I wanna know if (2) 600's run vert will be good for a 4x8 tent? I'm losing some height due to a change to hydro soon and with the raptor hoods as well and then some distance to canopy well the tent is only 6.5 foot floor to ceiling so..........

I did one vert grow a long time ago and it was going well til I went away for too long and let the plants dry out and got some mold............but that was my only experience.

Wondering if this is the answer to my dilemma and I have never used cool tubes either? One sixer over each 4x4 or double stack them in the middle and make a half circle around them with each tray etc......?

Thanks COF hopefully @DST chimes in

Vertical girls.
Got the 600 and the 315 vegging them. With a split in the lighting. 315 comes on then the 600 for most of the day then back to the 315 only for the last few hours of the evening. Pic is with the 315 on.

How's it going DST can you elaborate more on this setup? I was told you may be able to help me with a lighting dilemma......

Thanks

Is this the 600w hps thread? :bigjoint:

I have only grown with hps and i say its a good lightsource if looking for big buds.

curious old fart · Apr 16, 2018

It's the 600 thread where you will find growers with all kind and wattage of light systems.
I'm using 2 mh and 1 hps in the bloom room and led shop lights in the veg room.

:peace:

hey bru. so my cabinet is 1.2m squared and 2.67m high. Although i only probably use around 2.3m of the height. I have a 10inch filter (sits on floor) and an 8inch fan pulling through the filter and blowing up through 8 inch cool tubes across the lights (then up and out through the exhaust at the top of the cab). I then have 3 fans placed around the floor and hanging from the sealing for air movement. I have a 5inch ducting fan pulling air in from outside. The 315 on top. 600 below. Best i have got from this is around 1g/w. In the same space with 2 6s i also got 1g/w best run. I have yet to do a 100% hassle free grow with the 315 and the 600 so I am hoping for a larger gpw figure at some point in the not so distant future.
I normally run 4 or 5 plants and have tomato netting around the walls to tie back to. i find the plant weight brings them forward so i dont get to anal about gaps behind plants for air flow. if i can think of anything else I'll let you know. Or feel free to ask away.....

Vert grows are additionally stressful for plants, it's why 99% of vert grows plants look like absolute shit especially at the end.

As far as i believe its C99. Its a clone that i got way back when i joined RUI almost 10 yrs ago. It was before Pineapple express, Pineapple chunk or any others came about. Its a BIG producer with really nice Pineapple/Tropical fruit flav. Not citrus/lemony, sweet Pineapple all the way.

Basically trying to tell you it's a bad growing technique ,but good luck if you'd like to learn the hard way.

I think you have been looking at bad growers doing bad vertical grows. But hey, everyones correct!

I find that producing between 28 and 35 oz is much preferable to producing 17 oz in a horizontal grow in the same footprint, but hey, what would I know.

SheldonCooper · Apr 17, 2018

Evil... I have tried grow vertical a couple of times. Sure, I got 1gpw (bulb size) on my first try but I wouldn't try it again after doing grows in a sog/scrog style.
A flat canopy with big buds takes you a long way, and a lot easier to maintain it aswell.

Going to edit this one

( but everyone has it own ways of getting a big yields - what works for you may not work for another and vice verse )
