Still rocking your RDWC design. Got my biggest plant last grow at a bit over 20oz. Green crack. Was under a 480w LED with a half ass scrog (neglected it and then bent the branches over week 4 of flower). Aiming to do better this round.

You still getting dragged through the shit legally?

Greetings, I'm here because I was invited to join here by Logic- at The Head Case farm.

Apparently he and his sycophants convinced themselves I didn't have anything valuable to contribute.

I'm here in the vertical section to share my ideas and get some tips.

First, a quick description of what I'm doing; vertical grow around a single bare thouie hung vertically, using field fencing as trellis. I run two sections of fencing, each 4' x 6'3" long and use them to create a tube 4' tall x 4' in diameter. I only run one plant per trellis, and here's where it gets a lil interesting; I put the plant against the OUTSIDE of the trellis, and only let the growing tips through. Each panel for a plant is 25 ft², and so each tube has 50 ft².

Roots are in RDWC, 27 gallon tuffboxes, airless aeration, environmental control is by water chiller. Not just the tubs, either; everything is water cooled, including dehuey and temperature management.

I've already got one run under my belt; Dairy Queen did reasonably well for being topped and trained for a horizontal canopy grow before they got put into vert! They never got terribly big, and they definitely overcrowded themselves, both easy fixes.

Now, I'm running three vertical tubes in the room and the girls are much bigger. So far, so good...

How long does it take during the veg cycle to cover something like that. I am blown away by this idea. Combined with monster cropping.

From fresh cutting to bloom ready on a trellis panel this size takes several months. That's why I didn't do it all in the same room, but rather moved the plants from place to place during cloning through early and then late veg. Yes, the plants were fully portable; they were carried from room to room and it was easier when they were clipped onto the trellis panel because it was all one piece.

Only when they were bloom ready for they go into the bloom room, time soooooo they went in 30 minutes or less after the finished batch they replaced came out.

I'm happy to discuss the deets, from nutes to space requirements to lighting and climate control.

I'm working on a start-up now that combines this with my HVAC know-how to cut commercial facility energy requirements by 2/3.

Proly easier to do with LEDs now. lol

Is LEDs even the rights light for vert? Bulbs make sense cause when bulbs are horizontal you are only making use of one side. LED light all you have is one side. Doing vert led seems like the only benefit is less footprint.
