Haven't posted in the vert section in a while. This was about 2 weeks ago......
So far, this round W.o.W. stands for working out well.....
ALL PICS ARE AT 34 DAYS.

This is the bottom of my DSD plant. 4 feet down from the top cola. Very respectable looking popcorn huh?

Nice looking garden as usual Marlo ! Just wanted to thank you for inspiring my garden design. I'm runnining 10'H Marlo screens with triple stacked 1000w.Works so well I'm adding 3 more rooms just like it.

Yep thats 10 feet tall.
Yea the step ladder thing may be the only bad thing about it.....if you'd call a 10' wall of buds a problem. Seriously tho I got 4.25 lb of ECSD from double stacked lights in the same room that is now triple stacked.Anything over that this time around is just icing on the cake for me since its only 4 plants. I only use 8' of the 10' screen, each plant uses 3.5' x 8' of screen. A little over 100 sq ft of canopy using a 36 sq ft. footprint. Brilliant concept imho.Thanks goes out to you , DHF and alot of others on here in the last couple years.

Cravenmore your vert is rocking! You need to give the vert forum a thread!
How many plants have you got around your bulb, and what is your floor space?

I'm all bare bulb vertical myself now.
After having set up a friend with a rock bottom budget I had to convert myself. 4k dropped vertical with a can 125 / MAX 10" fan. We do around 8-9 plants in a circle with a 1k dropped down in the middle...honeywell fan blowing straight up. Can run it year round with 10" exhaust keeping the main house central air pretty low. Doesnt get much more simple/easy then that. Add blumats and there aint much to do.
We also drop some Hilux 600w MH lamps around here and there...just a little more icing on the cake.
My only gripe is that the room is much harder to navigate. I'm like a spider monkey in there and cannot even attempt it unless its end of the day as I STINK after slipping around in there. Makes a trellised horizontal grow look like a cake walk in comparison... but eh.. I'm all for simple and larger yields..
Need to better secure my ladies however as things got a little tippy lately leading to some scorched tops.

I'm wanting to con-VERT and need some advice.. I have a 10'x10'x8' room to work in.. I have multiple 600's and 1k ballasts/bulbs.. I wanted to ask the vert pros how to best maximise this space?? How to set up the lights and plants.. I was thinking 5g smart pots.. Maybe crop circle style, tomatoe cages?? Thx for any input...
great thread.just starting verticle
If plant limits are not an issue, look at bobblehead's racks. (bobblehead overtakes)
Tons of smaller plants filling a space in a circle around a vertical column of light. With a couple of 1000's and a 10x10 room you could put a 5' per side octagon holding a few hundred monocropped clones for the win.
Read lots of the stickies in the vert forum front to back. Ideas will come.

So i have been running vert for two rounds now and i am pretty happy with my results so far. The main thing that i am left wondering is what Sort of height will a 600 watt lamp cover?
I keep my plants 18 to 20 inches from the bare bulb but what sort of footprint (as in the height of the cylinder) will a 600 cover and still produce quality nugs and no larf?
