Is It Possible to Pull 2400g Off 2x600w???

Yea, those plants would have to be 16-20 ft. tall and about 8 ft. around EACH! LOL. Most people on here are getting 2-4 oz/plant indoors, but then again, one surly can try...
Damn somnbitch i like the sound of that 16-20 ft. plant yeah u might need more than 2 600w lights lolz but man what a sight that would be, hell i'll make that shit my christmas tree this year and hang decorations and lights on that bitch, then in when everyone else is putting their dried out dead trees on the street for the trash man I'd have a party and smoke that MOFO up.

I've been thinking of hanging 2 - 600w hps lamps verticaly with no hoods. Putting my plants in a circle around them. I just dont know what Ide do with all that heat. My air-cooled hoods work great for dispersing the heat outside. Would I just keep my a/c on high all the time? A higher electric bill would be worth 2gpw.
There are no major heat issues as long as you can exchange your air reasonably quickly, just like any other grow. Just blow the heat up with a fan below and exhaust from above. Reflectors can actually cause heat issues by trapping heat (that never happens here).

I think to do vertical with 1 or 2 lights you need to do it like that guy in the thread OGE put up. You gotta build at least a couple levels so you can get multiple plants around it and they are all tilted toward the inside. I bet you could do a pretty easy setup for soil. All you would have to do is build the racks for the plants to sit on. Probably could use a drip system to water them too.

I think doing a vertical set up would be awesome...but i bet going over your plant limit would also be quite easy. Building a few verticle grow setups could probably be pretty cheap also.

I'm already drawing up plans for a vertical soil grow on autoCad. 2 600w lights and a drip irrigation system. Basically takes up no room either.

+Rep for OGE. Thanks for sharing man. Heath Robinson is my new idol. Sorry about before man. Thought you were jumping on me for what happened in T&T. My bad. Much respect.

Thank you very much. I used a low yielding strain this run but I thought Ide get more than this. I had an extremely nice canopy.
I would need to harvest 44 ounces to get a gpw. Are you sure the equation is right? LOL
No problem bro. And you would need exactly 42.32 ounces to make 1gpw. You can definitely get your grow higher by doing a number of tweaks. There are a number of things that effect your yield e.g temperature, humidity, veg time, pot size, ensuring there is no stress and doing a number of training techniques.

I think it's like OGE said, 2gpw vertical is like 1gpw horizontal. I still really don't think it's possible to do it horizontally. The dude Heath's setup is about the most efficient way I have seen to grow. If someone could do 2gpw on a horizontal setup I would love to see that.

Yeaah its nearly impossible to do it horizontally but was surprised to see it be done vertically in Heaths thread. I am planning a vertical grow myself but not the Colosseum type ones just a normal horizontal grow but with multiple vertical lights at plant level instead

This is a more efficient growing style as well IMO. It is what I'm doing currently and my little mini trees have some tremendously big side buds (no topping).

A sativa strain would do great Like Blue Dream or super lemon haze very great yielders if your growing something from the Og or mendo,urkle(purp) orgin i wouldnt expect those great yields, Strain will definitely have to be considered no matter what condition, I grew super lemon haze got bout 23 Oz dry bud and a couple in shake n stuff, under same conditions i grew barely 13-15 oz dry off my gods gift and cheese, The ONLY other diffrence was i added a root enhancer on the SLH , but but i doubt the extra 10 0z came from that, its all about what the plant can put out on its own, the extra care makes it that much better:)

Yeaaah it just seems much more efficient compared to horizontal. Have you got any tips because I can't find any links relating to this specific technique usually its something like the Colosseum type. Also do you think you could have got a better yield by training it in any form rather then just letting it be?
And lol @ your name evil genius with 666 posts.

Oh yeah, I train my buds to maximize light. I know some folks rotate plants but I do not do that. Most of my bud sites on my plants (about 5ft tall the biggest I am growing a few varieties from seed so it's not all clones, clones makes it easier to get big yields) I have trained towards the light. There are some folks in the Vertical Forum that have various things going on, worth checking out.
