This year for my Fall and Winter grow I want to try Vertical. Ive been wanting to try since last year but just never did it. I have a 1000W and two 600w mh/hps with Air Cool Hood. My question is How do you control heat build up? I normally had my Carbon filter fan combo running from the outside of the tent to the inside hooked up to my Air cool hood sucking air that killed smell and heat. Also what do you guys use to hang you lights? I Also thought about using One 600w the regular way in the Cool Hood and using my 2nd 600W Vertically to get deeper light into and under the buds.

all i have is a 600 watt and a 400 watt hps hung above a honeywell fan blowin the hot air up then my filter fan sucks it up my ambient room temps went way down switching to barebulb vert which caused everything else to be cooled aswell my day temps are 74-77 and night temps 70-75

Thats Perfect temp. Gotcha now Im suppose to have my fan filter combo sucking air from the top of the tent and a fan blowing straight up under the light in the middle of the tent?

That is the idea. The fan blowing upward moving the hot air from the bulbs to the top where it is exhausted.
It is also a help if you have the fresh cool air coming in at the bottom near this lower fan.
If you have SGROG'ed horizontally before, than all is the same just the screen is vertically.

i have seen so many vertical grows that look garbage imo, if you do truly want to go vert then i suggest you ask dst, he is a pretty patient guy so long as you are polite.

his is the best small scale vert grow i have seen on here, he multistrains yet still gets massive yields and multiple cycles per year.

come on club 600 and ask away or maybe go to his thread, you won't go far wrong if you follow his direction.
