Hi all.
I've been running 5 runs, 3 of them very unsuccesful due to SEVERE heat issues.
I decided to tear the thing down for summer and run a much smaller place, which should give just a bit less, but using much less energy and giving much better product.
I have a veg closet, which I'm good with and a flower room which I want to re-make for my next run.
My room measures 90cm (45") deep, 1m (50") wide and 2.3m (~7.5') high.
I'm flowering using a single 400w SonMaster, cool tubed.
I might add a 45W warm white CFL this time for side lightning. Won't do any harm I guess.
I grow currently 4 big plants measuring around 1.3m (4') each in soil using 25L containers, another plant in soil 90cm (30") tall with something to make it higher and 2 coco\perlite plants around 1.4m (4.3') tall.
I have trained them to form a kind of colloseum thing.
I got a 280CFM exhaust vent that doesn't actually push that much air due to long ducting, 4" cool tube and a carbon filter.
Got a 16" household type of fan sitting below pushing air up. On speed 2 out of 3.
And a 80cfm vent from over the plants giving some more air from veg. closet. there's only a single 45W cfl in there so there it doesn't come hot at all.
You can check my grow in here:

Anyway, for my next run I want to maximize yield.
I thought of going vertical for that porpose.
I drew out the setup.
The dark green is 7L pots, and light green is 4.5L buckets that will become pots.
Everything will be coco\perlite, hand watered probably.
Veg time will be 3-4 weeks. The plants in the small pots, sitting on top of the bigger ones will be the older plants as I want to create so height difference to fill the screen faster.
I plan of actively scrog for the first 2 weeks, then streching should almost stop.
The GWS- greatwhiteshark streches the most.
C- Cheese streches only a tad with alot of branching and very comact structure that need some spreading.
WR- WhiteRhino barely strech and form one main cola with a bunch of side branches.
LS- Lemon Skunk streches the most producing one main cola and very few branches.
I want the buds to fill the screen 50cm high.
Thats one option.
The other option is creating a colloseum, but with less training then now, more plants and using time gaps between clone batches to give height difference.
What way do you think will be better?
