Yep, just hang the 600w into your canopy and arrange your plants around the light. Then just turn your plants 1/4 turn every couple days so the whole plant is lit evenly. I've got some pictures of two different types of vertical grows in my journal. If you would like to see it just click the 'my journal' link in my sig line. The vertical stuff is near the end of the journal.

I have read elsewhere that rotating your plants will actually reduce your yield as the plant uses it energy adjusting to face the light. just what i read.. not what i know. try for yourself

Not sure where you read that, I would say the growth is more even. I do watch my plants "track" the light makes for strong stems and big buds. 2k watts can easily yield 4lbs + in this configuration

wouldnt a vertical bulb give you better lighting than a horizontal in a shade a bulb hang with no shade would light more area and sides of your plant than a normal light trying to penetrate the canopy
