thanks fish, i put 1/2" pvc 1" lengths in the bottoms. One bed has 15 drain holes and the other has 10 drain holes. Sealed them up on both sides with some caulking and got to say they turned out real nice.

I pretty much modified delae's soil beds to fit my vertical lighting setup. I figured i'm not going to change anything and if it's good enough for delae its good enough for me lol. good luck on your new beds fish!

Thanks Qleaner! I love my Verts but I'm thinking about doing a test of Horizontal again. Thinking the next rotation i'll make some 4' x 4' beds with some adjust-a-wings see how they compare to my vert setup. Last horizontal I did were with air cooled hoods. Always hearing how great adjust-a-wings are and I really like those 4' x 4'x beds lol idk still thinking about it lol

Trial and error. Its neat how even a small adjustment can change things in a major way. So many different factors involved and options for them. We've alwayz got our hands full, dont we?
Ive used the adjust a wing, but not the air cooled "Cool Tube". My yeilds nearly tripled by switching to vert. Veg vert too. Im about to re-do my veg spot. Hang T5's vert in the plant intersections in place of the hps. Maybe cage the plants. I wanna try to get even distribution of intensity from the top to the very bottom branch. Stack them nodes like crazy!!! Hoping that'll increase the yeild even more! Got my fingers crossed! I'll get some pics up when everything's done. Goodluck gettin er dialed in my freind. An endless quest. We'll alwayz strive for better,ya know?!! Lol. Take it easy man. Peace.

Yeah DD, man no fuckin around looks like. The beds are lookin killer, and ya already know how i feel about them killer cages of yours haha. The hunnies will stop kicking and scremaing soon enough, and i think they will thank you for the switch ten fold. Hope this is the end all for ya brother, and ur rooms fill with copious amount of dank ass organic nugs!!! Im peekin bro, curious to see just how much of change will be goin on with the new setups, me thinkis it will be something stellar.

Much K brother

lol we are always fine tuning and looking to increase yield and quality lol I want perfection! it's got some side effects though lol I love my Vert's but it's time to experience a few more adjustments lol. Good luck on everything to man, definitely throw some pics up when you get a chance.

I don't waste time when I know a change is due. I didn't think the cages could look any better than they did but man they look great in the soil beds lol. I feel like they are very upset teenage girls rebelling against their dad lol they are doing everything to get me upset! lol I'll give them my credit card, just don't want them to get hurt. you know??

It's going to take some time to get the girls settled in and get the sync re-established but i got some very high hopes for the new batch's. Not to mention Me getting adjusted to growing in Soil lol Hoping for the Dankest of Dank! Thanks for all the Karma Ken!

The veg girls are finally starting to recover from the root pruning and transplant to soil. Been foliar feeding these girls last couple days or so.


Here is Kraken #1 The last Kraken that will be run in my Ebb & Grows. She is bulking up real nice but honestly can't wait to get rid of all the E&G Plants.
