I did it .......... my waaaaay!!!

rotating plants slows down ripening.. so u will go longer into flower.. but u will also get a better yield.. its worth it to some. but not others.. all depends on your situation.. nice job.. get those walls white.. or panda film. or reflectix.. ull get better yields. .and wont need to rotate nearly as much

I find that flowering time is not affected at all. My main bug bare is trying to get the vertical stretch I want. It's a catch 22 situation, put vert lights on and vertical growth almost stops or very slow at least. If you ya dont use vert light (horizontal light only) ya get vertical growth but the bottom half is all immature under developed shit. If ya switch light source to late, the lower branches don't yield well at all.

I still keep 1 of my 6 plants static while the others rotate for 15 every 15. I manually rotate the static plant every day or 2. I was expecting to see a plant with better growth on one side of the plant as back of the plant gets pretty much no light. This is not the case. If anything the hand roatated plant seems to be doing better, slightly more bud hair etc

I have a bit of a theory that if you give a plant all over light and get the bud sites going, once a certain size is achieved, growth continues on the dark side so to speak. My theory is that once a bud hits a certain size, it is allowed into the big buds club and gets a % share of plants food it generates regardless of light quality to that bud.

Currently I am 2 weeks into flower and all is lookin good. I know I keep promising some more pics and generally don't (busy life) but will try yo get some up.

ya iuno when i rotated i noticed that it took longer for everything to ripen.. then when i had it screened and didnt rotate shit..

lately.. i bend my main stems.. and it makes for like 10-20 tops works fucking amazing .. just pulled stuff down.. and took my clones off my mom.. my 3000w room at my boys.. we turned it into a 2000w.. instead.. and are running it barebulb .. hoping these 30 plants do well.. the only ones not going into flower is GG4.. my gg4 moms are starting to really take off.. should be able to get a good 10-20 clones off each plant soon.. going to run an entire 1000w light of gg4. asap.

Ok so I have an option, not a cheap one, but effective

at 80 bucks a pop, while not cheap, would do what you want.

Edit, there are some cheaper options out there from china... lowest i seen was 35 a piece.

Cheers matey and thanx for takin the time, those rotators look the bollox but weight will be an issue. Total weight of a just fed mature flowering plant will probably smash the 35lb weight limit.

I saw some with a 150kg rating, but they were running around 150/peice.
