i don't know how i missed this thread bro but i did.
anyway, now i've found it i'm gonna go back and read it but i wanted to say i'm glad you escaped your security concerns and managed to save some of your genetics too, kudos brother.
great job Im also using 2 600 in a vertical grow. Im not stacking the bulbs though there side by side to cover a wider area. I have room for 10 plants. This run im only doing 7. I love the results im getting since converting over to vertical.
