Hello guys I have a question. Im doing a vertical grow with 4 plants and 2 600 watt lights. I am wondering is this possible? All the vert grows I have seen have 1 bulb with the plants around it. The others have the 3 or more bulbs with the trees inbetween, but I want to run trees with the 2 bulbs I have. I want to place them like
xox where x is plant and o is the light. Im thinking I might have to rotate the plants due to the few lights i have.

Well I just added plants at the other ends of the grow for a total of 6 plants. But the system edited it. Hope you understand what I mean.

I ran a stadium this way for years. 5x600w in the middle. With plants on racks with three shelves each, I got 48 plants in there. I eventually went to 14 trees in 5gal. buckets. It yielded rather well both ways but the trees were much less work. There used to be a guy here called NorthernFarmer that had an extensive thread on stadiums. If you can find it, there's a lot of good information there.

I know that power bill had to be killer with that many watts

u can have one from the floor up and one from the roof down have them meet in the midle with cool tube or just have both above the plants like i do or my old man for years can see the real reason but he has one above and one below the plants

I run my lamps vertically beside the plants, and use the round trellis to manage the canopy for optimal coverage and depth. Several plants end up making a green silo, with the lamp peeking out between the leaves now and again. I used to call it inside out trees, because that's how it looks.

This isn't my pic, its a pic I pulled here off of the vertical forum, sounds like this is what you want?

Or you want to hang the two lights separately with the plants around?

I would do it like this pic, or set up your 6 plants in an elliptical shape and put the two 600w lights in between the two focal points...

Maybe your ellipse wouldn't be so ovular, but it certainly would be longer on one axis than the other...


Hope those pics helped!
