Hmmm... This thread is a lot like something that just popped into my head. I'll be back around when it's rolling.

Sorry, a little slow on the update here.

I'm at day 33 of flower now. Attached are some pics from today and at 22 days flower.

I'm very happy with the way this is turning out. The system is working well for me. On the next run I will know better than to let them get as overgrown as they did this time. Still, they are budding up nicely. I'm anxious to see how this yeilds. I expect to be cutting them a couple days after christmas (70days flower)

33 days

Inspirational stuff PoorBoy, many thanks, I am looking at designing my first proper Vert grow and your Steel mesh cage is the best solution I can think of for a well set up Colisseum.

Im gonna guess you will get close too 1gram per watt on this one.
Eventually when you tune it in i would guess up to 1.5 - 2gpw.

My guess is about 4lbs on this one.

Im anxious too see, and i have to give you props that was the most genius and simplest use of buckets in a vertical i have ever seen, you made it simple props for that!

I just read it from start to finish, sweet setup, very ingenius, best of luck,
Id love to see what you could do with some nutes
one thing about vegging vert is they dont really grow tall, but when you flip, you get a massive burst of stretch

thanks for sharing with us!!

Looking good.

I posted at the beggining of this thread that I thought this system was earthquake proof. Thats been proven three times already ;-)

There are nice sized buds forming throughout. I can't get the camera up high enough above the cylinder to show it, but there is an 18" ring of solid vegetation top to bottom, and around. Alot is way overgrown. I wish I had pruned more aggressively on day 21.

PoorBoy, this is an awesome show of ingenuity and determination. Having just read the entire thread, I'm excited and hopeful of your Christmas yield. The extra long veg will probably bolster the results! Tagged up and watching with interest!

 

[~Shhh~]

What Nutes are u giving them? are you given them a spike of potassium last the bit of flowering?

 

[down2grow]

Awesome!!

 

[down2grow]

Tight grow man!! Say if you somebody did this on a smaller scale, 5 buckets on the bottom and 5 on top. Would one 600w do the job? I'm really considering this.

let me know if you get nuteburn or see any signs of salt buildups. I doubt your draining that thing enough.
