grow your plants around your light, rather than underneath it. it's called vertical.
then you'll be coming on here asking "how do I get 2 gpw?"
i think that people over hype-vertical yields. i get well over 1gpw consistently in a horizontal setup and i see the vert guys giving it the large one about their yields - but the actual numbers rarely live up to their hype.
case in point - the vert grow in your sig yielded 0.5 gpw - have your yields more than doubled since then ??
not trying to be a dick, but i think a well done horizontal grow can match up to a well done vert grow yield-wise.

I don't know if it's over hyped Verdant, but I think I get what you are saying all the same
The essential thing to remember with vertical growing is the space that is achieved... For instance, lighting a given area with with 1 x 600w bulb horizontally results in a 3'x3' or max 4'x4' grow space. Vertically you quadruple that.... So lets say for instance you have a 4x4' tent, hung horizontally you can fit squeeze 34 3.5L square pots on the floor.
You can hang the lamp vertically and fit nearly 100 3.5L square pots in that space huddled around the single 600. Now I understand this is all SOG stylee, but I'm sure you will see how this would apply to any style of growing... 4 x 3' space vs 1 x 3' space....
all good points , but there are things that mitigate the extra space - like buds having more of a blocking action to the light when coming from the side, buds taking more space in a vertical canopy than they do in horizontal. canopy area becoming smaller as the buds grow in. also reflected light is dispersed rather than being from a point source - which is very useful to the plant.
vertical is a totally valid way to grow, and some people do it very well
if going vert doubles your yields then that's great... but it also means that your weren't doing horizontal as well as you could.
