Nothing pleases me more than helping a dedicated grower get better at their craft, don't worry about asking me questions!

I'd try it bare first, with a box fan aimed directly upwards. Run it on low speed, it's just there to help the air rise and carry excess heat away. You might even remove the top of the tent if you can.

How many plants would you run in a 4x4 say?

Also sorry to the OP. Didn't mean to hack your thread. But I was blown away by these vert plants and I've always wanted to go vert, I think the time is here.

I am about to be setting my 4 fr octagon back up and I will have only 2 plants this time. I have ran as many as 45 2 gallon plants in a 4 X 4 foot print.

I'd run four plants in a 4x4, one each for the four walls. You might start with a donut style; three foot tall plants surrounding one vertical lamp in a bare fixture.

Cheers man. Yeah I think I'm going to give this a go!! Do you top your clones when you are veging or just let them reach for the sky

How's it coming? I'm upgrading mine with a dual circuit chiller to provide hot n cold running water and 4800W of COB LED. Gonna be shooting for over two a plant!

Lol, never completed it. I'm going to do a lot of pheno hunting first, got a boat load of beans I need to run first, using that room to veg in at the moment.
Good luck with your upgrade bro, sounds awesome

Top them once they have gotten at least half as tall as the trellis you're using.

Sweet. When I move them in to the flower tent from horizontally. Should I give them a further week to get used to the vertical light? I imagine half the plant has to move itself on to the screen if your grew behind it, or if you had them placed in front if the screen/trellis would you need to twisty tie them back to the screen?

You certainly can if you think it's necessary.

One thing to reduce the amount of time needed to train... if the screen is between the plant and bulb you can simply pull branches through the screen to position them. Then after a day or two, you can pull them back.

One plant, 4 plants, 20 plants per bulb.... doesn't matter, it's all about veg time.

The plants we just put in flower were fucking HUGE.. 5 feet tall. In order to keep then all the same height and maximize screen space is we did what I called "the tornado". Essentially instead of the plant branches being pulled directly to the screen, we twisted them horizontally and then trained them to the side of the screen. Meaning if you were staring at one side of the screen (12 oclock) and there was a big ass branch, we would grab it, bend it and curve it around until it was on the face of the screen next to it (3 oclock).

Imagine holding all the branches in place and then twisting the pot 90 or 120 degrees.

Nice even wall.of weed, that's what you be wanting.

Pics, for a visual aid? I've been wondering how you do it there, your setup is different than mine.

These are big yields but I must question how long you need to veg to make this possible?
