Can someone list some benefits of vertical growing?

To increase yields one must use "side lighting" also your yield depends on strain grown - there are some 2 lbs-ers plants (PM me)
im a first time grower 5 weeks into flowers two plants, i grew them two big, so the buds close to the light are biggest and where the light is not reaching the small as. lol. learning curve

I was joking around. I thought growing vertically was basically side lighting everything, so not sure how to add side lighting to side lighting. But it sounds like a plan. More light = more bud. Or course it also means more heat and less space for plants. Everything's a trade off.

Personally, I think side lighting is a band aid solution for a lousy setup design. This is especially true of vertical growing.

You want yield? Get some watts on the job! Thirty W/ft² or more is what it's going to take to get decent results. Yes, in vertical grows it's all side lighting. That doesn't mean it isn't still your primary light source.

2x600w = perfect for a vertical grow. You stack em relatively close - I have mine a little over a ft apart and you get the added intensity and then some from a reflector to get to some of the lower sites. Makes your trees really shine. Also some strains tend to more even expend energy - lowers get bigger anyway. Genetics helps.

Yeah, don't do vertical grows. I mean, why would you want 4x the canopy?

We hung some 1k over our biggest vert plants last run. Fucking 3lb blue dreams :)

It's like McDonald's over here. I'm loving it!
That's amazing!
Can you detail this out a little more?
How many plants , watts , soil/hydro?

Sorry upon request I'm keeping it a secret

Welcome to the new world of legal weed..

It's not like you could strut into KFC and say "damn, this chicken is the shit, could I please have the recipe"

Besides, there is already a thread and I'm busy trying to secure a fucking water right for our 70 year old well at the WH. Or I could just hook up to city water. I was told 30k for that on Friday.
