Rotating platform for tents/small grows?

You know how mannequins in window displays are sometimes set on rotating platforms? I was wondering how feasible it would be to apply that idea to a tent grow so that the few plants in the tent (or small space) can get the most exposure to the light I was pricing a few....They are either cheap or they are expensive depending on how much weight they can hold.

Kind of an alternative to a light mover, I guess.....


Good idea? Anyone tried it already? Thoughts?

Sounds like a fun DIY project; it's quite feasible, but how is it beneficial besides the inherent coolness of watching plants rotate?

The best use of the available space would be to let the plants fill it naturally.

Guy at a local shop showed me his rig, which is exactly what you describe. Homemade circular panel that rotates on wheels. He had the trellis netting set up to rotate with everything else. Pretty clever. Def diy.

I could use one of those 360° spinners, but I'd just use it to have it easier watering my plants.

With that mannequin stuff, you're spinning around a vertical axis which doesn't really change much considering where your light goes, but maybe I'm missing something here.

Unless you're spinning so fast you create a centrifugal force that pulls out your branches, this doesn't make much sense to me.
