Stoney THC Farmer welcome to all!
I am ECSTATIC to get to show off my ongoing vertical development on this kind forum! I am currently in the middle of a move so it will be a couple of weeks before I get any pictures up, but until then I will get this thread prepped and ready to go so I can just plug in the pics. Some of you may have seen some of my grows or test grows over at ICMag. Welcome all fellow IC refugees. My name here has obviously changed by one letter. I now have no "e".
Anyway....
Small history of my experience.. I have grown indoors for a LONG time collectively. I grew for about 8 years then I took off five years due to a living situation that had children present. I have been back at it for about 5 years. I grow only "boutique" quality greens. If it isn't the best around, I don't keep it as a parent. I have grown in everything from soil, to organic medium hydroponics, to Rockwool, to aeroponics, to coconut. Styles of Trees, SOGS, ScrOGs, Horizontal w reflectors, to vertical... You get the idea. I like to experiment, build, adapt, change, and train.
Well for years I grew horizontal and decided after a while that I grew best in Coco DTW. Then I started studying the theories behind vertical. NEW OBSESSION! I have 3 runs now under my belt with vertical setup. I love it. After seeing some things and learning some things I have designed a rack system that I am sure will need a lot of modifications, but is the pinnacle of what I have learned so far about how to maximize the potential of my current standard of expertise in growing this lovely herb.
The pieces are on the way and will be put together as soon as they arrive. I have been in the middle of a move and donated my parent plants where I came from to a friend. I am in a new state.. COLORADO BABY!!!!
Back to it... The vertical rack system will consist of 3 levels from top to bottom of 4 plants each and on 4 sides of the light. My original design was to be an octagonal prism but after testing out vert, I realized that four sides was proper because where the angles would be on the octagon the plants would try to crowd and grow into each other creating uneven and sparse light penetration. So, We start the rack with 4. All on casters and their own separate unit. This will also be a ScrOG. My first vertical attempt had no trellis as I wanted to see how things grew naturally in a vert setup. Well, they grow UP. So to maximize the amount of budsites getting direct and proper amounts of light, we ScrOG now.
So we will end up with 48 plants per flowering rack system and they will be with 2kw HPS shining in the midst. Coco DTW. With a nutrient profile that is a highly modified 6/9 formula.
Also I will be running two different sets of tester packs that I will link here later on. I will say they are testers to the side of the ones that are. Also I will be running the end of my Rez stock..... There will end up being 2 racks flowering after the first run. The first run and half the second will be a new mother hunt and I will be running most of all of the following beans:
Burmese Headband
SD IBL
SSSDH X G13
SSSDH IXI
Chem IBL
Karma SD IBL X Biker Kush <---Test Thread soon
Bubba Kush
Cannaventure Diesel Fire <----- Test Thread soon
Chemdog D IBL X (ECSD X Chemdog D garlic)
Larry Gum F2
White Caramel X TSK Afghani BX
Happy Valley F2
Krom x Triple Deez
Krom F2
C99 x Triple Deez
C99 X Rotten Banana
Chemdog D IBL X Master OG
Chemdog D IBL X TrainWreckIBL
Cookie Wreck
Powerhouse X C99 <---- KILLER C99 cross that YIELDS and makes you sweat!
Chemdog D IBL X OG Alien
MILF (TW X White Widow) <--- doing this one just to say I grew MILF. LOL
Thanks to all contributors to these genes. Karma, CV, DJXX, HOL, Guerrilla Fam, and a few others..
Peace! for now. Enjoy the show and feel free to ask questions.
