wow, i just wasted like 2 days reading. well not wasted but time im not getting back. This is it. This guy northern farmer has the perfect setup. Perfect for cost, ease to setup, production value, and dissassembly speed as well. I looked at all the vertical grows here and on 4 other sites, and I hate to say it, but this is the best. 3 1ks in a row, down a V shaped room. Simple but so smart. im going to try to small scale this in my hydro hut. But this is the idea all my setups will follow.

so why is this the best vertical grow idea, cause its so cheap. nothing required. build shelves, hang lights, one vent in. one vent out. done! and this guy is doing 10 pound grows like nothing.

looks like a lot of work - watering by hand? yuck!!! a lot of dirt to get rid of - hardly the best use of the light - but if you h ave nothing better to do then hunch over for hours at a time then woooo whoooooo have at it

This setup would also work great with a hydro in-line bucket system. Probably need one reservoir (15 gals ), pump, & air pump for each 10 plants.

Yeah, why would you want to use the whole bulb and not just half of it!!!

Come on, it's the freaking best use of a bulb period.

Wow al that dude used was 3 1000 watt lamps.....I have seen other growers waist light with an excess of 6-7 1000 watt bulbs & dont even get the same yield as this guy. This just goes to show its not the amount of light but how the light is applied. Good thread. :peace:

Im thinking its peoples shiney light shades. I saw better yeild with no light shade on my MH light almost got as much smoke as I did with my old 1000w HPS. Makes you think huh me to. Gonna paint my old light shade flat white today because im makeing a new smaller room with all flat white. I might be on to somthing with this color spectrum thing makes it that much more fun:joint:

Yeah no reflector shade, flat white paint, panda film or some other highly reflective material may be a good thought for guerilla growing & probably a light mover to prevent hot spots. :peace:

yeah, this guy sums a year of reading in his grow. I havnt seen better use of lighting since this. VERTICAL IS THE KEY TO ELECTRICITY AND SPACE ISSUE. And get this northern farmer goes even cheaper ad uses 1k MH bulbs, he says commerical wise, not much difference in weight of buds in the end but a hell of a lot cheaper in price of bulbs, you can get 1k MH under a $100. 3 of them, and your doing multiple pounds. Some cheap wood beams, you may spend under a 1000, and reap 5000 from first season, so omegafarmer, I think will be hunched over my first shelf of plants, the other 3 will be waist height and higher, and I think as closed in as your system is, and as complicated with moving parts shows which is easier, and im going to do exactly as some said and just set up drip lines to the pots. A nice slow drip all day long and if one or two looks dry, yeah ill hand water. Doesnt seem hard to me, ive been hand watering like many since the beginning. and 3000 saved by not getting omega or cheaper alternatives of rotating

and i just want to say, who waters for hours. I was watering 30 plants in nder 15 minutes before. and also im gathering equipment now, but eventually im going to set up the duplicate vertical grow pictured here, 3 1ks. im gonna do 2 HPS and 1 MH cause I think initial investment is trivial at this point when your reaping pounds, but im going to have this setup if you stay tuned.

sorry guys but the same can be done with 2 volksgardens in 1/4 of the space with about 1/3 of the light and 1/10 of the labor and in less time

2 voksgardens equals 5grand. 5000 dollars, lol .
you gotta build it also. doesnt come assembled. and when its time to pack up cause the squad cars are coming, what you gonna do with 2 volkswagens? with plain wood, you can use for anything and just tuck behind a door.
