Hello!!!!!

ive been bouncing the idea around in my head for some time now and soon ill be ready to bring some clones in under my 1000hps
i have plenty of room
i have a cheapo batwing hood right now and im getting a cool tube and i was wanting to run it vertical
nothing crazy all i want to run is my 1 1000


and i was wondering if anyone can hook me up with some links to some grows that are similar to my plans
or if you just have any suggestions or pictures to help me out

going vertical im not sure on finishing the room ....size....just flat out setting up for a vertical grow...

distance from light?

how many plants typically you can fit around one 1000 vert ?


or should i just ditch the idea and go with a flat grow?

Stay flat if you are just starting, get a feel for the girls, then when you feel it, try vert.

place fan (facing ceiling) directly under light on milk crate/bricks on side to aloow coller (lower) air to come through bottom of fan.
no cool tubes needed if using ac/excellent ventillation.
sunglasses needed for glare. plan layout w/ mainenanace in mind. hang light (off) and walk around in room, test ability to move around w/ vert light.
mh seems to get hotter than hps - but all heat rises. only difference in that w/ vert light (especially 1k), the heat will disperse laterally first. account for that and arrange/design air flow to go from ac/external venting source to fan on floor facing up+1-2' of perimeter area around bulb.
when mature the vegetables will lean into bulb - even when its a thousand degrees.
1-3' away at beginning, moving closer as time progresses. last few weeks can be @ 3-6". the other side of the plant (dark side) will be cooler. may also observe that the cooler side is growing/fruiting more than the lighted side. this is plant trying to disperse rec'd light evenly.

four to six tree veg'd for 3-6 weeks under floros - less veg time under same 1k. or do 3-4 wk veg w/ 1k and be prepared for 4-6 ' palms. vert light placement in ~ middle of height of plant(s) to get the guts (innards) of the plant (even total plant coverage). your canopy is the entire vertical (height-wise) plant - not just tops.

practice run w/ out vegetables+lights on for two-three days to see heat pattern. will get cooler further away from bulb. as veggies mature can endure more heat=closer.
important to reverese engineer from hvac standpoint (taking into account mandatory heat issues w/ indoor garden), then test run w/ out tomatoes, and THEN determine feasibility of any set up.

hey purpledomgoddes thanks for the input thats the exact kind of info im looking for
ive seen a couple setups that are pretty much exactly like you described

i had planned on using the cool tube to be my exhaust for the entire room

but with warm weather coming soon i will probably be running an air conditioner...trying to squeek out a harvest before summer comes....too hot...and my house sucks...no a/c

if anyone has some pictures or a link to a grow using just 1 1000watt vertical i would love to see them!!!
