Thanks. The setup helps eliminate the shadows that the vert bulb placement creates. The standard watt/sq ft rule change when running vert as well, but we should already know that. Wish you the best.

Its all in the planning stage still. This will be put together next year when we move.
I have decided on some elements though.
My grow will no longer be done in an undercurrent RDWC. I have purchased slucket buckets, very similar to undercurents buckets but will be doing a drip system similar to PKhydro's Don't want to get slimed, again.
I am a big believer with the concept of nutrition through lighting. So plants will be vegged under Chameleon 500 watt plasma lights.
I will be flowering with vertical hybrid lighting. At the moment the thoughts are either having one 315w CMH over each plant or Gavita 650 DE's lighting the entire room. For vertical lighting 1000 HPS watt bare bulb. But having said that lighting technology is advancing very fast. So by the time this build happens if a larger wattage CMH light is released, that will be looked at or possibly double stacking two 315 watt CMH bare bulbs.
I have narrowed down the strain. I have arranged to get a GG#4 clone, and in addition I have Tony Greens Gorilla Bubble BX3 seeds and on 4-20-17 Tony will release his BX4's. I am very excited to see how Tony's Gorilla Bubble will perform with vertical trees as through his back crossings the stems have been strengthened over the original GG#4, but still mathematically keeping 90% of GG#4 genes

Cooling will be water cooled. I have 4 of 5 ton air handlers left over from a previous grow. I was going to use a chill king banks chiller, but have found a firm that makes chillers that combines both a compressor for chilling and air cooling components to take advantage of the outside cold air and internally have it configured when outside air is below 50 degrees the unit uses the outside air as it's cooling method and when outside temperatures rise over 50 degrees the air cooling part of the chiller supplements the compressor for chilling.
I love the planning and research stage. I read every night of my favourite topics related to my upcoming build. This coming build will resemble very closely my previous build. See pictures of the top floor of my last grow.
