I vegged 18/6 for the past 3 weeks on the Lucas formula and roots accelerator. I dont change my res for the whole cycle and stop adding nutes 2 weeks up until harvest.
Day 2 of flower:

Interesting setup, I've never seen one like that before. Kind of looks like a vertical SOG. Then again, I don't grow hydro so don't pay a lot of attention. How many plants total?

That looks kick arse. Can you give us a few more pictures. where are your lights situated to the plants, in the middle or something? Give us a picture further back if you can. cheers.

I just checked out their website. that looks pretty cool. A unit like that is about $1700 plus about $320 for a 60" light, so if you can hit your 4 pound mark its payed for. You could quite easily build one out of pvc you'd just have to buy the vertical light. How tall is it to the highest level?
keep us updated.

plants are oriented around the cool tube with no reflector, just 360 degrees of green

damn i cant post pictures because my rating. forums loss.
Day 10 of flower. Ive been using 1/4 tsp/gal chaching early flower enhancer to inhibit some of the stretch in conjunction with the lucas formula. If i feel that the phosphorous levels are getting a little out of hand ill prob drain the res in a few weeks and start fresh. I had my buddy clean up my garage and he ended up touching the cycle timer so plants got over watered for 2 days. My 5x5 hydrohut is on the left which i originally intended on housing the verticalharvests garden in but it got devoted to a cloning production so maybe next round after im situated outdoors.

day 23. everythings going cool. the chaching flower enhancer really helped the sativas calm down, and the buds are starting to stack.

Day 34, just got back from vegas and every things looking good. the DP's stink good, prob going to have to set up the mountain air filter pretty soon. Definitely have a good wall of buds going, spent about 30 minutes thinning out some of the larger fan leaves and lollipoping.
