    Question: Can i place my scrog and lights at 45 degree angle without affecting anything negatively.
    Strain: Blue Dream mostly sativa(need recommendations for other genetics and seed banks)
    Lights: 2x1000w in flower/various cfls in veg(HIDs were a gift from a friend who switched out to LEDs)
    Clone/Veg Room: Two 3ftx5ft closets stacked on top of the other already constructed regrettably on the far end block wall leaving a remaining 15ftLx5ftWx11ftH space. 
    Flower Room:15 feet long by 5 feet wide by 11 feet high. Partitioned with panda film.
    Scrog Size: Six 5ftx2ft DWC modular scrog at 45degree angle; making one long 12ftx5ft switchandswappable super scrog
    Reason for Angle: My room is 18ftx5ft and I was given 2 very nice 1000w lights and want to maximize their light distribution and my space by angling my scrog and lighting accordingly to the room limitations. So as to yield about 20 in.s at base of the scrog and between the wall.

    I'm worried about the heat from those two big lights. Why'd you go with 1000w? I get a ton of heat just from 440w and I'm outside. If you can manage everything you can try to get away with angling your lights but the plants grow best when your light mimics the sun. I've had tilted plants grow funny as hell even outside in containers. Good luck with blue dream she grows like a christmas tree untopped and healthy. I suggest Indicas though for indoors.

    Ok as far as the heat from lights goes I do have hood reflectors with 6 in. hose and wanting  to use a cheap duct booster i already have on hand not sure of the CFM for it though. So Ventilation I'm not too worried about.
     From what i under stand the plant will always grow towards the light source. So what i want to know is what might be some complications at angling my scrog.
