My current "vertical" grow lol. My plants got way too large in the veg tent. Using trellis netting on the walls to control height and distance from bulb. The last two plant lowers from past harvest (on the floor dead center with stakes) will come out tonight and the space will be taken by the plant on the left in the other picture. Will throw a net over top to lower the height further to make sure it doesn't stretch to the light.
Not truly vertical since I'm still using my cool tube and reflector horizontally at the roof. But what do you gentlemen think?

Sorry for not answering for a long time, Bro! This festive bustle is confusing.))
As for your vertical box. Your light is in the wrong position. For maximum effect, you need to position the lamps like this
Also, I would advise you to turn the lamp across, because now you only have one wall illuminated. on two side, light practically does not fall.

Appreciate the advice. This grow was not intended to be vertical, I've just had plants vegging too long so I'm working around them and used some vertical techniques (trellis on walls). Currently keeping the light in the cool tube in a less than optimal position because I now have a plant directly underneath so I can't have a fan blowing up on it, and when running at 1100w temps would be too much without the reflector. I hope to do a proper vertical grow setup later on in 2021.

yes, I agree 1100 watts, in such a box, without a cool tube it will be very hot.
If you are going to remodel for vertical equipment, then tubes are sold that do not have a reflector so that the light is 360.

I believe I can remove the tube from the reflector with just a few screws to save myself the money on a new tube thankfully! I will try a proper vertical set up sometime in the fall of 2021. Will see what's possible with this 1000w light with proper setup. Would I need anything else, other than a better trellis system?

If I were you, I'd rather use a 600 watt lamp, for yours a box! 1000 is a lot for such an area.
It looks like there is a scratch on the vinyl record.)))
Здорова, Бро!

Great, Bro! Especially the side walls.
large leaves can be torn off gently. It's very dense there, flowering has now begun, more space is needed.
What are you feeding?

You can do this, Bro.)))) Residents of most countries of the world, until now, know about atomic energy only from the James Bond films.)))
Then I will not cover an area of 3m.X1.8m. on vege 300 watts LED. That's how much I have in the installation now. And it takes up a lot of space.

That's a lot of room for such a small light. You sure you don't need more?

Bro, with the beginning of the new year, we have a new joy - increased utility rates for heat, electricity and so on. The only country in the world where tariffs are raised during an epidemic! Of course, people again took to the streets and held rallies .. Again a mess!
Congratulate us Bro, we have the highest gas price in Europe. This is how we move to the European Union.))))))
This I mean that my power line is overloaded without it, the bills for electricity are outrageous !!

Wow I had no idea. Ukraine is being squeezed from all directions!
If energy is the most expensive resource then I understand why your grow is the way it is.

Yes, of course ... I'm sure that you don't show on the news what's going on here. There are protests all over the country, people took to the streets, blocking highways, demanding lower gas tariffs. Also, in parallel in Kiev, people gathered near the president's office, they are representatives of small and medium-sized businesses. They also increased their taxes. They stood there for several weeks, but after there was no response from the president, they went to ........ the US embassy in Kiev.)))) They are demanding from the US government now.))) Because they know that the president of Ukraine is a puppet! Do you think this is a joke? No, Bro is true! But this is not news to me, if you remember, then I predicted a similar outcome of events in Ukraine five years ago here! It's not difficult to check, just re-read this thread .. The only thing I was wrong about is that the crisis in Ukraine will continue for 10 years .. No, it will continue much longer! Now, in terms of economic development, Ukraine is among the countries of Africa - it's true! There is nowhere further. I really want to be wrong, but in my opinion, Ukraine will soon have another bloody shake-up!
Bro, you're doing great!

America does not have news services; we have 6 different varieties of Pravda. All propaganda, all the time. One can find real news but you have to go looking for it. My buddy in Ukraine tells me the truth about what's happening there, for example. The struggle for affordable energy will lead to the use of renewables, that is if the government will allow it. If the American puppet stays in power, that technology will be delayed because everyone will want to keep Ukraine dependent on them instead of self reliant.
Summer is coming; maybe you can find some quiet spots in the countryside to grow a few extra plants?
