What type MH bulbs are you running? Most of them don't like being run vertical and you generally have a short life on those if operated in a vertical position. Some MH bulbs are rated for "base up" operation and those are good to go.

The bulb will usually have an H for horizontal or V for vertical orientation in the part number on the lamp itself.

Great thread my friend!
This whole vert idea is bringing questions to my mind.

After going thru everything you have, all this time $ and energy.

Do the results may off in the end doing a vert grow like this?

I’m definitely looking further into this

Vertical grows increase yield per square foot of FLOOR SPACE, the canopy stats remain the same in terms of yield per square foot and lighting requirements.

My 860W CDM lamps were vertical only, base up or down. It's very important to double check the required orientation of the lamp you want to use.

LED lights don't care as long as they're kept cool.
