It's cool to see people experimenting with vertical growing (not horizontal Sunny, lol, that's how everyone grows.) Anyway, I think if you were to have the pots the way they are they will need to be secured in. I have been growing vertical for a while and I can tell you, thin shelves = Danger Danger. Reason, because you are growing vertical the plant will start leaning into the light, well I think you can imagine the rest, Weed plants turning into Lemmings!!! Weyhey....
So, I would:
A/ Tie down each gallon pot (whether you have them on there side or standing up)
B/ Look at the possibility of getting caps for the pots. You will need that if they are on there side, believe me, I have also grown in all sorts contraptions verticall (even grow bags slung on shelves with plants in) and believe me, water is effected by gravity and boy, what a mess that can be (colllecting run of or not - there's always some that comes from somehwere you don't expect it!)
C/ Think about the possibility of having the plant on that stand/shelf unit, and when it comes to watering, moving the whole unit and to water it by laying it down on the ground as an option?
D/ Another options would be to train the plants through the shelf above the pot so that the plant is actually growing into the unit itself.
E/ Cover the whole front of that unit with a net set up. Then you can grow vertical scrog, and won't have to worry about MJ lemmings....
Just some ideas....

i know i'm small but ya gotta start some where right? in prep for the 600 in a few days, i took the table out of the closet and set the plants on the floor, i got the shelf unit at home dePot. i think it should work well. i have a little girl in the purple 2 litre bottle in the first 1 gallon pot. LOL i am gonna fill that closet up. gonna see if i can get another 600 out of the mrs, shhh ixay on that brothers. so i think 2 600s and 3 walls full of 1 gallons? i'm gonna catch and drain the run off. gives the mrs something to do, shhhhh on that again, she comes on here sometimes
