Ok cool I will be back from now on...Everything is looking very nice tiger, the vertical light technique has really interested me for a while now how is it working for you compared to usual horizontal?? That revegged plant is awesome I have a purple urkle that is soo bomb that I have been revegging for two months now! Two months! What a slow vegger, an even slower revegger! hahaha plus she is in my garage so it's kinda cold, I plan on bringing her inside soon hopefully she's still kicking......Good work though, your new crop is coming along great! PEACE BRO

Hey all! Sorry I been out for a bit, was all tangled up in the holidays, and got a touch of food poisoning.

I'll get you all an update soon. Freakin' veg room looks like a jungle, flower room had a ph issue relapse, and looks it. Got it under control now though.

NT,glad to see that it wasn't the grain alcohol/cannabis combo that took you off the forum. I,too,played the food poisoning game over Christmas. Unfortunately, I think it was my own cooking that did it.
 
Perfect GROW and room setup!

You mind letting us know where you got those PD hybrids from? I looked at almost every post but couldn't find out. PLEASE!!!

Maj - Yeah, I managed to survive :D Should have those pics sometime today or tonight

Pops - That Green Dragon is what got me through in one piece :biglaugh: My food poisoning came from an uncle that apparently doesn't know how to get a prime rib cooked all the way through.

tngreen - Awesome on the Godbud bro! Gotta give us a report on those ladies!

dc105 - You think it's building for you, imagine how I feel :D I mean, I got smoke, but it's one of those hermi bagseed plants - not the best in the world, y'know? The Budosia and monster B52 should be ready right around Valentines day.

Mischief - Glad to have you aboard bro! :wave: Those PD crosses came through Pops there, some testers of ones he's sending in to SB.

And to my bro out there lurking, enjoy that B52 clone, and get your ass registered so we can see that grow show!

Hey Cali, sorry I missed those questions before. It's too early to make a good comparison between the vert and horizontal lighting. I can tell you that the budsites do appear to be developing a bit more evenly.

I gotta say, as far as revegging, this FFB has blown me away. Revegged in just 3 weeks! :nono: Definitely glad I kept her - 7 weeks flower, 3 week reveg, not to mention heavy and pretty :D

I have been using verticals for the last 2 years. Growing is all about light capture. In order to use verticals effectively, you have to keep them below the tops of the plant and surround the light with green mass, so as not to lose too much of the light. That necessitates bush or tree style growing, which,in soil, demands a bit larger pots. Bigger pots=more soil. More soil=more work. More work=tired old man with too much arthritis.

I am considering changing to hydro,SOG with horizontals and elevated tables so I don't have to bend down so much. The bending down doesn't bother me so much, it is the getting back up that is a bitch. Unfortunately, if I make the switch, my plant count is going to skyrocket. The Feds just love high plant counts. Those 100 6" high plants are now worth $650,000 .

Pops- Yeah, the Feds love those high plant numbers, they'll snatch up a prosecution in a heartbeat when the see those numbers get above 500.

Here's the update guys, sorry I'm late, had a friend stop by last night.

While the flower room had a relapse of PH problems, there were no such problems in the veg room. Ever notice that when things get dialed in, the plants really let you know? :joint:





Now, over in the flower room, things are still a bit stunted from the PH issues. They're recovering quickly though. I've included a pic of the damage. Just to give you an idea of the speed of recovery, the leaf is, as of today, 100% green. Except for the necrosis spots, of course. See the green in the veins? That wasn't there before I got them back into line, just solid curly yellow :biglaugh:





Obviously, I need to get those PD crosses into flower ASAP. Thing is, I've got no room for all of them. I may have to kill off 3 of them to have the room I'll need for them to flower out. I'm torn. I do not want to add on and flip the 1kw - I have no use for a second flower room besides these plants. And if I've got it, I'll end up using it :biglaugh: Gotta figure this one out - Killing healthy girls is almost a sin, but the room I need for them just isn't available. Unless I cram them in again, and that's going to result in some of the girls being cheated out of their full potential. :chin:

'Til Next Time :wave:

Those will be some big yielders from the veg room! Especially when they stretch! Which plants do you have in flower? That's a big bushy one on the right!

You can always put some of the girls under CFLs to slow the growth and get tighter nodes. The VBS x PD will stretch like hell under HPS.

The big girl in the Flower pod is a B52, the other two are your Budosia girls dc:joint:

Yeah Pops, I thought about that, thing is, I still don't have the space. I'd have to do up an area for 'em, and if I do that, I may as well go all out.

Had a talk with Mrs. Nite last night, she seems willing to let me expand, so maybe I'll just bite the bullet.
