How are you going to light the other 56 plants?
FWIW, fully agree with sfzoo and there are better ways (IMO) to get light to the back row other than using a reflector.
EDIT: If you are set on using reflectors, I'd recommend going with something with a little better coverage than cooltubes.
Just my $.02.
DOUBLE EDIT: Not a hater at all bro, but you are acting like an immature baby - learn how to take some constructive criticism.
You're running a tilted flat garden (making it much more complex than it needs to be) solely for the sake (as far as I can tell) of being able to mistakenly call it a "vertical" garden - it's not.
In doing so, you're missing out on the light overlap you could be getting from 4 600s, and have expressly made the point that you want the light to only illuminate one side :doh
I'm not a hater, but you are a jackass - I'm unsubbing now, good luck on your grow.
Damn bro.. Hang those 4 lights down the middle, bare bulb. And scoot those flat-stadium's in tight to the 4 lights going down the middle. Guarenteed to yield more..
Either way, im sitting in to watch, but i think you will find hanging your bulbs vertical in a 'vertical' grow will make more sense and yield far more.
good idea. nice set-up there vertigrow
also i dont think bobby was being a hater he had some good points
Nice set up, I think your last row would be to far if you hang them vert. Id do what your doing, get it going and think about what you what to change next time, based on what happen this time.
I have to nicely disagree.
Vertical means vertical, if I put the lights on the ground it would still be a vertical system.......vertical does not mean using both sides of a bulb. It is how your plants are placed.
]I do agree about the incline though, My system was made like for a reason, and it is a vertical system(there are lots of different vertical systems out there).
I'M also hanging my lights at an angle so each row is about the same distance away from the reflector( NO TOP RACK LIGHT SHORTAGES)
Right, vertical means vertical. But, i guess my question is, what is the reason for the racks? why the stadium?
I ask because you are getting the exact same light penetration as a flat garden would. Thus, eliminating any advantage you'll be gaining from the stadium. Further, by pointing 2 tubes to each side, you are probably losing some w/sqft. If those 4 tubes were in a flat garden you'll benefit by having the footprint of each tube overlap somewhat.
you are right, there are plenty of vert systems out there. But, the vast majority of them aren't using reflectors. Most who use reflectors are in flat gardens where the loss of light upwards is a waste. The concept of hanging either bare bulbs or tubes with no reflectors is that there will be no loss of light via reflector(no matter how you cut the cake, the reflector WILL have a diminishing effect ).
Hope you don't mind me posting in your thread. Not hating, just curious and offering my opinion. :passingjoint:
nice bro
i gotta give it to ya that turned out a lot better than i thought it would

+1dont put the lights back, get some more pvc and raise the back rows. make it more like a wall
