Yeah 100% mate. The growth is unreal. They are photos though yeah??? I can’t wait to see what you do with them.

They are nice and healthy. Also you couldn’t wish for a more even canopy.
One day when I grow big I wanna grow just like you (that’s not me joking either) killing it @ReikoX :+1::v:

What’s the orange box?

I think that’s the pulse environment monitor

Looking good brother…

I thought you were using trellis net, now that i took a closer look, it’s much simpler and more efficient than that…
I’ve seen that eyelets in my local hardware store…
I might copy it in the future if needed :green_heart::green_heart::green_heart::green_heart:

Yes, it’s a Pulse Pro. Gives me real-time data of the grow, including temp, RH, and light levels. The pro model adds CO2 to the data and includes a PAR meter with spectral analysis. It will even give me notifications on my phone if the light doesn’t come on or the CO2 tank runs out. Sorry to sound like a commercial, but I love my Pulse.

I’m sure I copied it from someone on ICMag, but can’t recall who. Perhaps @VerdantGreen and his modular ScrOG stuff. :grin:

I’m a huge fan of all the PVC and eyelets/cord trellis and screen I see, I think the first person I ever saw do it was maybe Krusty or another one of the bare vertical bulb growers who would screen the plants onto a vertical frame that they had built onto a plywood dolly that the plant pot would sit on. The plants would get trained out into a screen maybe two feet wide, like a wall of ivy, and they used that technique to do a linear setup in their room instead of the traditional vert bulb circular setup, sort of a two-walled stadium grow. All the buds form on the light side of the screen and get full exposure. I wish I could remember who that was!

Was it @Ttystikk ?
Coz his vertical grow diary is one of the first ones I stumbled across on the internet…

Maybe it was some of the vertical stuff. I think you are describing Marlo’s Wall of Weed. Ichabod Crane with his vertical LED and PVC screens.

Yes! Thank you, that’s it exactly, Marlo’s thread Step Into The Arena is the one I saw many years ago and it set my mind on fire thinking about the possibilities of plant training and how to optimize a space for your grow equipment and style:

And probably this guide with some v-scrogging directions and pictures:

I am in reality headed towards a system sort of like @ReikoX but maybe one frame and screen for each plant, 18x18" so they fit well in my 4x4 in a 2x2 layout. Probably built onto a square of plywood and 2x4 as a base, with some rope handles so I can lift the whole plant and screen out for plant maintenance and tent cleaning.

And Ichabod Crane too, this was also one I was thinking of, damn you’re good Mr X:

I know that I’m far from the first person to say this, but your grow room is the cleanest and most comfortably space efficient one that I think I’ve seen. Really incredible work on the rebuild and redesign, I enjoy paging back through your project thread and getting ideas for my own future, thanks!

Ate my likes up… great job bro!!! I’ll need to go back farther… but nevertheless what I see already is very cool!! :green_heart: 🪴 :seedling: :herb:
I envy you guys :laughing:

I am thinking about stealing your idea of the pvc pipe racks around your plants :slight_smile:

A few days ago I noticed the left bed was starting to look a little bit more yellow than the other two beds. I thought, perhaps, it was due to there being two plants in that bed compared to the other two beds with only one each. I ended up checking that the Blumats were still working and the plant was getting water, they were fine.

This morning, I decided to check the light levels. The left bed is getting about 640 PPFD, while the center bed is only getting about 500 PPFD.

I also noticed a spike in temperature when I moved the sensor from the middle bed to the left bed. I will have to turn down that left driver a bit tomorrow. Hopefully that will help these plants not push themselves too hard.

Spent a little time messing with the light levels. First, I checked the wattage the drivers were pulling, they were all the same as I had previously set them. Next, I checked the three beds, from left to right I got 650, 540, and 546 PPFD. I dimmed down the 2700K lights on the left bed until it read about 550 PPFD. Finally, I tested the light levels at 50% (morning settings), from left to right I got 370, 335, 365.


The other thing I noticed was poor circulation on that side of the room. I ordered a second AC Infinity fan for the opposite corner and a new controller.
