600 watt STEALTH vertical NFT grow closet!

[frenzybud]

Hello all!

I just wanted to show off my last experimental grow setup, It's my first time trying vertical growing. First off a little data:
The closet is build in, it's 85x85 cm.
I have a 600 watt HPS bulb mounted in a 125mm cooltube, I've got a 125 mm exhaust fan, silencer and Carbon filter mounted in the attic in rubber mountings, so the system is absolutely quiet when running, even the 600 watt ballast is suspended in the attic for minumum noise polution, also the 650 L/h pump for the NFT system is very quiet. When the closet doors are closed there is no noise at all.
Recently I bought a Hanna PH/EC/temp monitoring device, I'm very pleased with the unit. Nutrients is Advanced Hydroponics 3 part series.
The temperature in the closet is kept at 28 C (lights on), 20-22 C (lights off) and about 40% RH using a climate controller.

I vegged these 36 clones for 5 days before going to 12/12, they are almost out of control, but I topped them and bend them to get them under control, next run they will definetely go straight to 12/12.
Here is a couple of pics:



I am very pleased with the grow so far, feel free to comment.

Peace!


EDIT: The budding plants in the pictures are at day 40 in flower.

Nice!!! Have you harvested yet?

That's a really cool setup. Kind of like mine, I'm doing a sort of nutrient waterfall thing in a similarly-sized shed.

Nope, I will harvest in about two weeks, maybe a little more.. The strain is Skunk no. 1

Hey frenzybud,

Nice looking setup, neat and clean! Can't say I've seen a setup quite like yours, would love to see some harvest shots and yield info! It will be interesting to see how you dial it in to it's max potential!

love it what a great little closet..

I will keep you posted when harvest time comes.. As I mentioned, this is an experiment.. Next run I will have some tweeks for the system.. I'm also exited to see what the yield will be...

this is a favorite closet grow me. love it! I ran a 1k aircooled in a 2'x2' closet once that did pretty damn well for itself.

damnnn its looking REAL tight in there man. Are all 36 clones still in there or did you remove any? Mad props, I'm dying to see a yield off this one cheers

I ended up only having 28 good clones.. That's why i vegged them for a few days before going to 12/12.

I have 45 nice clones in my aerocloner right now, also Skunk No. 1, so next run will be with 36 healthy plants and straight to 12/12. It will be even better next time. But this first run will probably give me an idea about what the system is capable of.

Harvest will be in 2 weeks from today tops!

tagged this, looks like a kick ass cabinet.. interested to see what you get out of it in the end.

thats insane

were the temps manageable, what were they at?

Wow, awesome design! Gonna keep my eye on this one
