Are these plants from seed? What is your ventilation scheme like? Always interested

Thanks.. hopefully things keep growing the way they are and I'll be a happy camper. I hope to see at least a few lbs for sure.

Lights go back on tonight - I'll take some pics then, but one of the biggest things I like about the vertical set up is that the entire plant is getting exposure to the light.. even the lower bud sites are swelling up really well.

There are some from seed and some clones in the flower room...the lower racks are all the ones from seed... they are the bigger plants, but have been topped multiple times etc for clones.. now I have clones of the phenotypes I'm liking growing out to be new moms.
I have RP kandy kush seeds waiting for my next set up - but these are all my own accidental crosses I figured I'd risk them first in the new set up, but they seem to be doing well.

I don't have a big enough exhaust fan.. 6" vortec through a carbon scrubber. I will go up to 8" on this room size for next grow as it does get pretty warm in there - but so far not to the detriment of the plants. Want to add C02 for next upgrade, that should make a big difference in final weight as well.

If you have anything to ask or add - feel free, it's a simple system and seems to be working well.
 
dam simon...!! hope santa brought you good stuff.. he brought me headlights for his sleigh in the form of a dual 600 watter with hoods and digital ballasts
