When you switched over to vertical, did you notice any differences in the density of the nugs, quality, size, yields in comparison to the flat garden?

Most definitely, denser buds all around (as opposed to just top and secondary colas flat) higher yield.

this for me too
What VGB said, hard buds all the way down branches = much better yields. Plants need to be staionary tho, no rotating.
true, definitely denser all the way down, but what do you guys think would yield more from a 2 plant dwc vegged for 3-4 weeks, an aircooled horiz 600whps scrog or a vertical bare 400cmh?
Im debating on going vertical, but dont want to lose yields with the smaller bulb. I can't go 600whps vertical because i wont be able to cool it or itll be a major pita. so 400 cmh vertical bare? or stick to the 600 hps horiz? this is for yield and efficiency, last buds were big, had some light burn though, but were very airy, id suppose that the vertical cmh might lose me a little yield but all buds would be much more frosty, potent, and denser.
What do you guys think though?

honestly there isnt alot of diff in heat between a 600 and 400
we are talking a few degrees and a few inches farther the plants have to be
also i wouldnt expect bigger thicker buds from the 400cmh compared to a good 600hps
though the 400 may be better than a standard mh and it is claimed has a better spectrum, you are losing alot of light there (600 hps = most efficient of all hids/400 = least efficient of all 400 and larger bulbs - 400, 600, 750, 1000)

I gotta say that this vertical shit you guys got going here is simply amazing! you are definitley onto something here!!
SuperConductor: what is wrong with rotating the plants? twisting/messing with the roots?
Dr happy: I used to tie down my outdoor plants until I realized the same thing you did. I think the suns movement over the arc of the earth mimicks vertical light and horizontal light over time by moving slowly up over and down. horizontal outdoor yeilds less as does horizontal indoor, so it would seem. (I have just now heard of vertical growing
)

Hey Col.Dijon, the reason it's said not to rotate the plants is due to phototropism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropism which means theplant uses a lot of energy to turn and face the light, energy that could be used making buds.
I've never done it myself but reports indicate rotating plants it leaves you with light fluffy buds. I've seen one person on here who claims it's better to rotate so maybe testing it out for yourself is a good option but I'll stick to keeping them still
