Can someone list some benefits of vertical growing?

This is a vertical tree grow.
Bulbs are hung vertically surrounding her .
This is how to get a large yield you have a top canopy and 4 side canopies and the light is so intense it gets to the middle of the plant .

This is my doctor G sea of LST which is a horizontal grow. IMG_20151218_045241.jpg

Hi people, tty love the supersilo, this is my leftover plants vert flower run.

I did a massive
White Rhino pheno hunt and I thought bugger it I'll keep the retards of the bunch, interesting to note I had 0 males from apparent reg seeds .
I'm talking 300 + seeds, spun me out, any way the plants on the outsides are the last of them and in the middle is 2 big from the start, just dropped in 4 x600w hps, should get the job doneIMG_20160103_030133.jpg

Dr. G, about the reg coming out females, same thing happened to me while growing a mixed crop. All the reg came out female while most of the chronic bagseed I've planted has been hermaphroditic, generally due to the fact that only chronic plants that are hermaphrodites produce seeds, which in turn are genetically likely to also be hermaphrodites. The reason reg bagseed comes out mostly female is because Mexican cartels streamlined the growing of reg in warehouses, hiring skilled gardeners who were trained to find and erradicate any male plants, gradually causing the genetics of such plants to lean predominantly female.

Reading this thread because I'm running a "300w" LED pannel. Looking to upgrade, weighing out options between COB build and going MH/HPS vert.

Exactly ttystikk, I'm thinking the more light sources/lumens the better. HID lights have been producing weight for decades, but implementing some cooler, high-efficiency cob watts in addition to the HID seems the optimal setup right now.

Yep I'm trying to get some heliospectra leds to add to my garden, they have CPU programable light recipe's you can change for each strain

Was looking at those this afternoon, they look badass! I don't need a shit ton of watts or anything, not growing in a warehouse or anything currently, so it would be cool to find something like a Heliospectra but lower wattage and like a tenth of the price, lol

The heliospectra are costly at 1999, I'd pay 500 tops and that's it, I got 600w hps with ballast and brand new bulb for $50 last time and the most I usually would pay is 50 without bulb then go buy my own bulbs, I know that sounds like bullshit but it's not so these fucking led companies are really asking way to much to the point of pissing me right off

Still though if it's a panel the led lights running vert wouldn't give you 360 light like a bare bulb so say if your dropping bulbs between plants or doing a vert sog surrounding the bulb 360 with plants with leds you would need 4 panels ! Looks like hps is efficient after all if u want to be efficient you can
