600w HPS lighting for one big plant. Vert or Horiz ?

[Alcan]

Hey growers,
What does everyone think as the best use of a 600w hps cootube when growing just one big plant. Would it be better to hang the cooltube at an angle and not fully horizontal. Is this safe to do with a HPS cooltube ?......and any noticeable diff in yield results ...

I am growing a fairly big LA Choc female . She is now just 6 days since turning 12/12. Height of plant at turn was a little over 3ft.

thx

A good horizontal reflector will suit you just fine good luck .

Thanks for getting back to me .

So my present lamp placement is parallel to the floor . Lets say if I drop one end 45 degrees lower by using the ratchet on that end , will the bulb still operate as normal?.....no loss in intensity of anything like that ?...
I guess the big lady looks so healthy , trying to max yield as much as possible , since two of the other starters with here turned male . I see no def of any kind in her leaves or stems . Really hoping to get the 3oz mark or beyond with this lone female . Tonight I will take a pic, when lights go down, and post it.

Check out the detailed specs on your bulb for operating position. Many say something like +/-5 from horizontal, or vertical.
