I have two OG Kush plants going (One is a clone, about 10 inches tall, the other started from seed), and for the first two weeks I had them under a 75-watt HPS 'floodlight' I picked up from Home Depot. After reading a few books, and articles on growing, I decided to modify my light to mount vertically, without a reflector. From what I read I can get a better yield going this route, as opposed to the horizontal setup I was using, but I have never grown with a vertical-mount HPS before, and need to know if there's anything I need to do differently from a horizontal-mount. This is just a 'test run' for me - If the spot I am using works out, I plan on wiring the entire area, and converting it into a 'real' growroom - I only plan on having 2-3 plants max, so I figured the 75-watt HPS would be fine, and with the vertical-mount there's less heat from the bulb, which allows me to have the plants closer to the light. I'm hoping someone in here has had success with vertical-mounts, and can give me a few pointers. Thanks!
