Thought I'd keep a picture log of my first coco grow here, it's also my first vertical grow so should be fun.
All I did was cut the reflector off with a hack saw attach some chains and hung the lamp up. Under the lamp is a 12" industrial fan blowing the heat up away from the bulb. Then I put some garden fencing about 16" diameter around the bulb, the buds will be weaved into the fencing to make a v-scrog type affair or they'll just rest on it so they don't grow into the bulb.
The strains are sativa dominant but I've already noticed they're stretching much less than they would under a horizontal bulb. Another advantage is the temps are much lower, before cutting the reflector off I was beginning to get temp problems with the changing weather but now I need to heat the room so can control it easier.
This is the first week of flowering btw
