    I don't know much about vertical as i just recently though of the idea independently just to find out others beat me to it.
    Basically you bet a HPS and you surround it with plants to make most of the radiating light from it... imagine a revolvers magazine with the central axis being the HPS and the bullets being the plants.
    I'm certain a cooltube is a must for a very powerful HPS, and hps might work with only a 150cfm fan blowing on it. but a 400w might need serious cooling.
    correct me if i'm wrong
    150w hps + 20w CFL 3 plants ... fuck the police

    You don't want to "go vertical" then.. you just want to use your bulbs vertically as side lighting.. different thing all together. sorry, no help.

    I have no real experience of this, although my latest project is a mini 250w 'U-scrog', basically half a vertical grow but horizontal! From what I have read the major advantages are a) No loss of light through reflection and b) minimal cooling needed due to a small fan being placed underneath the bulb and extraction from above, taking advantage of the fact that heat rises.
    The disadvantage is that they seem complicated to set up, needing different 'levels' of plants (see Heath robinsons grow).
    Somewhere on the internet is a chart showing ideal distances for different lights in a vertical setup. A vertical scrog seems ideal to me.
    Everything written on here is a figment of my over-active imagination caused by mental health problems due to low THC levels in my brain. All pictures are posted by a mysterious stranger who hacks into my PC when I'm not looking. I'm not even sure I am real.
