Ttystikk's vertical goodness

I really want to try plasma lighting, just dont have the cash to blow. I use to use CDM at the hydroshop I use to manage. Id get great growth the first 4 weeks then after four weeks it wouldnt do shit.

At home I use HPS start finish, and a single 8 year old 24" T5 for clones and germination. But I have to admit the buds flowered under the MH are way more frosty..

Hey tty do use individual RDWC or are you using a controller? And what size uniseals or pvc? And have you had and issues with the pipes clogging?

I saw some dude using a recycling shallow water cultivation areoponic hybrid system.. he was using 32 gallon trash cans with misters in them.. pretty sick system he had, but seemed like to much room for a error for me.. but is was purty cool.. I would have just filled the 32 gal trash cans with soil it probably would have been better...

Good eyes, my strains are aging. The Dirty White Boy was a terrible disappointment- especially after one showed itself a true hermaphrodite- IN my growroom! Fuckin' things, I yanked 'em all after that.

After that disaster, I'm a lot less enthusiastic about throwing new strains straight into my grow- but clearly I need new vigorous gear, too.

I'm looking for something that gets tall and lanky so I can slap it against the netting and drop the light down next to it!

This next run I'm definitely vegging horizontally. I hope to incorporate something like you ttystikk, where each stage of growth has a specific area and purpose. Perpetual reality here we come!

We're trying a new approach to mounting the plants on the trellis. Up 'til now, I've always placed the plant against the outside and fished the budding tips through. This time we are mounting the entire plant on the inside and pinning it place.

We can report that it's one whole hell of a lot easier to put the plants into place, and that they don't seem to stall for a few days while they adjust- because this way there doesn't seem to be much they need to adjust to. So far they are growing like mad, with no apparent pause at all.

I'm glad you've converted, makes more sense this way IMO

I had my reasons, but the plants always get the last word.

Did you make the trellis' a bit larger to account for the plants being closer to the light or do you figure it won't make a difference because you were pulling the growing tips through anyways?

I havent had time to go through it all but i do like what i see. Im going to be going vert once i set back up. It just makes sence to get more buds+canopy from the same bulb.

In the 1st few pages you said you run 1 plant per trellis, in that pic above it seems some things have changed with the amount of plants/trellis and bulbs.

Do you have any more pics of the grow itself?
how long does it take to veg them that tall?

all info will help really, as if i was to replicate it
