This weekend im going to try an experiment, or at least its an experiment to me. Im going to make a series of panels and then secure my hydro clones in them and then tilt the panels up vertically and circle them all around one of my cool tubes and see if i can get them to grow straight out from a wall, i've seen this done but never got a chance to try it actually. It will just be somewhat small scale but i cant wait to build it. But as soon as i get it built i will get pics up of what it looks like, wish me luck.

I don't think the plants will grow straight out horizontally. They will grow towards the light some, but always up.
It will work and I've seen pictures of it done too, but not like how I read what you said. :P

yeah i know what you mean but the light is going to be straight out so hopefully they will pretty much do that, but of course they will always be slightly upward tilting

Ok so I couldn't wait till Saturday so I went ahead and built the system today. It took me about 7 hours to hook it all up, I have a good feeling about this room and instead of using only one cool tube I installed two to help disperse the light better, haha if any of you havent yet noticed I have a lot of lights and thats the secret, thats the best variable to change from outside to inside hands down in my opinion.
Pic 1 - 3 of my slabs lined up
Pic 2 - Corner bracing for 3 more slabs
Pic 3 - All coming together now
Pic 4 - Feeding tubes for the plants
Pic 5 - Another shot of the feeding tubes
Pic 6 - The drain
Pic 7 - Cool tube extraction
Pic 8 - Cool tubes stacked
Pic 9 - Some nice slabs lined up
Pic 10 - The entire system set up and ready
Tomorrow morning im going to set up all my clones in them and i will post another couple pictures of my set up with clones and see how she starts doin

Oh heres a picture of the clones that are getting ready to go in there, they are C4 chronic cuttings all from the same mother and I have grown this bud 3 times before and they are very high yielders for me and also more bushy so thats why I chose them

Ok, sorry i couldn't get my pictures of my clones in the setup earlier but here they are at last, haha
Pic 1 - Here are the clones exposed and you can see just a bit of there beautiful mother in the corner.
Pic 2 - Ready and set up, looks kinda legit eh?
Pic 3 - And here they are after just about 20 hours under the veg system already pointing slightly up, very nice. How do plants act so fast, its amazing, I love it, haha

i seen a grow simalar to yours it was grown in a system called the collesium its a round cylinder about 6ft. round and 3ft. high but there stackable so hieght is limited to how high your cieling is it produced very well they only veged them for a week then on to 12/12 they ended up with each plant at
1ft. long single colas that wieghed about an oz. each.
but you do what i do i wont pay hundreds or thousands for a system rather i'll research how it works and make it myself you did a excellent job on that system its gonna work wonders for ya :cool:

Thats sounds like a good system though, the couple times I have seen it done the plants only vegged for a week or so too so thats what im going to do, and when I saw it done it was just like you said with about 1 foot plants and large colas, im going to switch it over to flower in 6 more days
