Vertical coco gutter's/ Round 1 disaster.

Hello everyone from the vertical section. This is the room I built in January. I decided to switch from horizontal to vertical mainly to try to increase my gpw. I've done a few vertical donuts in the past but I decided to try something different. I was supposed to get new gavita 1000w de hps lights but unfortunately due to budget cuts those have to wait for now. I was also suposed to put together a rdwc system for my plants so these clones we're vegged in dwc totes in 3" net pots... A complete change of plans probably not the best decision to go from dwc to coco...
