I'm moving shortly and will have a walk-in closet directly off of my bedroom (ie. no reason at all for anyone to ever find themselves back there). It has some very convenient shelving already in it, so I figure I'll try my hand at vertical growing.
I have roughly 5x6x7 to work with and a 600w digital light and a currently untested 1000w ballast. I figure I will swap them with something else to get a 1000w digital setup.
I am relatively unfamiliar with vertical grows and the theories that go along with them. I know the 'standard' plant limit for a 1000w horizontal grow is 16 per 4x4 area. That would equal out to 62.5w per plant. With a vertical grow though, do the same rules apply? For example, I could potentially have 50 plants, leaving only 20w per plant...?
I know that 2x1000w would be ideal, but I don't have that kind of hydro leniancy.
I will likely go through with my vertical plan in some shape or form regardless, so anyone with any vertical experience, please enlighten me.

At which point I'll get fired for being a little too stoned but I wouldn't give a damn because I'd be sitting on 100 oz of primo lol
