gettin too complicated for my likes LOL
I just stick with simple soil and DWCs.

Maybe one of these years I'll play with these other methods.

I wish I had the link so I could hook you up with it, but, I saw a gentlemen veg his plant out in a flat space to achieive a certain heighth. Once they reached that heighth, then set the bulb hanging vetically. After that, he simply just set his plant in a circle around the buble. Bada bing bada boom! lol. I don't think you would really have to change anything beside the piece that holds your light. But then again, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You obviously are already doing well in what your doing, so no need to figure out how to setup a vertical unless you like to experiment. Anyhow, keep up the good work man.

Good, I added a small intake fan for the veg chamber. The T5 puts out a bit of heat and I thought it was prudent.

Also I lowered the T5 a bit too so now it sits just above the mothers.


The Clones in Flower are starting to mature a bit. Hairs on some are starting to turn.


Here is a random Individual on Day 47

Flowering day 57:


With still a week to go the hempy SOG clones are starting to ripen.








In a couple days I will stop feeding them nutes and go with PH'ed water only for the last week.

Trichs are looking mostly clear with some cloudy.

Sorry if you mentioned this before, but what strain is the one pushing out the beautiful puple colors?

Its a Purple Phenotype within my seed stock. The plants iam growing all came from seed I made. Bagseed hybrids from my saved seeds.
Waiting is the hard part!!! lol

how goes it?
Chopping tomorrow, its day 65. A few of the tops got bud rot / mold - I did not spray this rotation with Greencure. And I guess the stuff does work because I got some mold this time...

I have one oscillating fan in my 4 x 4 flower area. It helps the hempy's breathe. And the fan keeps the top of the hempy dry so algae wont grow.

Humidity is the likely culprit of the budmold.

Iam not worried about it, I cut away the bad stuff and move on.

This next rotation I will use my prevention spray. Its fair to say will be using the spray as a crutch because I dont want to buy a dehumidifier or up my ventilation.


Besides that... Ive upped the ante.

6 rows of 6 two liter hempys !


I have bit of room in the grow chamber to expand by adding 11 more hempys to the flowering rotation, this will fill out about a 3.5 x 3.5 with some space between each clone.


My idea is to switch to some different genetics I have growing (mothers) and flower some of the old mothers.

The new genetics iam switching to is something I grew outside but its doing much better inside. It grows more vigorously then the plants I have from seed I made.

So instead of using 25 in about a 3 x 3 space I plan on running 36 in 3.5 x 3.5 and raising my light a bit.

I have been keeping the light very close to the tops, nearly 7-8 inches. Ive noticed that some leafs under the bright spots look "over worked". And at the edge of the light they looked healthy. So raising the light should be a good for the plants, as well as giving me a larger footprint.


Right now the new genetics ive labeled "A" are taller then my seed stock clones.

13-14 inches for "A" and 7-8 inches tall for my seed SOG clones. These were cloned at the same time.

All these clones have been moved to Veg under my 400 Watt HPS.

5 mothers of "A" are under my T5's along with 2 bagseed hempy for later testing.


What I would like to do is not keep any mothers at all. And with these very vigorously growing new clones I think I can do it. The ones in veg have some nice branches. I plan on taking 40 cuttings of "A" and putting them in my bubble cloner.

I will do this near Day one of flower. So they can sit in the cloner for 3-4 weeks and then get 5-6 weeks of veg time under my T5's.

That should give me at least a 12 inch clone for flowering that has some lower branches for cloning.



Adding 11 hempies and new genetics should be a nice boost to my yield.

I have one mother of "A" and its double in size to my seed stock mothers.


This next flower rotation is a mix of my seed SOG clones a few mothers and some "A" clones.

But after that I predict things will get interesting.

Here is that purple Phenotype at harvest:








And some root porn I took while saving the perlite ;p

Here is a side by side comparison of my "A" genetics vs my seed stock genes.

These clones were taken as cuttings on the same day and grew in the same area, but clearly the one on the left is much bigger.





I have been getting 9-10 grams per clone flowering my seed stock genetics, but with "A" I should be able to get 12-13 grams easy.

With the addition of 11 more hempy's (36 total), that will yield me about a Pound at harvest.

40 fresh cuttings from the mothers labeled "A"

They are getting 5-6 hours of dark then I will put on a timer for 18/6 lighting under my T5's




This is one of the "A" mothers after taking cuttings.
5 are in the veg area with the clones but hopefully I wont need them.





And this is my flower room that I just switched to 12/12

It has 36 hempy two liters, 6 rows of 6

5 of them are old mothers of my seed. And one is a large old mother of "A"



day 1 flower:

9 ounces after losing a few headbuds to budrot.

So a bit more then the 1st run, overall I think the 2nd run was good but under fed.
