Looking good my friend! How far into stretch are you, is a light mover necessary?

Just wondering,

The plant up front is halfway through flower so that's why I made her portable she will be done first. The other three it's day 2 of 12/12 for them so there will be a lot of stretch yet to come lol. The mover is already on hand and will just make sure the light spread is more even vs having two 600w bulbs. We will see how it works.

Ok,

So now that things have calmed down here I can write some stuff out. First off big thanks to brother @OneHitDone for all of his help via PM. I am using a 3x3 tent from Agromax. I have a 3x3 OD flood table up on a frame I built from 2x4's and it drains into a bin underneath. I use 3 gallon coco fabric pots and Nova Grow/Nova Bloom. I have been very happy with this combo since making the switch and the current SIP will be my last for the time being. I decided to put the SIP in the front as the "portable" unit because it's half way through flower already and would be coming out first. It also needs water the most frequently so......

I first had put up frames like on the SIP on the sides of the tent. I was not happy with this because it left a lot of space empty. I was going through all this trouble for empty space on a wall, I think not. So I took down the panels and ran the trellis fencing I bought on the back wall and the sides. I got a block of 2x4 for my fan to sit on in the center pointing up, and I took down the 315w CMH and put up the Blue MH 600w from Hortilux. I am running the Gold Series E Ballast made by them with a socket I got from growershouse. With the ballast outside the tent, my temps are actually lower a few degrees so far than when I had the 315w CMH which did surprise me.

I have a light mover sitting here that will get setup soon but it needs to wait a bit so I do not do it twice.

I just took down my first harvest recently and this will be my second run to flower. I am excited to see bigger buds than last time and more frost.

Cheers :bigjoint:

@gr865 if you want the highest yield possible you have to veg vertical as well a lot of people will say vert sucks but not vegging vertically is why it will greatly decrease yield.

What type of topping technique do you use to cover the trellis?. And nice setup evil.

I am not up on the Blue MH 600W, but I did not think you could hang a MH vertical.
I hope I am wrong, and it may be just the cheap bulbs you can't hang but that what I remember from memory, big mistake depending on this ol' memory.
I like your set up bud!

No issues hanging this one vertically for sure I checked into it. Gonna run these bulbs until they release the 600w CMH then I will give that a try.

I do appreciate your thread and help, your portable setup inspired mine for the bucket, and I will; be running a similar setup as yours once the bucket is done and a plant in Coco takes it's place.

May I ask, what do you use for the bottom panel on your setups?
