Interesting. I have a 5x5x6.5ft and 1000w hps. I'm not understanding though how this would increase yields. Are there multiple levels of plants?Hi ElGrandeMongo,
there a lot of good advice on this thread
been overwhelmed with all the comments as I am a new member, it great and thank you all.
When you hang a 1kw bulb vertical, you would need a room 4ft x 4ft x 6ft and have plant all around the bulb because of the size of the room and the bulb does not trap the heat as much as a horizontal hood, I don't think it's a problem with the right set up.
Say you have a floor fan aimed vertical up and hang the top of the bulb just above the canopy and hang the filter vertical above the bulb, so you want a lot of plant 3ft high( above pots)
so you have a ring of plants trapping all the light and airflow
you will give the plants loads of airflow and remove all the heat at the same time
How I'm understanding what you're describing above I'd be losing floorspace to my floor fan and I'm not sure what the trade-off I'm making for that space is?
