72 plant vertical cage! UK GROW!!!

[S.O.T.G.]

Sweet setup bra, have seen them all over the place and at all the expos but never really seen one in full effect. Lookin very good!

About the robbery shit, man these days it is a must to have your own camera and alarm system. I also just got robbed last month of ( speaking worst case scenario) 4kg. of some of the best bud in Amsterdam, and thats no joke! Especially when you think about all the love and effort put into it and a few days before harvest someone on the inside steals my shit!!! So 20,000euros down the drain and a whole lot of pissed off people!
What is the motto, trust no one!!! And if you must limit it to 2or3 people and no more seeing as then u can oversee that justice will be served if the shit hits the fan!!!

Keep it clean and keep it green!!!

All the best man,

S.O.T.G.

sound s.o.t.g.....thats the worst part about it nobody new it was their apart from me and my partner! was just a purley random burglery! little shit must of been gobsmaked when he seen the set-up! dont worry i know where he lives! .
like i said the grow had been up for over 3 years without 1 problem! had only just got it how i wanted! was pulling 65 oz from 4 400 with only 58 plants! with all 72 in the system it would be more like 75-80 oz.
i had onlhy just moved up to 4 600s aswell wen i got burgled so never got to see what yeild increas their would of been.....anyways enuf dewling on the past, wats dones done ay....mrc

Very nice set-up indeed mr.cheese.
How big of a reservoir do you have?

Sucks to hear about the burglary. It almost hurts to pull down a perfectly functional operation.

tell me bout it mate, took me 3 yrs to get the room perfect aswell, only instaled the split 12,000 btu a/c last crop aswell! waste of bloody time now!

for my res u use 120ltr with 4500hr pump for the drippers.
uses around 20-30ltr of water/nutes daily.....ph stays realy stble at 5.9, will drift to say 6.3 over 3 days, never leave the system more than 3 days at a time so that fine.


well im a happy bunny today had my 1st bit of my much loved bubblegum x cheese 2day since the burges!!!! tell ya lads iv been gaging soooo much for spliff of this sh+t, its shit man, cuz im the only person with this strain when im out of bud thats it NOBODYS got it! tell ya its shit wen i aint got any,
its not pukka pukka tho cuz i took just 1` plant 1 1/2 weeks early, one that got stressed so wasnt all that, was just getting in the way so chop chop for her. still gives you a nice buzz just dont smell n look as good still kicks ur tho. it will do for now tho! the big chop comes next week!!!!!

 

[mr cheese]

well i must admit iv been a bit lazy with this thread1 im on week 7 now! lol they will all be getting the big chop this weekend so ill take me cam n take some harvest pics, took the cam yesterday but bloody batts died on me even tho i charged em! anyways catch ya all later

 

[ethereal]

nice cage!

 

[mr cheese]

nice cage!

cheers mate, i must say she is my baby! made by my very own hands dont ya know! lol

 

[ethereal]

its interesting because i havent seen those particular column units for sale before. i have seen the cage and the cube and the window garden... but this looks different.. did those terracotta colored columns have a name when u picked them up?

 

[THENGINEER]

could you give A more detailed writeup on the setup of your grow? this looks pretty badass

 

[mr cheese]

its interesting because i havent seen those particular column units for sale before. i have seen the cage and the cube and the window garden... but this looks different.. did those terracotta colored columns have a name when u picked them up?

hahaha yer they got a name! lol their 6inc underground sewer t-ee pices! lol pure d.i.y project mate, thats why i said built by my very hands.

the whole system without pumps lights fans ect ect only cost me £600 which compaired to the shop sold units like the coli or cage is dam cheap,lol.

basicaly its 72 of these 30deg tee-pices connected together to form 12 columes with 6 tees (plant sites) in each colum, these are then connected to the base of the columes which is straite tee pices connected together with 30deg connectors so basicaly is a 6ft round base in 2 halfs which the columes slot into. thats whats better with my cage and the original its in 2 halfs so u can pull it apart to make more room, plus iv got lot more room between plants than the orig cage, i get on average 1-1 1/2 oz a plant.
as you can see in the pic the system is sat ontop of a wooden frame, this is made to have a slight slope to allow the nutes to return to the res.


the whole system is filled with diced rockwool, takes around 3 90ltr bags, those big blue ones.
each colum is feed via a 4mm tube which comes off a 13mm pipe straite to the pump with a one way valve to keep pressure in the tube, makes life for the pump easier.
the nutes are then pass down the cloumes feeding the plants, the nutes then return to the res, i use a 120ltr res which they drink around 20-30 ltrs a day.

i only veg the plants for 2 weeks max then flip em, thats what i love about vert growin, the speed of it with higher yeilds! cant ask for more can we!

as u can see from the pics the lights are hung in a giant 5ft cool tube with a 6inc fan connected to an outside vent blowing cool air past the bulbs straite into the loft, no need to worry about smell.
for that i use a 8inc fan n filter with another 6inc for intake.
i do have a split 12,00 btu air con but just prefer in/out vents.




all the best....mrc

 

[reefa cheefa]

HELL YEAH love the set up man Crazy and .. ballsy i like ur style.

Keep it rockin.

 

[greengaz]

I'm really impressed with your creativity with the under ground pipe work you've used to build your cage set up. Very nice work!!!!

 

[J-Roc]

that is definatly one of the coolest things ive ever seen
thanks so much mr cheese
k+ for you

 

[mr cheese]

safe my ic family.....been away for awhile to sort my head out after yet another crop got robbed!

yep you heard right my second crop in a year to get busted! lucky enuf i wasnt their at the time so im still around to grow another day!

which iv done with a bang! heres a few pics of my latest set-up, 120 plants under 8 lights, split into 4 sections with 30 in each section on custom made tables with 11ltr square pots filled with coco coir and dripp feed.
1 400 mh and 1 600 hps in each section.
extraction is 10inc fan and filter, all the fan and ducting have been boxed in wood to deaden the noise.

im on a perpetual harvest, choping one section every 2 weeks.

strains im growing are

g-bud,
trainwreck x lovepostion
sour diesel
c99 3 phenos
ukcheese
bubblegumxcheese
willie nelson x 3 phenos
kalishnapple
pursang
w widdow
spacequeen


anyways few pics of the g-bud

 

[mr cheese]

couple of pics of the mother room and where i hang my ballast, i havent finnished seting up the room, still bit work to do but im geting their.

here u can see my bubblecheese and ukcheese mom and the smaler ones are spacequeen, pursang and ukcheese im mothering up, the little uns are my next run of organic bubblecheese.

the 2 pics of the fan are befor the room was finnished, but u get the idea, i fort the where iv put the carbon filter was a strock of genius, hahaha does look good tho...

forgot to add im also growing blue skunk, a cross of skunk1 pre 89 seed stock x blue bonnet...the cross was done my pistils at dawn.

one couple pics you can see my power board, again not finnished,lol still need to add 4 more outlets but the power is hooked up.
instead of running off the existing fuse board like most peeps do and over load it iv built a dedicated power board running straite from the mains so i can draw as much amps as i want basicaly.
