How many plants was that with?

Any advice you can give me - or anything you would have done differently if you ran it again?

I have been running a vertical grow for 6 years now I think. 2 x 600w in 8 inch cool tubes. A 10 inch filter and an 8 inch fan. Around 1.2 x 1.4m squared footprint cup board. The smaller the space the more need for cool tubes imo. Lots of people work with bare bulbs but I think you need a bit more width to go down that route. Normally. You have oscillating fans pointing up to the bare bud so you have a column of air flowng.over it anyway. Some people call cool tubes, fool tubes but there is definitely a need for them in a small vertical space. I grow with 5 large plants with around a month from clone to decent veg then flip. Yields depend greatly on the time you spend on the grow. Lots of training of plants required.
 
The big harvest was with 10 plants I think. It was the biggest I think because it was all one strain. All my other grows I ran between 2 and 6 strains. I did 2 big plants once in 2 separate DWC's one time. My first was 6 plants in one DWC. Later I went with flooded tubes using between 5 and 10 plants.

If I ran it again, I would probably go either with two lights stacked, or with a light mover, to get direct light to more of the height. I would have also flipped earlier. Every single grow I always thought why did I veg so long. I ended up needing to cut off so much plant as things progressed because it was so crowded.

I'm definitely going to rip off your setup, could I just run a 1000w cool tube and grow around it within a 1.2m x 1.2m space?

Is there a reason why you only decide to grow 5 plants? How much on average do you normally pull with these runs?

I was hoping for my next run with a fully optimised grow tent (adding co2 this time) to try and aim for around 2.5-3lbs. Using the very basic metal reflector + 400w hps with my (first) last run, I managed to get 1/2 lb with 3 plants scrogged in a 3x3.

I say a beautiful baby girl!

I'm hoping for a girl but I just want a healthy baby with no complications for my wife! Our 4 year old gave her a run for her money and she developed preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. We changed our eating habits for better after that. :mrgreen:

Wife seems to think we are going to have a boy since she is already dealing with morning sickness. :spew:

Onto weed business and after being out for the past couple weeks I finally broke down and got a quater of San Fernando Valley OG Kush for $25 (https://www.leafly.com/indica/sfv-og-kush) and I must say I feel tremendously better!! It gets hard to complete tasks after day 3 of not smoking and dealing with depression. Was able to get my Hydroguard today in the mail and gave bit to each of my 6 Skunks with hopes that they come back to life and yield!
