This project comes out of the lessons learned from B. Self Reliant's 600W vertical. Per B., he felt that 600 was too much for his space (3x4ft I believe), and mentioned 2 400's might do the trick. So I followed his advice! This is a Homebox L (3.3 x 3.3ft) with two 400W lights.

My grow has been a single 400W mh until today, when I upgraded to have both MH and HPS (mh on bottom, hps on top). Ideally, I'd like to grow ~8 week strains under one half of the tent, and very tall long-flowering sativas in the other half.

These are 13 Mosca C99 F1 beans. Had some early nutrient (and virus) issues but I think now I'm sorted.

More to come.

Nice weed doughnut Bro......Is that a 4 x 4 space those plants are in ?.....

I`d suggest flippin em if they`re not already in flower now cuz there`s no tellin what size each plant will get by end of stretch and they`re close together now......

Anyways.....Good luck .....

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

Forgot to mention - thanks! 3.3ft x 3.3ft. It's a homebox L. Lights switched yesterday, so I'm pumped to see how big they get.

A man who follows through with his plans. . . very impressive!

I can't wait to see this. Stoked you minimized the waiting time by not posting until you had plants that were vegged out for a while! I've wanted to run Mosca's C99 since it was first released. This is gonna be a killer thread!

I see that the plants aren't tall enough to effectively use properly stacked bulbs. . . are they both on right now as they veg out? How are the temps?

Once the 8 week strain is harvested, do you plan on replanting that side before the longer flowering side finishes or do you plan on having a half empty tent for the last couple of weeks? The reason I ask is because one scenario would require you to veg in final containers in a separate veg space for all subsequent rounds, and the other would be more forgiving and allow you to veg both sides simultaneously in the tent when in final containers.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Those lamps being secured with twist ties looks kinda scary imo.... I would like to see those lamps secured with steel strap and clamps. Just looking out for your safety...

Looks like you have a full house. Can't wait to see this weed donut blow up.

Hey B! Yeah I like to usually wait until I'm a few weeks into flower to start posting, but here we are...

In terms of bulbs, I think I could have let them get a bit taller before adding the second bulb (which was today), but from what I'm seeing at least 5 of them have outgrown the effective range of light from the MH bulb. They are now benefiting from the direct light of the new bulb, and the others are benefiting from the light on top of the canopy. So while I probably could do without both bulbs, I want to see how this accelerates growth (if at all).

I've actually grown Mosca's C99 BX before with spectacular results in vertical. I'm psyched to see how these F1's perform. Secretly I'm hoping for a few males to give theses girls a bit more space.

I will have a separate veg space for new girls and rotate in new plants as space becomes available. The veg space is a yet-to-be-built Homebox S with two layers, one for mom's, clones and starts, the other for vegging plants. It's also vertical in it's own way.


Here's some more pics:

Secured with nuts and bolts, then adjusted with twist ties to balance the fixture up and down. This assembly works without the twist ties, it just balances really awkwardly.

Thanks for clearing that up. Carry on.

Looking nice bro...

I've been considering adding a second 400w to my tent as well

I only squeeze 14 in a 4x4 vert. I can see this filling out real nice my friend, tagged up!!

Yeah, I'd running that second bulb too unless there was a specific reason not to, especially because you have bulbs of different spectrums.

Males or no males you always have the option of culling plants if you run short of space! I've never worked with Mosca's genetics or C99, so I can't mentally picture what those gals will look like in a month, but if you're short of space then toss some. There's no reward for flowering more plants, only for well planned & executed grows. How does she grow by the way. . . is she bushy?

How big are your containers?
