Vegging Vert Q

just wrote the same thing TWICE and it went away...well here we go again...

first, thank you Jnugg! I want to do it just like you but with 600w, bigger room and double the plants.

I did some indoor and had decent results: 300-350g/600w horizontal. but did outdoor mostly. will do that this year too but want to focus on indoor vert.

my weapons of choice was GH Lucas but will try GHS PowdeerFeed since I grow GHS strains(NL5 HM, SSH, WR and EC). I add supervit and superthrive and maybe some Canna PK and use mapito as medium and flood&drain(tank under the bed)
any experience with PowderFeed?

since Id on't use MH for veg(just the mothers) but HPS, will that couse a problem? do the plants grow up or in towards the light?

want to do Heath's pipe colloseum but don't have time or space for 100+ clones. so I'll go with 16 plants(2 per 5gal basket). I go with 10days of veg and then swich to 12/12. I dont want go grow them too much, just under 1m(3 feet) so the entire plant will have all the light. is this true: "600w is most efficient at a 60cm(2feet) from bulb and has a spread of 90cm(3feet)."? I put it in " coz thats what I read and hear... coz as stated, my room is 5x5feet and the plants are exactly 2 feet from the center.

oh and if I put the exaust ducting just above the bulb(a have a cooltube and will take everything off but the socket with the ducting) will this make be to put my plants closer to the bulb? so far my closest idea is 1 feet from bulb.

thank you again and looking forward to your grow too!

p.s. want to grow for myself and few friends. we need the meds. I have severe headaches from "cilinders" (don't know the english word for it but it causes headaches and migrenes from an eye problem) and beaing a skater/snowboarder/rugbyplayer, I'm in pain all the time :) my homies too...

PEACE!

DHF so sorry for the missinterpretation. I have deep respect for you and would NEVER call you fake. I named and called you the prince because I was reading many topics regarding vert grow and also stumble upon Heath's. and also now I know why I can't find none of yours... but since he is gone from forums I turned to you for your knowledge.

didn't really knew all that, that you encouraged HIM about vert, so that basically makes you THE King of vert! and the f-words + typos(tnx farmari)...when I am excited, this shit just blows out of me...

anyway, sorry again and hope you'll still help me. but I think I can't wait for 50 posts and new thread would be stupid... since I have just a couple specific Qs and that's it. MAYBE I could expand that thread into a grow log of some sort but not a big fan of pics up here too...

you know what, I'll just shoot one, since it's the right thread: how long do I need to veg rooted clones to eventually get to max 1m(finnished plant) in height? flower room: 150x150x200, 16plants around the one 600w (philips pia plus hps) and, are more indica strains good for vert or just go for more sativa? if, what's the veg for one and the other?

respect man!
peace
OOPS.....Written word doesn`t translate from thoughts to keyboard sometimes , and I apologize for takin shit the wrong way , and all over a fukin "typo" .....Still...I just tryta help folks and no one special......now....

Thanks for helping us all out DHF. It's pretty impressive that you still patrol these boards dropping knowledge. Would have saved myself a lot of headaches about six months ago had I found you, ha ha ha.

I`m old and bored Flat....:moon:....and....

There`s more of us around than folks here realize , but I tryta stay in Vert-ville helpin all that wanna learn "Bare Bulbs 101" with the skills I honed in a "specific" area of croppin over more yrs than I care to remember....and hey jbtito....

600`s is all I used in smaller areas cuz the plants can get closer to the bulbs without the heat stress/scorching and light bleaching that 1K`s are notorious for , but with 25 sq ft , yas still need at least 1200 watts as in 2-6`s , and in the future tryta figure 50 watts per sq ft for lighting...

Small muffin fans under each bare bulb on the lowest setting to gently "assist" natural heat convection with exhaust/scrubber combo`s above and air exchange twice per min is your friend.....bet on it...anyways...

Good luck....DHF....:ying:....

I'll get me a grow thread started here soon. Right now it's just 8 different strains vegging in coco + blumats, so not much is happening. Girls are about 12" tall. Will wait til they're 24" and then flip (stretch is typically 2 - 3 x, yes?).

I can hear your gripes already: not monocropping! This is intentional -- growing out a bunch of strains to see which I like the best, and then I'll keep one or two of them. Also will expand my space to be either two 4 x 8.5 tents or one 8 by 8 tent, and may switch her up to d9's ppk's and grow trees once I select the winners...
