Biggest yield style when you have 7.5 foot ceilings?

I am currently doing soil in 20/25 gallon pots with big bushy trees. The problem is I have to jockey plants around because when they get tall they cannot be under Hydrofarm HPS standard fixtures and 1000 watt HSP lights.

What about SCROG? Looking for max yield per sq ft,

Nice. I have similar reflectors. You have the glass lenses or shields on and you are venting the heat with a fan and your exhaust pipe? Thanks.

Always enjoy all the help from everyone. Sworth, E82 and AK ;-)

With 7ft ceilings gotta be ducted no other way heat would be ridiculous to cool at such a low height.

Yeah and love your set up. I was in the grow store and saw a HydroFarm plug, cord and light socket for about $30. Is this what you use to hang those bulbs? I know you had a link to some company but the link was dead.

I have fairly low ceiling in my grow areas so I came up with this rolling scrog cart. It fits in a grow tent for veg & when I'm ready to flip I just roll it into my bloom room. Moving around heavy ass plants is a breeze with this. It's basically just a moving dolly with a scrog frame built out if PVC; use rabbit fence as a screen. I have yet to get a harvest from these. I've built 3 so far & halfway done with a fourth. I plan to have 6 running perpetual under my 600w eventually. I'll pull the first harvest of barneys vanilla kush in about 4 weeks.image.jpeg

That's the bare socket cordset I use, yes.

The company is gone, as far as I know.

Nice low cost rig there. Sweet. Please post some pics when you have that baby in production. I love when people come up with clever and low cost solutions. Thanks for sharing. :-)

One question - six good sized SCROGs under a 600 watt??? Will you have a light mover/light rail? Those are a lot of plants for a 600 watt. Thanks.

I am the light mover or should I say plant mover lol...I just spin them everyday & rotate their positions like twice a week. It's ez when they are are on wheels. I've had 11 plants under my 600w at one time which was too many but I use 2 small LEDs as side lighting; with a 300w mars led panel and a 185w vipar UFO on each end 6 plants is fine. Problem is keeping the canopy all even which the scrog a help. Plus I got a bigass hood to distribute the light. There are pics of the scrog all filled out on my thread in the organics section but I'll throw up a recent one when I get a chance.
