Thought this was vertical..2000 watt

ya, luckily i only lost 8 pages or so and i use a hosting site for my pics so it'll take me minutes to recoup them, but i feel really terrible for the folks who started their journals within the last month and lost everything....

i was really enjoying your new setup too....... :(
 
Stoopid losing all my pics...

Ok.. this is my veg set up.. I have 100 clones in a closet under a 250 watt HPS.
The shallow immersion is working well as you can see.
 
Ok.. here's some various shots of the veg tower.. it's a hard set up to get good pics in.. but I took a few.. enjoy.
 
Thanks clown - it still has issues that need to get worked out...but a big improvement even over the last vertical set up.
It is really hard to take good pics of though - as you're aware :) but I'll see if I can get some more up... They really are looking nice and healthy.
 
lookin good sticky... are you still rocking the smaller plants under the 600's?

here's week 3 update. I am going to be working on the cowellbox 3.0 over the next few days.. will have some construct pics from that.

I grabbed a few pics tonight.

in the last pics are those mothers?

Ya, the shots from where I'm holding the plant apart (To show node spacing is still pretty tight) to the bottom (like the last 6 pics I think) are all of veg plants. They will all be mothers in 2 weeks... Then they'll have 2 weeks to recover and they are going into flower.
Then the clones I take from the veg plants will have 2 weeks to root (that's long for me right now, 10 days is about average)
Then I am putting them in my veg rack (I will take more pics of that, it got wiped out in the data loss) for 2 weeks, then under the HPS for the final 3 weeks.. they'll get topped after the first week in there.
That should be enough time that the plants going in will be about 12-18" tall... I should be able to fit 20-25 plants per tier and fill the canopy out.

So - I don't really have "mothers", but they all kind of are.
 
This set up sucks for taking pics.. and yes, I need to get my good camera over there.. ipod pics aren't the greatest.
things are looking good.
 
Ok - good camera going over today - have to top up rears and water clones and veg plants... Will be able to update and see who's still around...

I always see that infommercial and want to run out and buy some of that stuff...but for the most part the cooler they make it look---the less cool it actually is... When I was younger my mom I saw infrequently at one time was married to a traveling salesman that sold random awesome products...but he was the infommercial, and since there were no cameras everything had to work properly...he had this tape that looked like elctrical tape, but it was like rubber, so when you wrapped it around something the layers would somehow fuse together and make one large piece of strong flexible rubber...he would wrap a few strips around a pen and then hand it to them...it always interested me when I would get to go along...at one time he was selling window tinting for homes and offices...----ewww one time there was this weirdo that wanted mirror tint on only his office window that overlooked a playground...he said he felt like snooty moms were always looking at him...I never thought about it then since I was a child, but now I realize why my stepdad declined and we fled the area...lol....Weirdo staring at all the kids getting worried cuz the moms can see him...ewwwwwww
 
sorry...got sidetracked by the comment I quoted, but the way you are growing these plants looks Awesome! I would love to do something like it, but........I just can't...I am still trying to reduce everything i have back to seed so I can maybe do a handful at a time 12/12 from seed and then that is it...or something...get all the photos back to seeds and just do autos...I just feel weird like I need less than what I have...which isn't much, but feels sometimes like too much...more than enough for me, anyway...and i am shooting for just me....

I am having an overveg issue...I have more plants vegging then I need and it keeps happening...there is a hitch in my schedule when it comes to vegging while flowering...2-2.5 months to flower is the norm...so I have plants that are vegging that long and they are way too big to flower enough of them...so I end up with plants that have vegged through 2 flower cycles because all the other plants are too big to fit more than one or 2 in flower...the 2 flower cycle girls have been trimmed back twice, and that is really how I do it...I just trim them back when they get too big...but then they are bushier in flower, and thusly the same problem happens...so I want to keep mom plants and just do 12/12 to clone...I just have to wait for what is flowering to finish and then see what all is in the veg tent...I don't even know anymore...it is a big overgrown mess in there...uggghhhhh...and then I am going to clear what i can out of the veg tent and then I am going to take out the cloner and just take clones and then straight to flower they go...and then I put away the cloner... hopefully it will work...


I would have no way to deal with the heat from a setup like yours...I mean where would all the hot air go...then again if I used the same bulbs and space as I do now, what difference could it really make?...I still feel apprehensive about the hot air...but all that looks awesome...I could do something of that size once and then not have to do any of it again for a long time...
 
Hey.. I'd suggest running a few mother plants. Then take clones off it as needed... trim it back regardless of if you need the cuttings or not.. I usually replaced mothers every 3-4 months.. just cause I could.. I could run likely 6 months before I'd want a fresh plant in there.
This set up is hard to get good pictures of.. I always thought :how hard can it be to take pics from the top or bottom... ya... it doesn't work that way either.

Update coming... from GOOD camera.

Lookin nice man. Looks like you might be able to fit another row of plants?

Yup, it's a 4 teir rack, only have the bottom 3 filled on this run... Next run willbe a full system... And a few more tweaks to the set up shouldn't hurt either... I'm impressed with things so far.
