for hps, but what about the mh conversion hanging there? notice much difference? you got floor fans under each lamp?
Cap... would u recomend running:( 600 verts , double 600 verts or 1000 verts) with 3 1k overhead in a 12x11x7 room with a settup using a hedge on each side of trees in the middle?
Thnx

Okay I just found this thread. I had been looking for it, others had told me you'd made it, but I just gleaned what I could from the other threads.
I didn't just rethink my setup, I'm rebuilding it! This whole wall o' dank idea is what pushed me into doing my light cylinder.
This thread tells me I am on the right track.
Any guesses, Cap, as to what two plants in a 4 foot tall by 4 foot diameter cylinder might do with 1kW?
yield wise? Depends on the strain but I would say a minimum of 1 potato should be your first target. I would veg them until they are about halfway up the cylinder if it were me. You coudl veg them to 24" in a separate room.
4 potatoes from that setup would be amazing. I wish you all the luck.
That's the stretch goal after things are super dialed in, and it may not be possible with one bulb. I aim to find out!
Two or three though, I think this is easy and very doable. On one bulb.
Alright Cap, so finally stumbled on this thread too and I think your idea of plants in the middle and walls on the side is the shit. Something like that would eliminate my problems wanting to run big kush bushes that may not yield as well in vert space. I know we talked before about my previous vert scrog set up and not being overly productive as I wanted.
Last time the set up was plants stacked on 2 tiers- about a week veg in room then flip but not overly giant. But by doing 2 rows of plants in a stadium and only having 1 row lights i definitely created problems. Plants too low had too much larf, plants above a certain height had too much larf, which only left buds that were low on some and high on others in the peak zone. Colas were solid but not near what I had gotten on vert tree grows. I definitely seeing doing a single row of plants trained/flipped upward into the screen leaving everything at perfect height for the bare bulbs. Heres a few pix of set up before- as you can see, plants were not near big enough to get weight, had 4k in there only got a lil over potato a light. Also ran into not having enough space between lights and plants. Casters or ability to move scrog/plants back slightly would be great.

Not that Im completely deterred from same set-up...obviously need bigger bushes etc, and from looking back at pix now not sure why i gave up so quick. lol. But lemme get this right and try to diagram a pic of what you are saying- lets say i had space for 3k vert down the middle.... x's being plants an O's being lights- you are talking about something like this? One plant on either end- one prob being movable... or walls being movable. And if lookin at 2 plants per vert could almost throw another couple plants in.

Like i was discussing in other thread, I'd need almost 1.25-1.5 to hit weight I would like using big trees and 4-5kw. Seems in a set up like this even hitting 1/2 potato on outside bushes will be 2per + those beasts in the middle to help push 3. I want to run big kushes/cookies/wifi's/OG's and 1/2 potato sound way more feasible than shooting for 1.5lb trees.
Might have to start bouncing ideas off ya...could maybe try this set up next round.
