I'm setting up another room with a buddy and he really has a boner for running vertical bulbs. I have only flowered a couple plants using vertical and they were fine but I do have some serious reservations. If anyone with some serious experience could chime in that would be great.
1. Bulbs don't give off shit for light on the ends, so the "band" of powerfull light coming off the bulb seems to be about 2' tall when your 18-24" from the bulb.
2. The middle of the plants done get much light. Light meter readings from inside the plant show that only the outside of the plant is really getting light, the internal part is heavily shaded.
3. The apical buds are not getting the most light. (for the above reason)
4. You can grow super large plants..but again my light meter shows that the actual light is not that tall.
5. It just seems like a scrog having a nice even canopy blasted by light would be best?
I could be wrong, like I said I don't have much experience with very. Maybe the top buds don't need all that direct light?
Thoughts?
