[Mr.Jones]

i havent found a general thread about vertical systems so i started this one ...
i really searched the page for a time and didnt find anything about this topic:

what systems are there?
what experiences did people make? pro/con
...

i have many questions but cant find the answers!

the systems ive found so far are:
-colosseum
-pi-rack
-florada
-growtower
-ecosystem

if theres already a thread like this one just delet my one and hand me the link

im especially interessted in the growtower

[Mr.Jones]

so okay some information on the stuff ive already found out:

ecosystem


2x600w vertical movable
height 5f
diameter 4f

price: around 3000

pi-rack


350 plants
3x600w vertical
i think should be pretty much 6f by 6f

pretty good system - yields up to 7 pounds

price: around 3000 or more

colosseum


300plants
3x600w vertical
6f height 6ft diameter

supposed to be better than the pi-rack

price: 3000

growtower:

(picture: easygrower)

2x400w
200plants
4f height 4ft diameter

many people say it is not that good - even a waste of money but still i couldnt find one grow report with this thing - some people claim it is possible to yield 2gr./w or even more if the system is dialed in - some say two pounds is pretty good

price: 2000 or less

anybody?

or make your own!

[Mr.Jones]

you are right but since i build my system all by myself i can tell there is always some parts which dont work - are not effective - bug around

2000 for the growtower seems to be alot of money but its all in there (including nutrients,lights,...)

for a self build i had to invest at least 1000 myself

Mr Jones,was that grow tower originally named the grow-kettle or something similar?I saw a grow with one on Overgrow once,cant remember much about it to be honest,I remember the original Vert system was the "Cage"?And the "Cube"?

yep should be the same thing - but since overgrow is gone all the info is lost - still found the links to the reports ...

I have a copy of ICMag with a double coli grow by SoQuick,I think he got 10lbs from a coli?

i read this one as well but it was an overgrow report, right? so i couldnt find it ... but 10lbs from 2 colis is about 2.5kg per 1800w - 1.4 gr./w - makes sence

from just one would be insane - 5000gr/1800w is 2.7gr./w - if that would be true i would have a growtower in no time!

Yeah mate,I read the overgrow thread,but its also an article in one of the ICMags,I think he got 10lbs from each coli,he did 2,I am sure someone else will have read the article and can corroborate or correct me on the yield?

Im a fan of the vert systems my self, but those puppies you posted are expensive. I dont no if you frequent any other forum, but you wanna look up grows by Heath Robinson. He's a pro with the verts. He has built gutter, pvc pipe, and wood vert systems. Nice.
