Im still mapping out my first vertical grow setup.
It will look something like this-
http://i425.invalid.com/albums/pp336/Strawberryfileds/vertical.jpg
Thats 190cm wide
80cm high
90 cm deep(or less)
intake into cooltubes comes from under grow room, seperate to grow room air.
Grow room air will have incoming CO2 from beer barrels.
What im not sure about is how much room i should give the cooltubes and the pots from eachother.
Im using 200mm pots by 200mm height.
The cooltubes are 225mm.
The lamps are both 400 watt. (maybe use a 250 instead of one but now i have two 400 watt digi ballasts i think i will use.
I have 190cm width to play with.
This allows a row of plants all round the lights with a double row between the lights as shown in the diagram.
The cooltubes will be 90cm apart, 45cm off the sides.
This leaves a 14cm gap between the pots and the cooltubes.
Is this enough?
I would also like to have a maximum of 80cm in vertical space, this way i can grow under my house or in other places where no one would expect there to be plants.
Do you think 14cm is enough room between cooltubes and plant tips?
Or should i narrow down the double row of plants in the middle to one row, therefore increasing the gaps around cooltubes.
Personally i think 14cm is enough from cooltube to area above pots, where plant tips will likely be.
