Heaths Flooded Tube Vertical

well would you still be able to get 2.1 with another light in there that would be double!!! I know that would be extreme but just wondering about adding another light. Even if you get 1.5 with two 600 it would be better.
 
So you are building a system like his? :shock:

I'll say it's possible... with a lot of effort...:clap::clap:

Don't forget me... I'd really like to see what you do...:eyesmoke:

Do you keep a journal currently?

When do you plan to start?

Cheers Bro!!!

Best of Luck...

:joint::peace:

I believe the idea behind Heath's grow is to utilize the most efficient yield that can be produced from the lowest watt globe... eg. grams/watts.

If you added another 600w globe, then you would need to yield twice as much to equal the g/p... which is what this is all about:hump:

I believe a 600w globe is ideal for a 4x4 area... which is why his setup is about 4x4 in dimensions.... but as opposed to normal downward light and using a floor space of 4x4, by using vert, you can surround the light with more plants to achieve a better g/p...

Cheers.

Well, 4x4 vert space + 600w bulb is at about peak efficiency imo

If you added a second 600w bulb, I would change the vert dimensions to 8ft high x 4 wide to keep the same efficiency :hump:

I would steer away from CFL's for this kind of growing...

Simply because you need LOTS of lumens to try and minimize the stretch of the plants due to the angle and space constraints involved, not to mention what happens generally when a plant cant support the bud weight:shock:

Imagine that on a plant that is already off balance to begin with....

Could always 'vert scrog' though...?:confused:
Cheers.
 
i totally missed this grow but damn i'm subscribing so i dont lose this thread to check out later. awesome grow, and hats off to you sir!! well done!!!
 
Agreed. He could make a fortune off of his ingenious designs alone. I know if I could get one of his
vertical systems in a kit, versus the junk that's on the market now, I would buy it in a minute. I'm just
not much of a DIY'er.

Yes, and one of the most inventive at that. But we noobs can dream can't we?

We can and we SHOULD dream...

of buds covered in trichs... :bigjoint: amongst other things...:lol:
