I was woundering if anyone had a link to a kind of vertical for dummies thread. I have a room growing flat that is 5x8x7tall and was thinking of a three sided vertical grow.I'd have at the max 25-30 plants on three walls being 2 @ 6' and a 3' at the end. What i wanted to know was some of the basics.
How far does the light need to be from the plants?
is it better to run a cool tube or bare bulb?
will 5 feet total be enough width for a 2 teir setup?
how far apart should the plants be placed side to side and between shelves?
Will a "U" shaped design screw up the vertical design I understand i'll loose out on plant area but is there any other downfalls?
And yes i knowthere are many factors that determine some of the answers, just looking for some guidlines to start from. Cheers![Big Joint :bigjoint: :bigjoint:](/styles/smilies/smoking.gif)
