I did a vert last run and it was awesome. Im running 2 600 vert in a 5x5x10. I have 15 diferant strains going all Indica dom. I noticed much bigger buds lower on the branch with better penetration

Just purchased a new hood to replace my old one. LOL
Still plan on going vertical sometime this year, but I have my harvests set up monthly at the moment and a tear-down just seems wrong when things are flowing so smoothly in my room.
Some of those dudes in the vert section really hit it out of the park though and I can't wait to join them.

It seems to be the answer for those with plant limits. Like me 
most gardens are differant. I had hard nugs all over genetics will play a role here. I got over 2oz from a 18" plant
certainly listening to my plants
look at the node spacing on this trainwreck...
two sides like this wont all fit on the floor at the same time...
it is for everyone... just like horizontal is for everyone... just different and higher yielding guaranteed.
It seems to be the answer for those with plant limits. Like me
actually the highest yielding gpw grows are high plant count vertical colosseums...
but yea works great for low numbers too...
^^^^ yea that
I'm always willing to try new things, and since I started with hoods, perhaps i'm just used to it, I found that vert bulbs made the plants to leggy.....and the buds fluffier.......
they need to be further from the bulb. what were your temps... humidity.. strain...
what was your set up like?
all im sayin is whenever a horizontal gardener finally gets vertical dialed they never go back its a different outlook at growing for sure though

When growing vert do you still trim the lower branches like you do growing horizontally?
When growing vert - instead of trimming the bottom (which won't get light in a horizontal grow because of the dense canopy above) - you trim the back sides of the plant (which won't get light in a vertical grow because the bulb is on the other side of the plant.)
If you have a small enough garden turning the pots is no big deal. the light that emits from the top and end of the bulb are pretty much useless. A Vertical bulb emits all of the light to the sides 360 deg it is hung much lower then Horizontal
