My new vert Setup

D

Everything still going good. Interesting things I have noticed is the girls fed GH drink less and have springtails in the runoff. while my custom blend is semi organic and has no springtails. hich I think is telling me the organic addatives are breaking down decayed matter so nothing for the springtails to eat.




Now what should I do with my c-99? There is a ton of fan leaves and I feel there are not as many bud sites as there should be.

I put guide rollers in the center
Should I trim some fan leaves on the C99?


Are these lil bastards in my runoff springtails? they are jumping all around in the water my room has a filter on the intake so I dunno how the hell they got in there.

hey donk, do you have any thoughts on how your are going to veg for the next round? seems like if you topped once for 2 shoots and vegged horizontally it might fill your screens nicely in bloom.

everything is looking good. plants are really progressing niceley. keep up the good work man!

Yeah I must admit i do like to veg under horizontal lights for a couple of weeks at least. I think those are springtails yeah dunno what to do about them tho. If you feel the c99 needs a trim then go ahead and do it, I usually trim a few off during the stretch especially the older bigger ones. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

Yeah I looked at a bunch of pics online and there springtails so I am just gonna do a neem drench to keep there numbers down otherwise from what I read they do no harm.

I know for sure I only want one main shoot. When I switched my girls from horizontal to vert they wanted to bush out a lot and there vert growth was way slow. Since I have a bunch new strains o try I am probable gonna run 8 girls and prune the tips off the lower shoots to get em tall then when I switch to vert vegging prune the top so they start bushing out.

This pheno I am running was my higher yielding C99. I tossed the mom so this phenos last run. The C99 momma I kept yields less but is more potent and is like smokeing and cup of fruit loops flavored coffee. My wife loves the pheno I kept she says the one I am running has less of a kick and gives her the munchies.

very cool set up so 24 0z on a 600?
this vertical lite set up is the lite fixed or does it swing with the fans ?
do you rotate the plants as well as the lazy susan and does it turn during the cycle or is it for you?

This i my 1st run. I am hoping to hit 3-4 oz per girl. Will not know for about 4 more weeks.

The light is hanging off a Eye Lag into a 2x4 I screwed on studds in the ceiling. Off the eye lag is just a piece of #12 solid wire. I have my fan on medium and does not blow hard enough to move the light.

You should not ever rotate the plants themselves. The lazy susan is not mechanized at all. Its so I can have access to all my plants from the door. If you water by hand or are using a scrog screen you must have access to your girls.

When I ran the stinkbud aero/nft I did not need access since watering is automated and u are not weaving the branches in and out of the screen. Nor did you have any trimming to do.

Scrog is more work but you end up with less popcorn and the trichomes ripen evenly cause of better light distribution.

ooops rooted a onion in my fridge




and the pic update day -38ish



I decide to be a strain whore and got a bunch of clones last month but my veg room was hella cold cause I was using T-5's to veg em with. Growth was horrible slow. So I should have already taken clones for my next run but most of my girls are only big enough to take one to 3.

Well monday I through my 400watt CMH back and they are looking wonderful I aircooled the hood but my temps were still 62low 70high so I took the ducting off the hood up too 68low 78high. much betta.

My list

uk cheese? (supposed to be but leaves look to broad)
blue cheese
bogglegum
sour d (ecsd)
tahoe og
skywalker og
p-91
green crack
jack the ripper
c-99 (i selected from seed)
jock horror (i selected from seed)
casey jones(tom hill cut)
blockhead x some sativa (i select from seed)


I traded my 1000 watter so now have to try and figure out a new setup for 2 600's vert.

undecided on 2 or 3 rows of 6 or 8 girls per row.
I have 5'9"s of height to work with.

My flower times are gonna be all out of wack cause I cannot get enough cuts. to run only 2 or 3 strains

So I am thinking-ecsd,tahoe og, skywalker og, p-91 and casey jones should all be pretty close flower time wise but since I have not grown em not to sure on the stretch.

decisions, decisions are such a bitch

I also have c-99 pollen that I need to use before it goes bad the blue cheese and bogglegum sound like excellent canadates to be doing some chucking at.

Oh Damn my 2 C-99 girls came down last night. Day 49 before the chop



I flushed all my girls day 45 with 3 gallons ofs clearex water each. Then I have been watering with PH5.8 water since. I should have started the cindys day 42 but I forgot.

I dropped and broke my 30x magnifier a few weeks ago so I need to buy a new one and check the jock horrors. But going buy there looks I say a week to go. I did not check my c-99s but I like em clear/cloudy no amber at all.
