Mister D's Vertical Redemption

[Mister_D]

Uh, still struggling with them pictures are we?
Employed! Stoned! And anxiously awaiting!
Hope all is well, later...Hazed

Employed! and stoned . Glad to hear things are looking up for you hazed.

This thread is all about knowledge and power......All should take notice ....

Mr D is all over this shit.....bet on it....been lurking and not posting much to dial down controversy but I`m around regardless of my opinionated remarks.....

Mr D.....Respect.....Freds....

You know we all love your opinionated remarks fred. Feel free to share them. More information is good for everyone.

MisterD - I been growing Sam the Skunkman's Haze x Skunk#1 and I have to say I REALLY LIKE the way it is performing so far. I will be posting up some pics tomorrow over in my thread but Haze and Chemdog's (Bobbles Strawberry ChemDD) are my new FAVE strains...I am really intersted in doing some 15-16 week PURE Hazes I've heard their almost hypnotic in their effect...great thread!

Thanks mega. Looking forward to working with the hazes myself. I have some very interesting breeding knowledge sam dropped on me about these skunk haze beans of his. Research tom hill's "clean up on aisle 9" pheno of his haze and you'll know exactly what i'm seeking .

I grew the Sam's in vert. The next time I do it I plan on zero veg time. It is INSANE.

Stretch baby stretch

Thx my friend, I keep that in mind and work from there. I have just to find a way to fit those hazes in my cab



This 3d is all that .I see the passion and commitment MR D as to the community, a quality that i am trying to embrace. Thx to all contributing, all of you makes the mag a better place
Peace S

You are the master of the mini box bro, I have faith you will grow some excellent haze in that lil cab of yours. We are very lucky to have such a knowledgable group of like minded people here in the vert forum. Really feels like family around here, for the most part. Then again whenever somebody starts trolling in the vert forum we all rise up and attack like an angry pack of piranhas.

You say undervegged, but I thought that was kind of by design on this run.. ? Not seeing much canopy space between shelves/levels, so I fingered you were lookin' for about this size..?


Regardless,

There is 2ft of usable vertical plant space between each rack. Ideally every plant will grow up to the soil line of the plant above it. This will create a solid cylinder of weed, nothing but buds floor to ceiling. I sort of achieved this with the bottom two rows. You can see in the picture above the black pots are hidden by the plants, vs the undervegged shot where there is tons of open space where there should be branches with buds forming on them. I knew this run was going to be a mess before it even started, but it is giving me "runs under my belt" knowledge with the system. I have never run any of these strains in a short bush sog style before so there is alot to sort out. For instance I have to adjust cloning and veg times so things flow smoothly. Ultimately i'm a perfectionist and won't be happy until I achieve it.

GODDANGIT D! things are goin' CRAZY in there!! fuckin' awesome dude! everything here is gettin heads 6/9?

how high up the pots are ya floodin'? how many cycles?

thanks for all the input on the organics too...my local store just started carrying Bio-Biz!

looks insane

 

[Mister_D]

Bonz - Yea shit is finally taking off again . Everything, clone, veg, and flower is on 6/9. Pots are being flooded about 4" deep, for ~20 mins, once every day. Give biobizz a shot, nobody i've recommended it to has stopped using it since.

More like a shark tank. When someone trolls the vert shark tank, let the feeding frenzy begin.

I`ve conVERTED so many folks in 20 yrs online growin inside and not once EVER has anyone REverted back to reflectors and flat grows......but.....

I`m very opinionated about what works and what doesn`t and some folks get it it , but most don`t.......regardless.....

Vert crew down here knows all the rules ......It`s all about the rules.....

Peace....DHF...........

 

[Grizz]

rules ? dont need no stinkin rules ! i always break them anyway, whats up vert crew ? we are a tight bunch for sure..

DHF i thought you might have crocked on us, i know your old as dirt. lol..

 

[bobblehead]

Looking good D. I'm happy for you. I'm surprised all the blumats are working. IDK why they won't all work for me. It sure would make life more simple.

Thank you putting in the time and effort to produce a quality, fun and informative thread!

Alright everybody, been getting alot of pm's wondering if i'm ok. All is well here at D farms. Just busy busy busy. Got most of my breeding room built. Can't get done soon enough, the veg room is seriously over grown .

Seeds are doing their thing as well.

Continued....

 

[Mister_D]

Ran out of acid and the only place I know of that sells it was out. So I went to the trusty interweb where everything is only a click away and learned something interesting. Battery acid is only 35% sulfuric acid. Granted sulfuric acid is alot stronger than phosphoric acid, I figured if I was going to order something, may as well go for the good stuff .

98% purity. Thinking a drop or two per 5 gals. is all I will need even with my hard ass water.

4.25 gallons should last me..........oh.......FOREVER

Dang that's hard core. It takes me a ml of phosphoric acid to shift 5 gallons.

 

[Mister_D]

Breeding Room - 12x12' completely sealed.

Non Vented Blockbuster reflectors. Debating on buying two more, or trying out magnum xxl's. Pending light distribution testing. Still need to build the second table, waiting on pondliner also.

Ballasts are hung, timer wired (need some wire staples to fix the yellow romex), new max fans (I have three of them, now who has maxium bitchin airflow ). Also in the boxes are two 8x24" phresh filters and a bunch more coco.

The 10" will suck cooled air from the veg room and push it through the 8x24" phresh filters via a 10x8x8" duct wye into the breeding room. While the 14" sucks air out of the breeding room tee's in and pushes through the big filter in the veg room.

14" exhaust in the breeding room, same as the bloom room

 

[d3cryption]

be careful with that acid......... that 14'' fan is gong to move some serious air....

 

[Mister_D]

Moving right along. The bloom room took a hit this last week. I topped off the res, but forgot to adjust ph. As a result the plants were being fed @ 8.5 ph all week. Lots of yellow leaves, and noticable lack of growth. Sucks but such is life..... Need to catch up on defoilation anyway. Blumats are still working fine. A few plants got a bit drier than I would like, but nothing life threatening. I just soaked them and dialed them open 1/2 an arrow.

Bogglegum. Not going to yield shit, but she smells like bubblegum candy

Your water probably isn't 0.6 EC out of the tap .

Thanks for the warning, but I know how to play with fire . The 14" does move alot of air. I'm using another one in the veg room . Give thread a read, lots of good stuff in here.

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Your water probably isn't 0.6 EC out of the tap .

No it is just over 0.8 EC. I use RO because of that. Other wise I could drive nails my water is so hard. It get even harder in the summer when people water their lawns around here. Has more iron it it then as well.

And the PH is almost 9 from the tap. If I freeze it the when the ice melts I have these gross looking lumps.

OK ich you win this round .

No you win, your plants look great for 8.5 PH for a week. They must have been in great shape before you tried to kill them.

 

[sgapetti]

very nice D , i can't even imagine what you are going to pull from that setup with the right strain and some dialage . Just amazing
