Just put my first plant in the jars. 78.4 grams. I know I'll lose a few grams during cure. my previous best is 59 grams at jarring, smashed it, Fuck yeah I'm stoked.I want to thank Avi, dhf,arminus,and abunch more of the vert guys here I couldn't have gotten yeilds like this without you guys blazing a path to vert-ville. And to think I almost went back to flat garden.

Dhf I am indecisive about bare bulb. I already get burned by the cooltubes. I think it would be easier to stack 2 cooltubes. Than to pay for all that Co2 and AC that gets sucked out the scribe. I live in a desert so AC is a must 8 months a yearyear

I thought the same thing until I measured the lux loss associated w/ a cooltube (see thread in vert section). Adding a cool tube is going to reduce the intensity by 20-30% ... not worth it. Just get a bigger exhaust fan/AC/etc. if necessary.

what I do is.. turn my hids off.. and turn on a few cfls.. to work .. wen im done.. I toss the hids back on.. allows me to work in a comfortable room . not blasting heat on my back and arms .

and if I need to work at lights out.. GREEN LED bulbs work great..

been using them for 3-4 years now.. n no problems with hermis or anything.

Ayo Bred where'd you get green LEDs..... I'm sick of waitin till 7pm to start projects in the flower chamber..

And to the OP, thats a sick ass job man I'm happy to hear your killin it. I flipped a week ago on my first vert scrog, running 2 1ks I can only hope to crush it like you did. Imagine the possibilities when you run in coco or hydro? shoot for the moon bro

Peep my thread, link is in my signature. I'm running a very similar setup to yours, and maybe you could give me a tip or two while you see how I skinned this cat.

I'd love to see some pics of what you're running!

Thanks cold, been alittle rough since last update. Have a broken pipe behind my shower so the landlord and her handyman have been taking their sweet time getting it fixed.. They want to try the cheap fixes first. I moved 24 large plants and 30 babies in to a 6.5x6.5 tent at a Secure location. So next e
Round is waiting. Super stressful. I miss not seeing my girls.on the other hand most of my stuff is gone and I've gotten what I need to expand. Got some awesome deals.

Wow, sounds like a real cliffhanger! Hope they get your shower fixed and get you back in tune with your girls asap!

I run my vert in RDWC and while I'm still smiling and dialing, I'm very happy with early returns. I'm looking forward to seeing what you're bringin'!
