otis' vertical experiments and other projects

[otis33]

Starting to taper off the nutes in the ppk circle. I kind of lost track. I can't find the notebook, but I'm thinking I'm about day 56 or 57. I took the sour jack and og 13 at 65 days last time, and the madness at 70ish. I should have started diluting the res before now. I may have to drain it and full it with plain water.

I finished filling the beds this evening. 10 bricks of cocogrow and a huge bag of perlite. I need to get this thing finished and loaded up. I'm trying to have the harvests at the rental roughly a month apart. between work and my family, its hard to get things done. I started to assemble the irrigation.
After I plumb the brute trashcan/res and connect the sprinklers to the octobubblers, I can transplant these clones.

Oh ya, Scott's og and White Fire are sprouting!!! Super excited to grow these out

I'm about two Weeks in to flower with the stacked donut screens. The sour jacks are really stretching. I should have put the og 13 on the bottom, the SJ definitely could have used the extra room. The blumats are dialed, new bulbs in sockets, and the screens are filling up. The bottom screen will definitely be full, and if I had put the og on bottom and sour jack on top the screens would have been pretty close to full on top and bottom. I need to fix the light in this room so I can get some pics in softer light.

The ppk circle has been flushing for 7-10 days, and I took this Friday off of work so I could have a three day weeken trim. Its only five plants, but I have small children so I can only do it after they have gone to bed; it sucks waking up at 6am after trimming all night. These plants are looking good. I need to buy a new camera, this phone camera doesn't do them justice.
This is madness, It is probably the most potent of my strains. I'm growing a big mom so I can monocrop one of my bigger areas. almost all the bus have foxtails on this plant:

Here is the OG13. This was my best yielder of the three strains in the ppk. I like madness better, but its pretty popular among my friends and family

I finally found time to finish plumbing the irrigation for the coco beda and to fill them with plants. I had to put two rows of og on one side because singer of my pineapple express clones just weren't looking to good. I wish I had an og mother the size of th pe, I would like to have run og in this thing instead.
I was foolish to think that I would just full up a4x8 tray for an easy extra harvest. it turning into much more work than I expected. It would have been much easier to let the 8xl hoods sit in the garage and just put some plants around 2x1000 wt bulbs. I am already in too deep, so I will grow it out and learn from it.

Instead of Air Pots in milk crates, you can line the crates with shade cloth and fill them directly with your media to get more root volume. Looking good.

[sheik_yerbouti]

Nice show for sure.

 

[otis33]

Thanks guy!

Yeah I am running a PPK plant as a tester and I am definitely going full PPK soon your plants look wonderful otis

 

[otis33]

I'm definitely glad I put the ppk circle together. They are the best looking plants I've grown. I'm wishing I would have just built two more ppk circles instead of these:

 

[otis33]

I don't know what about horizontal canopy that is intimidating me, but I'm having anxiety about adding the beds to my busy schedule

 

[hotboxes]

after going vert the height restriction never was a problem anymore, plus I don't think I could do beds. I'm a short guy so tryn to get the ones in the middle would be a serious task lol

 

[Wendull C.]

It is simple bro just trellis 'em out, keep 'em flat, simple. I have good luck with a double trellis. The second layer added at day 21 of flower. It seems to help 'em stack up and instead of holding themselves up all their energy can go to make 'em big and sticky.
Sorry to get off vert. guys. My apologies.

hey otis! your plants look great! thank you for trying this!

 

[frankenstein2]

Your set-up is sweet, and plants look great. Your og13, and sour jack are they from g13 labs? I hope so, i have both vegging right now, and to hear about and see your yield makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, i love killer pot that yields well.
