    I did it .......... my waaaaay!!!

    Cheers matey and thanx for takin the time, those rotators look the bollox but weight will be an issue. Total weight of a just fed mature flowering plant will probably smash the 35lb weight limit.

    Pro's of vertical Increased light foot print / surface area Increased efficasy of light More efficient use of space Increased yield tighter environment control (cool tubes) easier to feed Fukin sex on a stalk when ya sit and stare during late flower

    I did it .......... my waaaaay!!!

    I find that flowering time is not affected at all. My main bug bare is trying to get the vertical stretch I want. It's a catch 22 situation, put vert lights on and vertical growth almost stops or very slow at least. If you ya dont use vert light (horizontal light only) ya get vertical growth...

    DO I GET MORE YEILD IF I DON'T TOP??

    Don't top em for height reasons, I find that they only stretch about half again. Any upward stretch is switched to horizontal, chasing the vertical light which you control with nets or cages. I am considering topping next time round because I am finding that my top light (I have 3 stacked 600s)...

    DO I GET MORE YEILD IF I DON'T TOP??

    I tried that and failed, too much bending at flip time seems to knock the stuffing out of mine. Bud size and density was affected big time. I train as I go now, each plant is individually caged so I can gently train em, saves on the shock factor and works well for me.

    DO I GET MORE YEILD IF I DON'T TOP??

    This is true but folk tend to ignore the time element. Then again, if u got a seperate veg room ya can train all day long and not affect your flowering room.

    DO I GET MORE YEILD IF I DON'T TOP??

    Any form of training is a bitter sweet scinario. Training will increase green matter or efficacy of light etc but will cost you in increased overall grow time. Topping or fimming will increase tops and foliage but will reduce light quality to second level of buds. Took me a while to accept but...

    When do you switch to 12/12 in vertical setups?

    It depends on 2 things, your desired finishing height and what type of lighting you are using for veg. My strain (super lemon haze) would at least double its height during flowering stretch (first 2 weeks) using regular horizontal HPS. If you have already switched to horizontal lighting then u...

    WAX / OIL in vape pen (e-cig)

    I have been working on this for a while now so thought I would start a thread and see what's going on. IMHO this is the future for so many reasons and deserves some time and effort... 1. SMELL. vaped oil has a minor background smell which you need to be next to the toker pretty much to smell...

    I did it .......... my waaaaay!!!

    Hello all, it's been a while. Home life got a bit hectic for a while, zero spare time to get on here. Update... So I completed my new rig, 6 individually caged plants mounted on rotating drip trays. 3 x 600w cool tubed lights up the centre. New plants went in and away we went. Didn't notice...

    I did it .......... my waaaaay!!!

    Cheers matey, and thanx for chirping in. The wiring on the motor is now soldered and all the terminals are siliconed up, little to no risk there. Things are already looking better. The one plant with the motor is stood straight and leafage is looking normal where as the other plants that spend a...

    I did it .......... my waaaaay!!!

    I thought the automated rotation was going to be a proper ball ache, mainly around mounting the motor and transfering the torque / rotation to the plants. Turned out to be a breeze in the end. Decided rotating each pot individually was the way to go, far to complicated hooking all 6 pots upto 1...

    3" clones with buds, to flower or reveg? need help

    if you reveg you are looking at 4 weeks minimum to root and revert back to veg. If you do, nip of all flowers, the flowers will die, mould up and probably kill the plant if you dont. IMHO not worth the hassle, let it finish and start another in the mean time. FYI if you do revert back to veg...

    Help me devise a 12 plant perpetual vert grow

    Listen grumpy arse, you have backed yourself into a corner and trying to dig yourself out. Of course you can't put a square peg in a round hole and u can't polish a turd ( actually you can polish a turd) but botanical science says exactly what I said earlier, bigger plants = more fruit. You...
