Hey everybody. I switched over to vert a little over a week ago, and just got some time to get some pics up. Sooooo.....here is a little view of room just before lights on.

Ok, so it is a 1200 watt stadium, and the foot print of the floor is approximately 6' x 46". There are three shelves on each side, at 3',2', and 1'. Not sure if these heights are going to stay, time will tell. You can see that the mogul socket is not a normal one, its like a replacement for a hood, so it is kind of long, and I could probably get the bulbs like 6 inches higher.

So basically, you can see there are a whole bunch of little clones in there, think about like 25 or so, and then four big mamas. I was supposed to give those plants away, didnt happen, so threw them in. I have been running SOG horizontally, so I guess I will see how each do. The big ones are much more sativa leaning on the structure side, so I think she is gonna do real good. Here are a couple shots of the finished product on the big ladies. Dont wanna name them, the breeder is not affiliated with ICMAG. The lineage is great white shark x jamaican lamsbread for anyone interested.

The other is also by the same breeder, cant list lineage cuz they are all there strains. Much more indica in structure, big single cola style. Those are all in 1 gallon bags. After this run I will be able to invest in smart pots, so for now just plastic ones. Inside the bags is resused coco, and they are being fed the REZIPE with some proteky, and roots excelurator. Going to try and add some Liquid K and PBP into the mix, as iI feel the taste is really lacking in the nugs using this nutrient formula. Also, i gotta like cut a strip of reflectix to fold over the pots to help with reflection.

The room has an 8" elicent exhausting it, with agreen mountain filter on it. I think the fan is like 700cfm or something around that. The filter is only rated to like 400 or something, but its all i got right now. I was running a sealed room, so I also have an 8000btu AC helping out in there. I originally was having a lil issue with heat, but I added a 6inch fan onto onto the intake, and it lowered temps DRASTICALLY. So much that I think i might throw a 400 watt CMH or something in there. Here are some shots of the ducting on the outside of the room, and also the AC box exhausting out into the chimney.

Ok, sooo yea thats it for now. Going to take a lot more shots of the room tomorrow. I took all these after not sleeping for two days, but I was in there so I figured I would grab them while I was at the spot. For good measure, I will throw in some shots of my veg tent i just made, with my moms, and my HOL testers, and also the clones going to go in next. Oh yea, forgot to say, this is gonna be a mixed grow always, and perpetual. I need to variety, and for now I am just honing my skills at growing before going any larger. I had went into a bigger op with an old business partner, but things did not Really work out. Anyways, here they are.

I think i am gonna switch the levels around. I think its too cold down there for the little guys. They always seem droopy, and only thing I can think of is cold root zone. Any ideas?

Whew. Ok thanks for checking this out, and let me know if anyone has any questions. And please, COMMENTS/CRITICISMS are greatly welcomed and asked for. There are other things I plan on doing, but I am stoned, and am kind of lazy atm. Keep it green people.

Oh man, and before I forget, big thanks to everyone on ICMAG that has helped, and humored me with answers to my questions and just posted shit online for me to read. BIG UPS TO: My main man MARLO, bobble, krunch, dhf, moonshine, megayields, blazeoneup(even though your gone homey),cravenmore,hundred gram oz, joe fresh, lazyman......oh man theres a lot more of you, but seriously, thank you so much to each an every single of you people out there. Never met any of you, and probably never will, but were all of the same cloth. Just love this fucking plant, and want to do nothing but spread great genetics to people that love buddha.


And big thanks to redspaghetti and fetivus for hooking it up with the midnight madness testers.

Super sweet bro... that room is gonna be a jungle before long. No idea how you're going to get in there but if that ends up being your biggest problem then I think you're alright ;)

I always wondered what AOD stood for :)

The room looks good bro. I'm interested to see how you do, since I just upgraded to 2 x 6oo. 1gpw with 1200w is a nice harvest.


Good luck bro. Tagged

plants look real healthy, only thing i see that i would change is to move plants up on shelves and drop the lights lower to get more direct lighting to your stadium.

