Will follow along in this thread. Reason being im thinking over the idea of using my 2.5ft deep x 5ft length x 6ft high grow cab to grow some vertical and horizontal plants in scrogs. Currently using 4 x quantum boards which im running at 400watts on a horizontal scrog. So will have to consider some more leds, but I do not want to go above 600 watts of light. Anyone reckon it would work and produce good results. Indica dominant strains for horizontal and more dominant Sativa/Indica mix for the vertical. As I say just mulling it over atm no big rush. Could get by with two grows a year if it will work out.

I'd need a bit more fleshing out of the concept to give you any advice but so far it sounds plausible.

I'll start; I want to address the assumption that a vertical grow must be round in shape.

My own Super Silos were round, but only because of the nature of the HID light source. LED is generally much more directional, which renders the classic round or cylindrical shape unnecessary.

Therefore, I believe the new shape of vertical growing with LED lighting is flat panels. One immediate advantage is that flattening the panel reduces leaf shading substantially.

4x4x7'8" tent, 30 gallon fabric pot. Lighting is an HLG 600RSpec copy ( I DIY'd it from all HLG parts ) that will run at 480watts, it produces about 1100PPFD at this power level. I'll probably dial it back a bit, I don't want to run CO2.I have a 4'x5' section of handy panel, simialr to a cattle panel, I'll hang as a trellis. Medium will be soil fed Megacrop as I've been working with this combination for a couple years now and it works well. I'm undecided on what strain to try on my first attempt.


People are doing it. Tell us what you have in mind? I'll be happy to critique.
