{EDIT: this thread has been update'd with newer pic's as i deleted most when OG went down!!!}
so i have not seen much info on vertical around.....
me & a few ppl where talking about this in chat!
now we have a thread for are style of grower's....
i was going to put this in the hydro but i have seen soil grower's use vertical style!......
it's just a way to get the best gram per watt hands down.....
the only way to max your 1k 6hundy or that 4double0...


i have not had a chance to play with a 400.......
i work with 600's n 1k's....mostly we see 300 plant coli's or omaga's.... i have yet to build sum sort of system but am working on it... untell then i run colisum's.... but just sum fyi u dont have to run 300 plants to use this style!
i dont like playing with the fed's....... i stay legal ( medical 215 )

3 mini mod 60 site's coli's 2k hps

Hope you get much success!

Just curious but would you normally use a reflector for that kind of setup?

Nice sticky icky buds there man..
i work that out to 1.6 gram per watt (goin by the 600hps) which is pretty impressive..i been thinkin bout makin one specially since the hemp expo, they had alot of diff ones there..some using coco grow slabs...looks easy enough to make to me.if you can show me 2 gpw..then i will defo be convinced...peace

Interesting setup. Seems to take up a lot of space to me. I'm sure it efficient in terms of grams/watt though.

Click to expand...

it takes up 6 foot by 6 foot..... but u can stack to the roof. even with out that im still pulling more per watt.....

i was running 2k ( 6 x 9 x 9 )
im a med user & have plant limit's going for 3/4-1 oz a plant x 90 this round
