looking great!

Yep, vertical scrog, probably put the RKS in their frame today.

Vertical trellis. Vertical can also be naked bulbs between plants or shelves/tiered growing.

That's pretty cool... Ive got a bunch of cfls that im not using anymore,could i use them for something like this??? Just curious...

Sounds pretty inefficient, RKS in their frame.

nice, thought they were bigger before the switch, do they stretch that much?

 

[captainmorgan]

First run with them and was told they triple in height, having some doubt about that now.

GG#4 day 35.

Nice clean n tight operation you have going there @captainmorgan

Two set ups back to back , one with 288's and the other with Elites.

This vertical setup, how much does it yield on a per squarefoot of floor basis, including the lights etc? Its really sweet looking. Any other advice for someone looking into going vertical is also appreciated.

With this set up it's more than just yield, with the lights and the screen being easily movable it saves many hours with how easy it is to work on the plants. That being said it also yields well, 2+ ozs per sq/ft, and it could be more but I made the screens short enough to move through a door, if they were taller the yield per sq/ft would go up.

@captainmorgan much props on your setup. Could the QBs run a little cooler if they were rotated 90 degrees to get a 'chimney effect' from heat rising between the fins. Horizontal fin mounting might not fully take advantage of convective cooling.

They would run cooler but that's not a concern for me because I run the QB's soft. On a similar note, the Elite splayed pin fin coolers on the second setup run cooler on a vertical orientation than they would on a standard horizontal.

Both have a oscillating fan that blows through the fixture onto the plant.
