Looks good Bro......If yas only had the ceiling covered in reflectix too.....then those upper lumens would be bounced back at the plants ftw , but hey......

I`m likin them donuts....looks like some thinning and pruning`s gonna be part of this run..we`ll see......

Always better to have more plant material to deal with than less that`ll never develop the sideways canopy.......

Good luck Bro....Freds.....:ying:....

Lookin' awesome!

It will be nice to compare my grow with yours! I flipped a few days ago, a little bigger then yours I guess. But I have a screen to attach them to.

Will for sure be alot of fun!
Best of luck! :)


*lookin around like a fool*.. Do you lads have some special trick to reduce the speed of the fan to even lower then the lowest step?
Will a dimmer do the work? Dosnt feel right with the 230 AC load to dim them.. err.. or...? :-o

thanks noyd, bugman, femora,

& fred;
u really think ceiling covered in relfectix would help? maybe i can get some strips of it tacked up there..... it's like waay up there compared to the lights but i dont doubt it will make a difference even up there, that's what ur saying right dhf? even if the bulbs are like 7 feet below the ceiling, ur saying still cover the cieling in something reflicty or white, eh?
I kno ur prollyy right cuz i've seen enough killer threads on here that have done exactly what ur saying.... every inch relecty.
in other larger vert rooms i've run in the past i had even higher cielings, and even less inlclination to cover them....
altho
in this situtation i just may.....
:thank you: thanks for the input, as always

& believe it or not this room has been trimmed primarily from the bottoms for clones, most of the room is untopped,
back in the dirty dirty i had a pal who always topped all his plants on the day he flipped, (worked fine 4 him but) i never thought of doing this in my own rooms until i ran vert.... still haven't ever done it, just thought it made sense more sense to possibly direct apical growth into lower lateral branches.....
but still plenty of inner growth and bottoms to take out....
geez i could fill the aero cloner again.... so many lil mini branches down in there now that i look,
and
the fruits of the last aero cloner are just so dang happy;

picture.php

^ all of these clones came from the aero cloner, no yellowing, no die off, all happy with new cup homes and no transplant stress, (cue red solo cup country song here)

picture.php

^ makes me wonder why i bother testing rockwool vs oasis cubes when aero cloner makes super healthy happy lil ones....

took out more bottoms today, refilled the aero cloner....

the tange still giving me some problems, they claw up everytime i feed them nutes it seems:
picture.php

^^^^ looks like too much nutes eh? high N? testy strain, nothing else in the entire room is clawing, but all the tange are more or less, i have one stillin horizontal veg fed only water for weeks, it's lookin nice.... so ill give only plain h2o to all the tange and keep hoping for the best from them.

Everything's lookin' killer mang, per usual.. Saw the full-room shot, and I'm super envious of your space! And also your space, a la location, and perhaps to a lesser degree, your cajones. ;)

On the claw, my Nightmare is doing that on me for the first time. I was wondering if it was too much N - I push her a lot leading into flower.. I had it with my Old Grandad once too, wondered the same thing. FWIW, I kind of just worked through it (eased up, kept an eye, blahblahblah) and all was well.. :dunno:

Sounds like we've had similar experiences with the rockwool v rapid rooter/oasis v aero gimmick..

What's in the water that goes into your aero magic root awesomeness? Do you pH it? Do you add anything? Food? Voodoo? RO? Do you let it set out to dechlorinate?

:thank you:

silver: aero water sits out 24 hours at least, usually aerated, nothing in aero water at all, just dip clones in liquid dip & gro, straight tap in the cloner res. always has worked fine for me so long as temp of the water doesnt get too cold (never had a problem w too warm).
i use dip & gro for all my cuttings/clones.... works great, super concentrate, never goes bad.

space location cajones.....
thanks, i guess :)

Didn`t realize yas had them high ass lumen stealin ceilings Bro.....so....

Guess reflectix above the plants that far would have minimal results at best versus the expense of hangin it , so nevermind......but.....

I`ve preached for yrs and yrs about droppin ceiling heights down to 8' so ceilings can help bounce lumens all around the grow areas FTW.......

If yas can`t do it , yas can`t do it and I understand about rental properties believe me....now......

That Sativa dominant "Tange" like ALL Sat dom hybrids can`t handle the juice and will guaranteed shut down on your ass with stored ppm`s and ph lockouts if not dealt with , so .....that said.....

Never flush with straight water , but rather 1/2 strength nutrients till she comes back around with new growth and clawing ceases......and then......

She needs her own juice with less N/micro/cal/mag "whatever it takes" to drop the EC on her ass so she can thrive and be all she can be......but.....

Once yas find her sweet spot , keep her fed well and she`ll blow the fuck up like most sat dom`s do , but most likely her nug`s will be less dense than the rest IME........anyways.....

Rest of the setup`s bangin so keep dialin my buddy , and stay on top of the sideways thinning/pruning/shaping.......Good luck and.......

Peace.....Freds.....:ying:......

my ceilings are prolly 8 feet ish, not tooo high, think it's worth it.... maybe get a piece of orca, cut into strips, tack it up in between my hangy beams; center of the room could still be a problem tho.

:thank you:
thanks bobble.

im 11 days or so into flowering, stretching still but budset is coming on now for sure.
considering dropping the bulbs, but will probably wait a lil bit longer.

gave koolbloom liquid yesterday along with nutes at low-ish doses:
5ml/10ml micro/bloom plus 1ml per gal of liquid koolbloom, ph 5.9 ppm right at around 600

Spend much time thinking instead of sleeping these days?

I always start getting excited when things start happening. :)

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

lites on at nite in this room, so ya, not a whole lot of sleep, or i should say erratic schedules lately....

i enjoy spending time in there and lately have been thinning undergrowth (just a reason to be in there, but needs doing, and im always hesitant not to take off 2much). the last few nites ive been in there all hours.

finally got a fan underneath the 4oow in the center of the room, went w the 7" honeywell muffin fan.
