double vertical grow w/ light mover

[ironicchronic]

hello all, this is what im thinking about doing in my grow room in a few months. 2, 1000w hortilux eye super blues, on a light mover.

my thinking behind the second row of plants hung by chains, is so i can reduce veg time, instead of having the bottom row fill the screen. im thinking the cage will be 7' tall. would 2-3 weeks veg be enough for an indica?
Im not totally decided but im thinking the hydro method i'll use will be "Ebb N Gro"

please tell me what you think, and what kind of problems will arrise.

Hey bud... that is one wild idea. The one thing I think is that it's all so complex. Here's what I mean... if you built all that and things didn't go well, it would be hard to tell what is going wrong. I mean, you should get the version of hydro you are going to run down pat, so you know you can run that system well. I would also practise with screens. It's not very easy to fill a screen just right and not overgrow it hardcore. Plus with multi level plants it makes it more complicated.

I'm not trying to shut you down... I'd love to see this. But what I suggest is running a simplified version for a grow or two, building it so that expansion is easy. That way you can get shit dialed in, for when you want to go multi level plants, and a dual moving light deal. Like getting the temps of the space right, and humidity levels right. It tough dialing in a grow space.

Fucking crazy man.... I love it!

thanks for the reply jigfresh. Yeah after thinking about it more, and talking to some people, maybe i should'nt go ebb n gro. someone reccomended to me to just use coco/perlite. This would definatly come in handy on the top row, and it would be easier to hang.

but yeah i was planning to run a horizontal ebb n gro run before the verts go up. but i may just keep it simple with coco or somthing. The only thing im worrying is how do these methods yield in comparison? and are my only options drain to waste, and hempy buckets? the dripping could be a problem.....

i didnt know it was hard to fill a screen. ive seen so many pics i never thought it would be a problem. can you give me some pointers / common mistakes people make with screens?
