Are there many of us???

I look at the number of discussions / messages and the vert section has fuck all compared to the others.

I'm only two weeks in my first vert flower run and I don't see myself going back to horizontal grows.

I just wonder why others haven't jumped on the band wagon

That's a great question.
Since governments are so concerned with the number of root systems we possess vertical growing makes doubly more sense. I'm considering it myself, but I need to get to a friendly state and buy a home first. I can't, and don't want to, do the modifications I want to a rental.
I lurk here a lot, maybe it is just too much thought and work for folks who lack vision?
I think a lot more people aspire to vert than are doing it.

My next grow is gonna be vertical !

I dont think you could even get close to g/watt in a horizontal setup with hid lamps. My best was about .5g/watt of lighting used. Switching to vert im getting .75g/watt and getting better quickly, all in soil with no co2. Oh and my setup stays cooler than when i used aircooled hoods.

There may not be many in the vert section because once you start growing vert, you have no freetime to be on here with all the bud you have to trim...

Got any pics of your setup?

I'm going vert this upcoming run.
I learned a lot from ttystick and icmag vert section. Marlos wow thread..

Sorry bout the hps but heres 2 verts, the for is dna genetics-djs gold, and the aft is crockets tangie, both 600w hortiluxs both bulbs getting replaced after this. I just put the indagro420 over the tops of the tangie and there are 2 cree cxa3070s@50w each cover the tops of djs gold...all organic super soil (i posted a thread of my mix in the organic section for future reference). Pot size is 10-15gal.

Beautiful man! Real clean.

Looks like the two vert bulb donuts take up about the same space as the LED tent.
Around the same wattage it appears, how's the yield between the two? (Verts vs tent) G/sq ft of each? What is easier as far as maintenence and training?

Thanks braddah.

Here's my first vert run now.

Next time, ill be fixing a screen to the back of a pot and putting one in the door. I'm missing out on a huge area at the moment.

Yea they take up about a 4x8, which is what the tent is, plus a little space to get around. This is the first time i have had all 3 of the led lights together, and theres a mix of different strains under the leds. But for about a 4x4 area each the vert yields better, but i can grow much larger plants and am using more power in the vert setup. Been averaging about a # with just a 600, hoping for more woth the additional lighting over top plus these 2 runs are with all clones from my best two plants over the last year, which were real good yielders. Cant wait to see what i get from this one.

I honestly have never heard of vertical growing till I just started reading these... Granted I only been at this a bit over a year but still, it looks really cool. I just am very baffled by it atm. Much like a caveman when he first saw fire and touched it. For me it's new grounds and I gotta read a ton about it first.

Is it like, making a full plant just run up the wall instead of standing like a plant? I think I get the idea of it, to spread the plant out among the wall so that all of the plant can get light? So it travels the wall, but the middle stays open?

One this is for sure, I have a lot of reading. Some of you make it look like a jungle, almost like grapes or something on a vine it's crazy lol. If that's the case I may try this on my next grow with some ghost train.

But to me, a scrog is like a plant chopped in sections and put in an even row. This seems like a plant cut in half and pasted onto the wall. I be interested in reading if any one did a scrog vs vert grow, that be a good read.

Really neat stuff.

Theres a few grow journals floating around here showing a few ways to do it. Im running 4 20 gallons around 2k light. Depending on what i harvest I may not have to grow again till next year.

I learned recently, from the inimitable @ttystikk it s called "espalier" in traditional agriculture. Grapes are probably a good example of a common use for it. When I buy my next house I'll be going full vert, no question.
