Vert Scrog Flooded Tube Banana OG, Dog Kush 1000w

[jigfresh]

I need to show you guys the second pot. So I made the second one skinnier and it turned out just the right size. It hold pretty much right at 5 gallons. I liked it so much I redid the first pot. It was simple, just made new edges. Hard to explain, but was easy. So now I have two tall skinny pots.

Before


After (notice they are almost the same height


Here's the club 600 patch. Didn't show up very well. Not the best stitching choice, but I am happy with how my work turned out. Not bad for nothing to trace.


And here are the clones. Sour D on top, Chernobyl on bottom. Part of me wants to just sew a couple more pots and run all soil.

 

[whodatnation]

Are you going to scrog out that bottom level?
Those pots are really sweet

 

[whodatnation]

Against your wall I would see as a problem. The pots do get moist and the sheet rock will soak that up if touching. Slap a grocery bag barrier between the wall or something.

What chacka said!

hey dude just a few questions. did u sew the pots by hand or machine? and is it possible to insert some plastic in between the res and the pots. this might help as it res has a lip and it might stop the pots touching the condensation. some1 please pick me up if I'm incorrect

 

[jigfresh]

great minds LGP. Was thinking of using some plastic sheeting between the pots and the other stuff. It's not as bad now that they are both skinny. Before watering them (not sure if they'll change shape at all) nothing touches anything else (walls, pots, rez), so let's hope it stays that way.

I did all the sewing with a machine. I used outdoor/ heavy duty thread. It's almost like plastic (or probably is thread). Mantiszn brought up dyes, so I check if the felt will bleed in water and it does not, thanksfully. Thanks for the thought Mantis. Oh, and it's real nice, when I put some in water, it's basically water resistant lol. Not sure the right term, but it doesn't stay wet at all, just lets the water go through it. Anyhow, it all seems to hold up alright so far.

@whodat. Thanks bro. I was happy with how they turned out. I am pretty sure I'm going to scrog things out kinda like your wrap around scrog, think you ran the ?p in that. That way I can use the 'flat' and the walls. Am toying with the idea of pulling the top level of pipe out for more room for buds. ?

Might be worthwile putting trays or something underneath them Jig. Perhaps you are already going to do that....

 

[genuity]

how long do you plan to veg in them tall pots?

 

[Bobotrank]

Felt pots ftw! Sick Jig, can't wait to see how this goes.... I agree with what LGP and Chaka said about the plastic in between pots and walls/ pots and res... but no use in repeating. Just my 2 cents. Lookin' good fella!

 

[jigfresh]

I figured I'd put something beneath them, just hadn't figured what yet.

I have absolutely no idea how long I'll veg. How long should I veg? And where should I put the hydro plants. lol... this is all seeming unnecesarily complicated doing hydro and soil. My reason for not going all soil is in case I don't yeild much... but I won't do that will I? Hmmmm. I got some thinking to do.

Mostly I'm worried about space in the closet with the big soil plants, vegging for a while. Maybe just 4 soil plants and that's it?

Thanks for checking things out everyone!

 

[Bobotrank]

4 plants, but veg them for awhile... maybe even some topping... that Sour D is gonna stretch like a motha tho... keeping her outta trouble will keep you busy. I grew Sour D from clone once and couldn't believe how much she stretched for me... solid 3x for the pheno I had.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

no way you'll have a shabby yield with a 1k in a cupboard man lol it won't be up to hydro weight but it won't be that far off surely.

Did you ever pinpoint the problem with ur clones? My sour strain (six years off first clone) does the same thing just stuck on pause. Thought it might be root problem but I dissected one and saw nothing visible. For years now I have just veged until I got sick of lookin at em. What I noticed we have in common is lengthwise folding/creasing on outer edges of fan leaves near end of flower. I haven't been able to fig that one out either. I don't know if its related or not had a pretty good read looking for those answers though thanks.

 

[falonvanderwall]

Is it possible that someone used a product such as megabud in the res and not rinsed it out properly, ive done it a few times and they wont grow at all after

 

[jigfresh]

I have flashbacks to my original soil fail. Less than a quarter off two plants. They looked pretty much like this picture at harvest, no buds to speak of at all... and the smoke sucked. Was just trash.

This was when I was new (3.5 years ago). I can't do that bad lol

I never did figure it out no. The strange thing about it was the guy I got the clones from was having the same problem, so I'm guessing it was from his set-up? I mean, they came from the same mothers that gave both of us real good, fast rooting clones in the past, so maybe it was a product like you suggested falon.

I'm just real glad my new clones do not seem to have the same problem. Won't speak too soon though.

imo...with all that medium,id let them veg for 4 weeks min(with lots of root attention)(as bobo has said)topping/lst'ing/ect
you deffo want a full root system in that medium,befor flower time.

if it was four of them lil purp pots,it would fill with roots faster,and stay a lil shorter

+++if all that medium is not full with roots,imo..it will add to the stretch a lot.


but im sure you will get it down with no hitches.

 

[jigfresh]

I made another two pots, each with two pieces of felt and two stiches. I couldn't turn the corner to do it in one stitch. I need some more top soil and it snowed this morning, so I will wait for tomorrow to get it. Then I'll get to transplanting things and get this grow started proper. I guess I'll do 2 sour D, 2 chernobyl. Any more plants and that long a veg would be too much.

Thanks for the input.

 

[Bobotrank]

I'm excited for this to start. I like seeing people change growing methods, mediums, etc. I think it is a good way to test how well we listen to our plants.... and I think you're going to kill it. That's my prediction, at least. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

So do you transplant right before flower? or do you transplant way before and let roots grow in. Personally i tp on the day i put them in.

 

[jigfresh]

I'm glad you are excited too bro. I was just standing here thinking about how different it's going to be. No waterfall anymore, going to miss that sound actually. So yeah, not sure if I was clear before, but I'm going to do this soil thing all the way and take the tubes down. Don't worry, they won't go far in case i want to go back. Wife even suggested i run a bucket, next to the fabric pots, just because I know that would work... but I think that would be too much. One thing at a time.

In baby news, yesterday was the day in the cycle we lost our second one. So wife was really glad to get past that. Next hurdle is getting past 13 weeks which is the first trimester. Then it will be a little unnerving to reach 21 weeks when we lost our first. After 21 we are gunning for 32. Wife wants to aim for 35, but I'm not that greedy. At 32 weeks the baby has a really good chance of being fine with no lasting effects. We just passed 8 weeks yesterday.

EDIT: about your post T. I was going to put the little 1inch cubes with the clones right in the big pots in a day or two. Is that ok?

And about watering them. I was thinking like 1/2 a liter of water for each plant just to get things a little wet. Does that sound good?
