Left Vertical is about 4 weeks into flower. this room only has 2 plants so I hooked up a bamboo stake and wire to move the bulb a few inches either way every other day. I hooked an oscillating fan up to it, but it burned the fan out in only 2 days. Now that I'll be running more plants this wont work.

Its really hard to get good pictures with the way these are set up.

I've also noticed that these frost up very nicely without any supplemental lighting - in my horizontal grow I put some MH with the HPS, I planned to do that with the vertical grows but I don't think I need to. Maybe because there is no glass to block the light.

I don't really understand- Are you saying you think your buds are frostier because the setup is barebulb? And that they get frostier with MH? Thanks.

I had always read a mixed spectrum was the best way to go, at a ratio of 2HPS/1MH

I guess when I started growing I went all out with as many lights and movers and as much co2 as I could buy and operate.

So this vertical is the first time I've grown with only HPS in flower and I'd say it's working just fine without MH added.

I've seen just how much stuff you CAN use to grow and now I'm being amazed at how well it can be done with just how little.

I've found that 860W CDM lamps work as well as MH, have similar or even better spectrum, save a little power and last a lot longer. Downsides; vertical operating position only and magnetic ballast only.

A far as frost production goes, I think they produce on par with HPS thouies. I hang them up high if I'm running mixed lamps, the plants really like to aim for them.
