Jig, I'm asking all the vertical growers I can find this same question - would you say the bud quality is diminished, both in terms of density and also in terms of half of the bud receiving almost no light?
Want to get a feel for what I'm looking at before I go on a spending/building spree for vertical - if the quality is that diminished, I'll stay with the lower yields of horizontal.
If you were able to quantify the reduction in quality (as well as you can, and obviously based solely on your opinions/anecdotes) you'd be my hero.