Thanks for the input joesy. Reason i have them down right now is that the little guys dont really stretch that much, so I fit as much as i could on the lower levels, so they would stretch, and i move each level from there on. Is not going to work for me once all the plants are in, but thank you so much for the input. Still figuring things out, and all of you people are gonna help me do it!

That's really nice :) k+

What are you plans for numbers in the future will you go back to SOG or stay with lower plant count?

How much space is there between each shelf?

That undersized carbon filter will not stop smells bro, you need an over sized one... As you have AC helping with temps maybe you should get a controller on the fan and slow it down so it running @ half speed that way the CF will kill the smells.

You White Shark x Jamaican looks like some good pot, is the other strain a Kush?

Will be watching this 1 :lurk:

Thanks for the advice Shhh, i was thinking that, and you confirmed it. Just gotta order one of those bad boys.

EDIT: sorry Shhh... didnt answer your question. I think i am going to just go with a lot of small plants. Im fucked one way or another if i Get caught, sooo.... As DHF likes to say, and what my experience has shown : "plant numbers dictate yields". at least in my setup.

thanks a lot.

Respect Bro.....Smaller setups dialed and hoonin with increased plant numbers will make yas happy come harvey guaranteed....

Glad yas figured out the active intake angle I`ve been preachin fer yrs for help on room temp control........

Get used ta takin mega cuts cuz yas can cull the weak stragglers and pick the cream of the crop for the bloom rooms so they`ll all grow uiniformly and create the proper canopy........and yeah....

"Plant numbers dictate yield".......that was Heathie that taught and showed me that shit first hand almost a decade ago , so I refuse ta let it fall by the wayside and be lost without remindin folks on a timely basis.....but.....

Gotta run clone factories fer increased plant numbers in rotations flippin perpetually on a yearly basis......and as you said earlier AOD..........

Most all of us are fucked if LEO catches us with our britches down so I`ve always been balls to the wall and ran a 1 man show cuz I could trust me , and I`m the only one that ever knew how many plants and how many locations I had so....anyways.....Be Safe , good luck and.....

Peace.....DHF.....:ying:....

OMG how the hell did I miss this (possibly too busy making phat paper boo boo)...AOD this is great, I love the simplicity of design.

I am SOOO tagged on this one! Two thumbs up!

Will have more shots in a few days, school is once again kicking my fucking ASS. But yea, the fact that my temps have been so easy to manage with the addition of a forced air intake, I am going to be adding another 600 watter in there. Think im gonna go with MH just to add to the spectrum. Also, I think im going to take the ballasts and shit outta the room , cuz they take a big ass space on the wall, and I dont want the plants messing with them or anything. Few more days I will have more pics up. Thank you all for the positive input, and please, any suggestions are greatly appreciated . Keep it green.

Nice looking setup AOD. I am running a 1200w stadium too and am also thinking about adding a 3rd light. I have a 400w CMH I may use for the spectrum like you mentioned. If you add the MH please post up how much it raised your average temp, I'm curious.

Hey wisco, I ordered the light yesterday, it should be here by the end of the week. I am pretty excited about this. I think that with the addition of the extra light, and the stadium, I think yields are going to get blown away compared to my old set-up. Keep it green.

Week 4

Week 4

Hey whats up every body. As usual for this time of year, school has been kicking my ass, and I have not had time to do shit, other than CAD, Revit, and Rhino work.

Ok, so everything is doing pretty good, except for this.

So yea, not really sure what this is. I am thinking heat damage stress, something like that. The temps are not very high, doesnt really get above 80 ever. I did have a somewhat shitty fungus gnat outbreak, but I am pretty sure I got that covered with Gnatrol. I am thinking it is heat stress, tell me what yall think.


Also, the top level is a lot less developed then the first two, so I just made the height diff to be 8" instead of 12". Not sure how well its going to work, because now more plant is getting blocked by the plant below it, but we will see.


I actually just added another 600 watter in there. More pics at the end of the week. Thanks everybody, the post is kind of scatterbrained, but as said earlier, school is fucking ROCKING ME!!!!


Any suggestions please let me know. Keep it green.
