Vertical growing is hanging your light vertically, instead of horizontally. The essence is that if you are restricted in your footprint size, then growing vertical opens up the footprint creating a larger canopy space to work with, as the light shines out and around like a lighthouse, not only down like in a normal "horizontal" set up. Look at the pictures in the thread and you will understand.....

I borrowed my light from my bro. A vert. 1000 watt mh. I was looking at it during my first grow and noticed the light was mostly just bouncing to the sides and not much was reflected down by the umbrella. Then I found this and whodat's thread. I'm loving this style of growing. Totally biting jigfresh's v-screen on 3 plants. I wish I could find more grow journals on bodhi's appy thunderfuck, the fuzz and blueberry hill. My v-screen plants are about 1/3 the height of the screen now, still in veg. I need to flip soon I'm running out of room in my 4x4.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm counting on some males and going to get an hps soon. It will be nice to get the utilities down a bit after flipping. Who am I kidding I'll probably run both lights. Lol

Hey y'all know how I dip... If any of yall even remember me (I'm lookin at you jig). Just wanted to announce to any of those who do recall my existence, I'm moving to WA to jump in on the I-502 industry, we're building our own facility already bought 3 lots and will be doing a pretty sick setup, I look forward to keeping yall and RIU in general posted with developments and pics as things proceed, it's a magical frickin journey and a major blessing to my life and my family.

I was asked to build a small grow by a friend and I started it yesterday. I miss vertical so bad I'm considering building him a vertical setup. So far I hung him a veg light and scoped out his ventilation options and he'd be good to go with a 4' diameter vert cage in soil with a 1K light. Only thing making me hesitate is I want to run the vertical one myself. We have enough equipment for two grows right now but only one A/C unit, one hood and one cooltube.

Lose both the cooltube and the hood, buy vertical socket cordsets for $30 apiece, a roll of mesh fencing from Home dePot for $35 and you're in business. AC shouldn't be necessary until hot weather hits in June. You have time for a run before then, which if it goes well would buy the second AC y'all need.
Halfway thru my first vertical experiment, I scrapped my horizontal room for good and never looked back.
Now I'm rebuilding my 4x4 silos (4' tall by 4' diameter) into Super Silos, with twice the light and twice the surface area.

I wasn't implying I was trying to set him up using a cool tube or a hood, just stating what equipment I have at my disposal for building two grows.His room WILL need AC if he runs anything bigger than a single flower light in an air cooled hood or tube. It, unfortunately, is the hottest room of his house and get's the afternoon sun on the windows. The veg light was raising the room temp about 5 degrees by itself.
I've capped off his house ventilation to the room and run a new exhaust using the original AC vent. Right now there's just a small fan exhausting into the attic space but it will be ducted to the gable vent on the side of the attic with a bigger exhaust fan cooling the light and blowing directly to the outside of the house.
We aren't going vertical in his house anyway because I want to run the vert grow in mine. I am hoping to do another vertical grow in my room before I tear it all down in about 6 months.
