Im one of them. Only mine is going to look like a water park Truly inspirational & very much better than the commercial verts I've looked at. I hope all goes accordingly. I bet there's a few of us here just itching to give your system a try...

purplekitty7772008, DaveTheNewbie, smartsoverambition, josh4321, 2 Can, greenearth5, SpruceZeus, greenearth5, natmoon, usualsuspect and headbandrocker, great to have you all onboard for the show and thanks for all your kind comments.
wurzel75, The reflective material is insulation you put behind radiators to reflect heat, it comes on a roll and I stick it on with spray adhesive. The strain I am using only takes 7 weeks to flower. If you want maximum yield for your area I would suggest a sea of green using spacings between plants at a maximum of 12inch spacing.
merahoon, at about 3 weeks into flower I usually trim the bottom third of the plants which helps form better buds higher up the plant. In any case you should remove any weak growth.
loki will kill you, lucky you, the seeds werent created by me were they?
Originally the Viking was from the first Amsterdam seed bank called "positronic" which was owned by Wernard Bruining who was also the owner of the first coffee shop called "mellow yellow". unfortunately the Positronic seed bank closed down years ago (which is a story in itself) Wernard was and still is one of the top breeders. I collected the seeds in person from the seed bank years ago and have kept her ever since. She is a genuine 7 week strain with a high yield and old school smoke she used to be the no1 commercial strain in Holland.
A couple of years ago I created some S1's (which you might have) which were almost identical to the mother plant which shows how stable the genetics are. Some growers received them as freebies and all the grow reports were good, I hope some time in the future to create some more F1 or even recreate the strain as I still have a full packet of original seeds in the freezer.
SocalsFinestMMJ, I can get into the vert where one level drops to the next level. When the system is empty there is loads of room inside as the plants get bigger I will struggle but by then I shouldnt need to get in.
MEANGREEN69, Its approx 5 foot tall, and they have been in flower for a week.
Ok here we are at week 1 of 12/12 and i have just taken 100+ cuttings off the plants in the vert ready for the next round. sorry for the poor quality pics I used a borrowed camera.

im sitting in for the ride. looks great
nice one heath.
i was thinking about a system with ten plants surrounding a metal cage,with a internal diamater of 1metre(my grow space is 1.2m2 not 1m2) and drop my 600 vertically in the middle with the fan underneath like your other grow. and veg for 2 weeks training the plant through the cage. will this work similar to you mini vert grow,i dont really wont to do more than ten, proberly a caution or fine if i get caught,or do you think i should do them the normal way with the light and reflecter and just space them out underneath.which one would give the bigger yield?...cheers

i would do like 6 plants surrounding the cage, more than that may be pushing it and they will be fighting for the light.ive seen some very impressive vertical grows uing 2 bulbs, one over the other and dropped down in the middle of the plants. i would say best suited for sativas due to the height of them, but will work for indicas as well.

Really great stuff. I'm along for the ride. Nothing looks better than a perfectly clean reflective grow room. (Except when it's full of buds)
