So ive had a very good friend of mine keep saying to make a leap of faith and try vert growing. Ive got a good 5 grand to put on the line and am ready to take the steps forward.
Lets let you all decide how i do it!
So lets talk how many lights, types of bulbs, reflectors, ballasts, cooling methods, plant support methods, room design and everything inbetween. Im all ears on this one!

To start though i will say itll be a 4 monster plant room. Thinking 1000 watters Possibly 5? Let hear what everyone has to offer and lets make this build together! Open to all systems and ideas let GO!

Color me biased.. but I would do it just like I currently am.

5 bare bulbs
4 plants in 32 x 32 cages
2 ton mini split
dwc in 10 gallon totes

Ballasts $900
Bulbs 350
AC 2400
dwc system 200
nutes... 300?
Co2 system. 700

Your broke but looking at 8lb harvest.. at least. 10-11 if you know what's up....but let's not get ahead of ourselves here :)

thanks for the reply man good to finally get some input! i think DWC is pretty much the way to go on this one i have a co2 hook up already extra that can go in there. 32 x 32 cages seems right aswell, think i should go recirculating with a res? Also what nutes would you suggest? And how about bulb placement?

this is prbbly well after the fact, but i would look into building a ppk rig before doing dwc. too easy to have things go wrong in a hurry when roots are 100 % submerged. sure can't argue it makes girls grow well, but i think you can get near as good growth and have more of a safety buffer in the process.
i'm rather fond of girls being organic as well. i'm not preachy about it, up till last grow i was using humboldt master's which is not organic. switching has cost me some yield for sure, but i think i'm getting better quality of flavors and aroma's that are brought out more with organics. still dialing, still learning, on a quest for awesome moms.

I’m on my first all out vert grow as well using almost the same space. 5,000$ is a good start, but I’m no expert! I can sit here all day on this question. I can make many suggestions, but it’s on u, and what u r used of, and comfortable with to make your final decision on what weapons U need to get the job done. Only advise I can give is “growing is as hard as u make it!” It was here before us, hopefully it will be here after us!

sounds like what you want to do is the standard 5 light 4 plant vert.i prefer the ppk system .had a power outage at grow yesterday and if i was dwc,they could have all died.if you are going to do dwc you will need a chiller.no chiller needed with ppk.i have been running them for maybe three or four years.good luck!
