5x5 Vero29 Tent Setup

OrganicGorilla · Jul 31, 2015

Hey everyone. Just looking for some opinions.
I'm setting up a 5x5 tent with 4 x 5 gallon DWC buckets and 8 x Vero29(A51 units).
I'm wondering if I should hang 2 units directly above each plant for the best coverage, or should I hang all 8 together directly in the middle of tent? I'm thinking 2 above each.

2 above each, no question. Let see a pic once you get it set up!

I'm patiently waiting the arrival of the pre order but I definitely will post once it's all set!

Space each unit in the 5x5

I think another 8 and the switch would really turn on!!

Why 9 as was discussed in the A51 thread?

Although that'd probably be the best coverage, that'd be a nightmare to move them all up don't you think?

I have 10 units coming. Should I use 9 in the 5x5? I was planning on using 2 units to veg 4 plants in one tent and 8 units to bud 4 plants in other tent.

If I were to setep a 5x5 with w90s? I would set a unit in every 20in x 20in box in the 5x5= 9 units and I wouldn't care about the 9 sets ratchets. Thats what I would do ,but there is no right way! Tons dif ways to do it.

So basically, 9 units and I'd totally maximize my 5x5 area if I space them each at 20"x20"? Makes sense! I think the extra screwing around with more ratchet hangers may be worth it in the end.
On a side note, do you think I'd have room for 5 plants in the 5x5? One in each corner and one in the middle? I'll be flowering at 24" with each plant topped twice.

what would the overall length and width if they were bolted together? actually the more I think about it? I would bolt them together in 2s and then space the 180watt panels out! yep now u just gotta figure out if 8 or 10 will be what cha need?

You've got plenty of room for 5 in there. I'm running 6 plus whatever clones I don't use in small pots scattered around in my 5x5 and I will be going to 9 flowered a bit earlier

Or you could take the TGA quadrant monster approach with 4 if you find the cobs have the balls to carry that large of a plant

Where would that 9th panel go?

So you think I can get away with 8 in the 5x5? It's a tough decision, I'm racking my brain over this. Hard to know until I have the units here lol.

9 works well in a square
3 rows of three

I agree 3 rows 3 will do it the best . 9 sets of rachets is the only thing gonna keep pepes from doin it?

I've though about doing 9 also, but I have 8-9 weeks to veg clones in the veg tent until the other tent is ready to bud them. I think 6 for my situation would be pushing it

3 in each row connected? Thatd be 3 ratchets and a lot easier

There are bunch ways do it. probably wont figure it out till ya start doin it?

OrganicGorilla · Jul 31, 2015

So many options with these new Vero29v2!! Good situation to be in!

OrganicGorilla · Jul 31, 2015

Maybe I can make my own brackets so that all 9 units are connected, spaced at 20"x20" and only use 1 ratchet?
