This won't be my first vert grow. However, this will be my first stealth grow. No, not some 250w stealth grow. 800w flower + 432w Mother/clone/veg separately. My issue I'm having here is the flower chamber.
My last vert grow was a 1,200w 3 tier octagon that was 4' in diameter.
However, I can not realistically build a 4' square armoire. And I do not want to go back to a more traditional, horizontal garden. I guess once you go vert, you never go back.
However my issue is this - most armoires are about 20" deep. I doubt this is enough space, I could easily extend that to 2', but I still believe that is too small to surround my bulbs with plants.
Basically I've been looking for size charts for vert growing. I need to know how small of a space I could use with 400w bulbs. I'm guessing 3' square. Maybe 30"? I'm just trying to figure out the depth of the cab I need to build to house 2 stacked vert 400w bulbs.
I'll make a separate cupboard housing a 4' 8 bulb T5HO to store some bonsai mums and clones. The clones will only veg a few days before going into flower, they'll be in small containers, 6" or 7" square pots (9" deep) for flower.
I think the vertical space I'll use will probably be about 40"-48"
Strain(s) will be chosen on SOG ability (main cola dominate with minimal branching)
