So, my current grow is pissing me off. I vegged my plants 2-3 months and they all look like they aint gonna yield much for nothin! They are tall but i'm running out of room in my tent. I wonder if switching to vertical lighting is an option and what I need to do to accomplish this? I just bought a 600w HORT bulb so I would like to use that if I can. Can I just get a vertical bulb holder and use my 600w HORT bulb? Then I could just ditch the 400w or expand the room later...
I'm currently running in a DR150 5'x5'x6.5' tent. I do have a window ac unit in the room. The tent currently has 2 horizontal reflectors (600w and a 400w), but this doesnt seem efficient and I think vert would be better maybe.
It's currently setup like this: room -> tent -> cf in bottom of tent -> duct -> light 1 -> light 2 -> duct -> exhaust fan at top of tent -> attic
See pics of current plants and setup. What do yall think?? Plants are 5ft tall and if you can see...there's about 2-3 ft of clearance in the back I could move the plants around. Does this look doable? And what would I need to make the switch??!?! I'm tired of this setup and think vert may be the way to go. I'm assuming just go to hydro shop and get a vert bulb holder? Can I just use my 600w digital ballast and just change bulb holder? Or maybe just remove reflector and hang the thing vertically in the center?
