Haze Harvest - a few pounds of 1200w vertical weed

I know what you mean, my co2 goes off roughly 30 minutes before lights out, and if you watch the meter, it drops to less then 600 by the time lights are out, and then it continues to go down for another 15-20 minutes depending on the size of plants. I would agree with you on ventalation but this is my first troubled grow mainly because it was vertical. I've had great success in the same exact set up otherwise,( amount of lights, dehumidifier, ac. Etc.)
im almost 100% sure it was due to distance, although I did have a fan under the light, the buds were still only 4-5 inches away, I think that was my downfall.

Now is this the new strain NH21 x MM



not rude at all, was pointing out to previous poster that imo most trimming is for sales purposes at the expense of quality- the less handling the better. I'm on my second vert run - 600w dtw coco using home made drain system, always curious about how other ppl are doing things. I automated watering for the fist time this run and had a few issues lol. overwatering, timer malfunction drain issues... my plants are looking alot rougher than normal but think will still out preform any horizontal run I've done so far. we'll see tho :bigjoint:. heres a pic- odessy and unknown og clone both lookin kinda sad:oView attachment 2729249 date is wrong on camera

Here's the last of it. Took a long time to dry this bud out, as it's been very cold and humid lately. Yield from this last plant was 300 grams, taking the total to 1457 grams, or 52oz. And there's my few pounds of 1200w vertical weed. It might not win any beauty contests, but it gets you fucking high.

Sativas are from equitorial regions but more mountainous regions at higher elevations where its cold. Indica are from high heat desert areas like the middle east former regions of Hindu kush. The place not the strain. Indica do much better in warmer climates than sativas. indica leaves are dark green and more broad to.shade the plant from heat and don't really get light bleached. Where sativas can get bleached very easily. Skinny fingers on the leave don't shade very much.

87f is around 30c. Unless your using co2 Thats too hot.my veggie garden outside does not like that temp either. They do best in the mid to low 70's.

It my indoor gets hotter than 75f they get light bleached. That destroys chlorophyll. In the 80's f buds gets soft and airy. As if the soil was bone dry. With out door if its too hot I move them into the shade.
If im not mistaken it can hit 50c in the middle east where indicas are from, so you're logic makes no sense? my temps have been 30 c many a times and my plants still grow, maybe stunted but they do not "stop" growing as you stated. :)

that is quite funny, wont light bleaching be caused by the lights actually bleaching the plants, i mean thats why its called light bleaching and not heat bleaching. you are starting to sound like another bmeat....

fantastic man, you beat the 1g per watt, that is quite an accomplishment, hhhmm very skilled grower indeed

Thanks. It probably wasn't the best grow to demonstrate the potential of vertical growing, but it's fairly typical of what I do. The staggered harvest wasn't planned like that - I didn't expect that last plant to keep flowering as long as it did - but half the grow was from seed, so it's hard to know what to expect.

I guess it will be time to start a new grow log soon . . .

Looks like it could be lack of humidity. Being close to the lights and fan can lead to excessive evaporation - it sometimes happens to some of my strains at different (dry) times of year, but isn't a huge problem. Coco and hydro set-ups tend to provide extra humidity, but if you're growing in soil and letting it dry out, there would be less moisture in the pots in comparison. Your friend could try misting or watering a little more often (but not too much), which should help restore some moisture to the leaves.
What is the best time for misting? On lights on or off? (Guess it can't be in the middle cause then you get mold?) Would you recommend misting buds more than 7-8 weeks old?

you think a 600 is enough to do a 4x4x7h? great thread and nice yeild! you just set the bar for me...:joint:
Yep. No reason why you can't start off with a single 600 and take it from there - you'll still get good yields

I salute to you.
Thanks :D

Hello PC, where can one find the breeder for the stinky cat piss haze your growing at? Not sure if I seen you mention it.
Paradise Seeds. My Catpiss Haze was from some old test seeds that Luc gave me to try out. The closest strain to mine is his Atomical Haze: http://paradise-seeds.com/en/atomical-haze.html

I'd be careful misting denser buds if you are worried about mould, but lights-on would be best. Some people say that if you mist while the lights are on you can burn your plants, because all the water droplets act like little magnifying glasses, but that's just a myth. I mist my seedlings all the time during lights-on.

Would this be worth doing with 12 two gallon coco hempys around two 400w hps/mh in a 5x3 tent and only a short 2 week veg in DWC from clone... would the plants be tall enough or just better off with horizontal lamps? Also do you need to buy vertical lamps or can you just hang a standard hps vertical? Any benefit to using bare bulb vs cool tube?

Thanks.

To clarify that would be 2 donuts with 2 lights to fill out my rectangular space... not both lights inline like your setup. 6 plants per light although I could fit up to 13 if I want.

I just took my batwing horizontal reflector apart so bulb was hung vertically without reflector an had no issues with bulb in last 10 weeks.

Some lamps need to be orientated either vertically or horizontally, but most are universal these days - always best to check the box or manufacturer's site before you do.

Having said that, most HPS lamps can be mounted either way, in my exerience, so it tends to be MH lamps that are more likely to need correct orientation.

I don't know how much your strain stretches, but 2 weeks of DWC should be more than enough to flower under a 400w vertical lamp. Give it a go!
