Go vertical then. How much height do you have? I am growing in 1.2m footprint and doubling that yield.

i second that, i would defo have a go at one of those stadium type grows or even vertical shelving if i only had a small space. i honestly think a perpetual grow would suit you better if you could make it work with acquiring clones when you need them.

was up wil 6 chopping a big gringo and an exo, gringo seems well better than last time, hope it comes out as good as it looks now.

the big fireballs #1 i chopped las tweek give me over 10 oz but the biggest cola is not even the thickness of my thumb which is far from ideal, it's a bit too heavy for daytime smoke too and possibly even night time cause i struggle to get up the morning after smoking it, we'll find a use for it though lol. i will be running it again in the hopes of having sensible sized indoor plants, this might help thicken up the buds a bit.

0.9m W x 1.1M Dx 2m(ish) H

Was thinking of making it twin level with COB LED`s rather than vertical with HPS etc as HPS is a bugger in summer for heat

Yerrrs still living the dream here gents

Vertical bare bulb runs cooler than regular cooltubed mate.

By a shitload in fact.



I'm running 2 x 600w vertical bare bulbs in a 2.4 x 1.2 x 2m tent with the plants less than 12 inches from the bulbs.

The heat rises up and away from the plants, in cooltubes/coolhoods the heat is reflected down onto the plants with extra heat being radiated from the metal cooltube/hood.

This next round I'm going for 3 x 600w vertical bare bulbs in the same tent.

Have enough fresh air exchange and enough airflow and you should be fine, and you'll get a better yield from vert bare rather than regular hooded as it's a more efficient use of light.

that's not bad off a 600 with your airflow heat issues man, u could up the watts but gotta cool the fukker for it to b worth it man, a perp will yield you less but more frequently

I was talking about growing vertically. Not just hanging the bulbs vertically. I use cool tubes in a vertical grow and there is no metal reflectors needed as they are vertical. I have been thinking of getting rid of the tubes....more for the noise they make.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

I'm planning on setting up some racking inside my tent and having it 2 levels with 4 x 600w vertical bare bulbs.

If I've worked it out right 48 hydro plants over 2 levels being lit evenly by 4 vertical bare 600w HPS bulbs.

5oz a pop is 240oz a run, that's £39.000 ish in Yorkie money.



I reckon it's doable.

 

[zeddd]

I used to use vert bare bulbs but fukked my eyes in 12 months so go careful man

Eh?

So what's your definition of vertical growing then?

I need some shades fast, I tend to just stick my head in the tent some times.

Not good.

It blinds me for a good few min man and I think dst means he uses vertical netting and ties to it in a circle around the bulb

 

[ghb]

i go in my grow room at the very earliest 1am some times coming out ot 5-6 am to go home to bed, it can take me 2-3 hours before i'm ready to sleep because i stilll see the lights when i close my eyes lol.

it's not easy this growing lark

Proper spat his dummy that Dan ain't he lmao some people

 

[zeddd]

well lets us know the growers from the show ers imo

 

[DST]

Utilising the vertical space of your grow area to create a canopy based on the wall dimensions and not the floor foot print.
In your first post you just mentioned hanging the bulbs vertically. Hence why I clarified what I was talking about.
Having multiple shelves as you go on to mention in your following post is vertical growing in my eyes as well. Just my opinion though.
