Said it before and I'll say it again, after seeing it for the first time, I once spoke too soon, and decided I'd seen enough research to assert my opinion.

Well boys and gals I'm back to make it official. 3.5 pounds off a 1k

The secret? Your veg game!

Plants vegged under floros till they were 3 feet before the switch with 6 plants around a 1k.


That number will only grow, I promise.

Special thanks to a special grower changing the game (if he ever reads this)
And I'm on track to pull 4 off the next run.

Wa gwaan!

Srry ozzy, at this point in the game I can't risk having media around with pics, it'd be different if the grow was at my house, but I'm running it from a friends,

I assure you tho, I may be being modest even, top to bottom production with vert, its the best method to date. No one can challenge this and there is nothing to prove when it's a known fact.
 
I'm in the process of moving to a new state, and I'm thinking about setting my new grow room up in a vert style with two 600's.
 
No Worries bro. I was just giving you a hard time. I just glad to see your still safe and living the good life:peace:

Thats exactly what ole bonez is building right now in 4x8 tent. Veg the plants till they are 2-3 feet, they won't stretch up much but they will be stacked with bud, 2 600's vert will do 4 lbs easy. Let me know if you wanna know the dynamics of my setup and why it works so good. Ps I use a 4' 6bulb floro to veg all these plants and they veg while the flowering cycle is going so a good two months veg and they are huge by the time you rotate them in, tons of bud!!!
 
You've got my attention for sure bonez. We are in the process of house hunting now and I've got a strict rule about it having a mancave of some sort to grow in.

I'm liking the sound of this grow style at the new crib. I'm all ears J
 
You should see my mancave, living in the burbs has it's perks
 
So, are you training all the branches to face the light or turning the plants daily?

On a side note it'd be funny to have 6 plants spinning on potters wheel type mechanisms around a 1k light.
 
Been doing it for years. Best advice when running them. Is do not water with lights on. Blinds you from the light spread and really bad for your eyes. Secondly, always water with bulbs off. I still have a few light burns from hitting the bulbs ): and lastly, always use swivel locks to hold your mogul sockets. S hooks can fall easily, shattering your bulbs. GL all.
 
Can someone explain this? Or post a link? Pretty sure I've scrolled the stickys but not heard/seen this technique.
 
Chef is right, you can go blind doing this, seriously guys, I'm already having slight issues with my eyes part in fact I'm getting older, but still.
 
Go get a pair a welding goggles for when you need to be in heir with the lights.
 
I got the old people murdered out goggles, my wife gets a laugh.

Fashion a blocker that can be put on the light. I use the round reflector part from inside my cool tube and it fits around half of the tube so I'm not blinded.

you take your lightbulb and socket out of the reflector and hang it vertically.

I thought everybody knew that in most cases the longer you veged the bigger your yield, didn't know it was a secret. i'm pulling up a chair, quoteThats exactly what ole bonez is building right now in 4x8 tent.

you might try dididium lenses, I think thats what the're called, hot glass artists wear them.

+1. Great idea Skagit! Didymiums would block a good amount of glare. If a person really wanted to make an investment in their eyes and spend some money, look into a set of Aura Lens'- hXXp://www.auralens.net/index1.cfm
I have the AGW-286 in a shade 4/2 and they are pretty dark. I've worked with a shade 6 and you could probably stare at the sun with a set of those. A 5/2 split or even 5/1 would be pretty nice for grow room protection I bet. A shade 5 is supposed to filter around 97% of all UV and infrared 18" or so from the source if I remember right.

Sorry to jump off topic. I'm also interested in hearing more on your setup JBonez. Is there a minimum space size that would be ideal for something like this? And do the plants need to be rotated?
 
I always run vert if I can, makes multi strain growing 1000x easier. Not a big issue running sativas and indicas in the same flower room.
 
I wanted to run vert last year but I didn't think my 4x4x6.5 tent was big enough....maybe next run this fall.
 
keep in mind peeps, some MH bulbs can only run vert, or only run horizontal, while others are universal. If using MH to boost veg, make sure you select the correct bulb for the application.
HPS are universal.

I remember my old set-up i bought through hightimes mag. It's been so long but I think the MH bulb said BU, bottoms up, it meant never run horizontal.
