Now I'm confused. Last week I was advised not to veg vert.

So which is better, vegging vert or horizontal? Assuming you're going to flower vert

How do you verters veg vert? How do you position the bulbs for veg? Do you leave the tips of the bulbs at the top of the plant? Or do you drop the bulb so that the entire side of the plant is lit? Thanks guys
In order to answer this you have to know what you want your plants to look like going into flower.
I run something like a tree in flower. So with that said I want a plant that is not to bushy or to stretchy. Plants like diesels tend to stretch to much in veg for me and plants like AK-47 not enough.
So what I do is for the diesels is I hang a bare bulb to the side in veg. This slows he stretch and causes it to fill in more.
With short bushy plants I hang a bulb above the plant to cause it to stretch up more. This helps me reduce the amount of plant I remove in flower to get light to the inside of the plant.
With a grow that is more of a sog type grow you will keep the light as close to the plant as possible to stack nods closer together. This is done with a over head hood or a bulb to the side of the plant. This is all guess work from other posts as I do not run sog type grow. To many plants for my legal number.

This is how I veg until big enough to justify having one plant to the side of a bulb.
I use something similar to Sheik's set up. When I want a plant to stretch I place it on the bottom and when I want it to stay compact I place it up on a shelf.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but not everyone see's what's really there.
When you ask how do I veg without considering what type of not only plant, strain, but phenotype you are growin, how the hell would anyone know? Every seed is different. My very first grow I grew a Northern Lights strain that was said to be indica dominant and it stretched more than all my hybrids... I hated the high I got from that strain, so I tried growing some other strains until I found what I like. Once ya find a strain ya like, you can find a phenotype that gives ya a good high and one that will produce well with your way of growing. Maybe that's all your after, but if you got plans in the future to grow in a different environment...take another look at that picture.
Maybe all those plants are clones of one that was selected and having them arranged in different locations... where they receive different amounts of light at different heights... is a way of finding out how that particular plant prefers how to be vegged/grow...So, instead of thinking you how you should veg, ya gotta accept plants do what they do and we can only have so much control over them such as placing them in a location and arranging lights..

Always vegging horizontal. Vert really pays of in flower end of stretch if you can fill the canopy.
