600 watt bulb, vegged for 10 days to get clones. the plants stretched but only the top row is not getting enough light.gr8 grow on this vert what watt is the bulb
and the plants looks like they needed longer vegg time in the vert but other then that looks yum
do you have a grow journal for this grow
i may be dismantling it after this grow to make way for another idea.

well, where do i start.Do tell
i have the bits and pieces to build heaths mini vertical, and i had the coco bag vertical idea that i posted on here but what i really want is to have a vertical system that uses no medium at all.
that leaves me with nft or aeroponics, i had this idea to build something like this:
i dont know what to use to make them out of but was thinking of polycarbonate sheets and use fish tank sealant to glue them together at the seams to water tighten them.
it is kind of based on the grow wall. i just want to be able to move them around on the wheels.
i also was thinking that it would be great if i could get an aeroponic sprinkler system in there instead of drip feeding. that way, i would have no medium to get rid of.
oh and i would be using 8 or 9 walls around one 600 watt light, even though i have have space to use more lights.
any thoughts of how to move forward on this would be appreciated.

please thatshit, i am only using that picture as a guide to what i would like to achieve, it is made out of moulded plastic and is fucking way expensive so we dont want to even think about it.is this a hand watering system looks DIY able maybe out of wood or some thing
i want to make a flat faced plastic wall but would space it around the light like on the photo here.
i want my plants to hang out of a true vertical wall like the design i drew and hopefully not rockwool as it is a pain to get rid of.
the reason for making a plastic wall like i drew is that it gives me the option of putting aeroponic sprayers in there to feed the roots and get rid of medium all together. or i could use hydroton on drip feed and clean the medium after the grow, i really dont want to do that if you know where im coming from.

"300 gpw ez" ????----that would be close to 167 pounds---lol.
Health--nice journel and great water rollercoaster. Glad to here you hit the 2.18 GPW mark with the first run. My question is about the 600 MH---Now that you have run reg 600 HPS's and the new 600mh's what's the differences?

the totes would have to be made water tight with the lids
but this is what i was thinking about while at work on how a sturdy cheap diy vert system could be made
with sprayer and water pump and a wooden stand on wheels useing a storage tote to hold the plants 6-9 each the shaded pipe is the drain return and this is to be made medium free

just wanted to update my vert closet progress. basically, it is wildly succesful.
Im using 600w HPS in a small IKEA closet with one 450 CFM vortex fan venting both the cooltube and the cab. Temps arround 28C +/-3 degrees, water temps at 70 +/-3.
Im at day 14 of 12/12 here, and i'm growing Kish, a quick flowering strain. I only had about 25 clones for this run, but the closet holds 44 plants, 11 per level. I've got 25 in there, and two soil plants in the bottom that i threw in just to fill space.
What do you think?

I love kish or shiskaberry but I can't find any seeds of it that will ship to the US. If know where to some that ship to the US please let me know. You room already looks too full... How long did you veg for? I think with that setup you could almost go zero veg time with clones and still pack it full by the end.

yeah next time i will trim i think. i had two weeks of veg. it is VERY overgrown in there, but i wanted to see what would happen with no pruning/lsting or anything. Next run i'll probably aim for a lot fewer branches, trimming them as they come out and pinching to discourage stretch.

i would like some opinionsDo tell
on what i have in mind.
i think that im going to put 12 plants arranged around a 600watt bulb like this
i will angle the corner pots like this
i will grow them to be about 1m tall with 14 days veg and 14 days flower, they wont stretch after that. i will also train them in and around a cylindrical wire mesh that will be placed around the sweet spot of the light.
hand watered. im doing this within the next couple of days.
wot do you guys think??

seems like a good idea but you will have to watch out for the plants getting wide as it might block out the ones in the corners you could grow them below the light maby lol just grow em sideways on the floor and then all the branches would be like mini colas
just a thought im in a thoughting mood ol moving home soon so get to design me a new setup i am inspired by all this mcguyver drainpipe system it is ace think i mite steal the idea and put it in one of em grow tents my dad realy wants to buy one the guy at the shop is gona sell an ex display xl to us for £90 recon thst would be wide enough to do a vertical grow like this the tent is 120cm by 120cm and a hight of 2 meters

no it wont fit inside the tent.
i have the same size tent in my room and the tank is situated outside of the tent, i have to run the nutrient outake pipe outside of the tent and i have to run the pump pipes into the tent.
i made the flooded tube system to fit inside a 1.2m tent but i knew that i would have issues with the intake and outake pipes.
i had other plants in the same room vegging for a longer period and needed the tent to make a dark room for the vert.
i just zipped it up as far as i could and then used big towels to cover the gap left in the tent, i made a small hole in the towels and threaded some wire through then put the wire through the zipper to hold it in place and drooped/placed them enough to cover the void...MAGIC.
and for my next trick!!

how do you like this setup idea
i'm thinking its a sprayer and drain system with no flood- its drains into the rez fast- no need for a clone room you can go from mother to flower room saving time- the sprayers run 24/7 -each tote is set in a wooden frame shaped like a (#) made of 2 by 2 with maybe a crose bar to keep the tote from fallen out of the # frame. the drawing is missing the frame part
the totes would have to be made water tight with the lids
but this is what i was thinking about while at work on how a sturdy cheap diy vert system could be made
with sprayer and water pump and a wooden stand on wheels useing a storage tote to hold the plants 6-9 each the shaded pipe is the drain return and this is to be made medium free
24 to 36 plants per wall
my guess is 1 wall would cost less then 60$ usd to build

it seems quite complicated and has too many plant sites for me, maybe 9 to 12 sites per wall.how do you like this setup idea

i like the aero part of it because you can do the whole grow from cutting to mature plant.
i can imagine the quite loud noise of dripping water coming from 8 of these walls in my room, i dont think it would be quiet enough to be stealth.
keep working on it, i like what youre thinking.

i know
could you think of how 4-6 wall would sound
and not trying to make it complicated
maybe the sprayer part i over did but i never worked with them before,
maybe i should'ev shaped them like a ( E ) instead of an (3)
