good luck Doc hope it all go's well m8
Gixxerman the idea of vert is to use the bulb in the most efficient way handing the bulb vert give 360 degree's of light spread as with horizontal this is halfed, there is no hood needed but soom grower's use cooltube's to help with temp's, one more thing you can have the light sat bang in the middle of your plant's and all bud site will get the same amont of light, good by popcorn at the bottom of the plant
some of my bigger bud's come from the bottom now as they grow up they sit level with the light, there are many other benefit's to vert it's just my system isnt that pratical if you over 5 1/2 feet tall LOL but pay's off in the end
if it's the concept of the scrog/vert the scrogging was done for two reason to hold the plant's back from the light and to make all bud site aset distance from the light as not loss to many lumen's
think like this as a plant grow's the node's x up the stem if i didnt have the mesh i would have alot of branches behind the plant that dont get as mush light as the one up front, now with the mesh i can flaten that x shape almost into a line and bring all site level, i hope this make sence as im alittle baked at the mo hehe
peace fruity
