A vertical 1000w chm surrounded by 4 hlg 600diy v2 r spec... I want to add the spectrum to the room as indirect lighting over 4 4x4 trays with 24 plants and let the walls without right angles covered in orca film do the rest...

If you plan to incorporate a vertical hanging HID between the other lights I would recommend hanging it as high as possible. Also best to have taller plants to the outside of the garden. Depending on the size of the room and your height light won't get through if the taller plants are closest to the HID. It will still provide light but at a highly diminished amount overall.
That looks like a dream of a fixture. Luxx is coming out with a double ended 1k mh bulb, I believe. I am thinking spread the horizontal 1k hps out to 8 foot centers and run these every 5 feet down the aisle.

Ya that will work. Get a DE 1kw 3k-r CMH bulb.. You will aslo need a shield. DE CMH bulbs are not rated for open fixture use. I ant tell if it has glass.. You should make sure its good for 1kw bulbs. All I see is DE 630w CMH. If its good for 1kw MH should be good for CMH as well.

Gonna throw my 2 centavos in since that`s most likely all it`s worth but......Take it from an old fart that never ran a horizontal reflector in his life with ONLY bare bulbs hangin…..There`s absolutely no reason whatsoever ta hang a vertical bulb in that setup where the hood in the middle is cuz the plants directly beneath said future vertical reflector will never benefit from any light from it cuz all vert lamps shoot sideways not down darlin , although overlap from the HLG`s on each side will help.....but.....
Watts per sq ft will indeed be increased by the 1000 watt vertical reflector , although I`m not so sure about equal light spread in the room since the walls are so far away from said middle vertical fixture , and the orca film can only do so much reflectivity....Hell.....
I don`t see anything you`re doin wrong except obsessin over wantin more , more, and more , but I digress.....Aspen....throw a couple of Icky`s lights or couple more HLG`s and squeeze 3 more plants into the canopy for whatever it takes to give even spread and appropriate depth penetration over those extra 3 or 6 plants in the future and be happy....now.....
Your garden looks as good as 1 I`ve seen for a flat grow , and if you wanna grow big plants with vertical hung bulbs , I`m your guy.....but you know it takes increased vegtime to do so and that takes dedicated area to do so as well , so I say keep doin what you`re doin and be happy....although there`s nothin wrong with wanting more for you and yours.......aight.....wake n bake over.....
Peace.....DHF.....

DHF your Awesome.. And your two cents are priceless in this thread...
I'm very happy with my grow... Always learning always as in everything I do striving for perfection... Reguardless of what it takes... I don't want more... I've been struggling for 5 years almost 6 to accomplish something Dan was convinced would be a good thing for me to do... Be a grower in charge of my own future... Instead of working for an Abusive boss like I was doing when we met... It was two years before I tried my hand at flowering.. 5 flower runs later and 3 years struggling .. Ill admit it... I'm fucking Obssessed with this grow... I'm determined to have a preputial grow... Nothing more or less than Dan had planned for me... Nothing huge... All of the flowering will fit in a 10.5x22 foot room... My last harvest allowed me to upgrade focusing on quality... Now I have a very high standard of quality... My last harvest was my first real all around success... First time in almost 6 years I've seen a profit... Sales were a huge issue and I take that slow and careful... Always Carful.. I never knew... Why Dan wanted this for me but I had faith in him... Now I know.. I can grow out of a wheelchair I won't be on disability... I won't be begging... Its not about more more more my friend... Its about having things set up and going before I loose my legs... And I love this... Love the plants... Love the people involved... And ill admit... I'm obsessed with having what Dan wanted for me before I loose the ability to walk... I've been patient but now its my time to have a prepuituial grow... And I don't have 5 years left in my legs... My last harvest allowed me to do something I'm personally very proud of... I was Able to kick almost 5k directly back into the community... And that's my biggest success... Because if I can help my Brothers and Sisters in GREEN.... That's the good shit... That's when you come full circle... That's when your a real grower... When you give back to the people that helped get you here... Life Doesn't get any Better than that...
Whats your middle light? 315cmh? What are your dimensions? Can you put the bulb on a simple hanging socket and add a fan? I run 1k hps vertical with a big fan( wind tunnel)? blowing major from right under it, but I know you have your table there a wall mount facing it and not oscillating may work. I think your inner plants would benefit as it looks like having it horizontal is not getting you max coverage.
A wise man once said, "Use what you've got".
I'm using what I got... Lol that's a 630w cmh... The space is 10.5 x 5 x 8... I have more light than is needed to the pointThat 2x4 has an elbow in it at the very least.. More like 1.3 to 1.6 based on past grows.. Ill be removing the center tray and starting a tray every 3 weeks... I've just turned my veg and clone area loose... Meaning... Ill have the plant numbers to drop 4 to 6 plants in the flower room every 2 - 3 weeks on a 12 week perpuitual.. Starting with 4 4x4 trays and SCROGS... I'm filling this space and doing it the way I was tought... This space represents half of (TheDanPlan) in a single sealed space... And it won't get any larger... I couldn't maintain anything more complex honestly... And I'm doubtful that ill have every system in the room going at the same time... Total of six very well done trays of pot... I hope... Maybe... LMAO that's the idea anyhow...Dumb Blonde Shit Occurs Around me...Under 10 lights and 35k BTU AC and a Quest...
I have serious doubts that these plants will go 12 weeks... My room is so much better... The tops are laying over and frost it everywhere... Without any stress or bulshit these 15 ladies are just going off.. Time to break out the digital microscope and have a look... Today is Day 48... And finally I've learned... ENVORMENT is everything

Lol.... Lurkers... If y'all ever have any questions... Don't be afraid to post up... Your flowers can look as good or better than mine... I'm here to help aspiring growers reach there potential.... Anyone can have these results and better...
I'd put new plants in that middle spot and finish outwards. That netting an issue to moving them around though.
If youre moving from one n done to perpetual gotta be ready to change your game. Innovate. Are those tables on wheels if so then disregard netting comment. You got this.
The SCROGS are no trouble... I could pull a single plant at anytime if needed... No one else makes a more Versital Scrog... Its not netting its 550 chord and its under tension... Meaning I can adjust every hole size and also unthread either the vertical or horizontal lines... Also don't forget unlike most grows my 4x4 and 2x2 trays roll... I can put them anywhere in the room... Its gonna be big... Big for me... But this is my last solo run... Ill be harvesting a 4x4 every 3 weeks to keep up with local demand.... like clockwork...
Ill start flushing this weekend the amber tricombs are popping out everywhere... 14 days on RO and its on...

This happens every year... The tourist for the most part go home and the locals take back the beach bars... The dive season is over the gulf is about 60 degrees and cooling... Now I can focus on growing... 4 months in the garden is going to be real nice... I'm not chasing down the end of the public dive season this year... Just letting other boat crews do there thing... Because I have a whole nother thing.... Its time to GROW...

‘‘Tis the season, there is one thing money can’t buy anyone and that’s more grow time. There are a limited number of runs so best make the most of them. I have been looking forward to this winter my whole life.
