****Vertical Grow System****

[u.g.u]

Finally got the system up and running took a while to get the moms big enough for 54 clones. The system consits of 6 digital 600's covering 126 vertical sq ft(only uses 36 sq ft of floor space). Eveything is controlled by a cap xgc-1 brain I haven't hooked the co2 Gen up yet but that will be by next week. I let them go in the flood table a little longer than normal so I should only have about 2 weeks of veg till flower I normaly veg 21 days to fill up the whole space. I used a mix of hydroton and rock wool grow cubes so that it wicks we are only using the nft connections no drip.

F-ing wonderful. Looking forward to results. Did you do all the wiring yourself? Looks pretty safe.

[Opie Yutts]

Oh, one suggestion, not that you need it. If you find that you start running into temp problems, it might be alleviated by simply replacing as much of the coiled dryer duct with actual straight tube ducts as is possible. It will make a huge difference. Totally solved my heat problem in my veg section.

[u.g.u]

this time of year temps not a problem but we'll see how it goes in the summer we had some 115 days last year.

[Opie Yutts]

115? Ouch.

[Legalizdahurb]

Cool Ty u.g.u ill have a look @ that thread laterz

[ButchieYost2001]

So this is the expanded setup?! Cant wait to see how it turns out, stupid comment - WE all know how its gonna turn out, PERFECT!!!!

[ledgrower]

sounds good but my question is why all the lights...? you dont need 2 tubes side to side...soo 6 600? why not just 2 1000 or even 3 1000s in a tube...a lot of the light is goona be wasted by having the other tube block it... i say this cuz we run with the 240 gi grows and use 2 600 watt digies....those light it up plenty and the more light you save the more wheels you can run...

thats a pic with no trays in yet...

[Opie Yutts]

WTH, do we get to see that thing in action?

[klondike_bar]

wow....engineers rule the world!!

those look mighty kickass lighting

[ledgrower]

ha..with- in the next few weeks...building up a stock of 150 sensi stars to place in the system,,,,

I need to go change my pants after having seen your set up.

[u.g.u]

the reason so many lights if you take 3600 watts and you divide it by 126 sq ft that only puts me at 28 watts a sq ft in my flat gardens I run 50 to 75 watts a sq ft so in order to get the yield that I want, I need more light to cover more area I know there is still a 22 watt min differance that will be made up by being closer to the bulb I have a digital lux meter what I need to acheive is 30,000 lux at the top of the plants. I few watts may be wasted by being next to one another but that really dosn't matter to me. what you have to remember here is this is like having an 11 x 11 size room. It probaly not neccacery to have that many lights but our goal here is yield if I take my last grow as a referance this should be a 8.5lb set up maybe more do to being a better strain.

Too bad I can't see the pictures without signing up over there.

[CultureCherryPopper]

This is impressive. Makes me wish I had a more permanent residence. Next time I move I'll be sure to find a location with space enough to do this. Props to you.

Sooooooooooooo SICK. Crazy cuz this is almost exactly what i imagined i wanted to build when i first saw a vert grow a couple years ago. Just a shame i cant grow anymore. For now. Keep up the good work.
