Will make access much easier! :-)
Honestly I was just wondering about the light mover comment? The hazy susan wont increase canopy coverage, just makes things easier to access.

I think the thought was a single plant rotating around the light??? Could you imagine a 'teacups' type setup with a bunch of lazy susans sitting around a lazy susan, all automated. Bunch of spinning plants. Kinda makes me dizzy.

lol yeah thats making me dizzy too! stop it! bongsmilie
I was actually thinking about that earlier today, Iv seen a vid on youtube some company makes or made these systems... They obviously never heard of the KISS method lol. Waaay too much going on IMO.



Edit: or Im just jealous lol

Found the vid.

Thats a really cool set up, but indeed it is very complicated. It looks like that plant he took out was really sturdy, I bet the movement makes a difference.

When I fiirst posted that I was thinking it would help with light coverage, but your right unless each plant was moving it wouldn't.

I really really want a volksgarden, from omega garden. The volksgarden would be big enough for me, and if I needed more I could get a second one and link them up next to each other. The idea of 360 degree light is very appealing to me, and the movement in the volksgarden is again supposed to make for very sturdy well balanced plants. Maybe someday I can toy with these ideas I've just never been able to drop all the cash at once to get one.

I've seen this video before, and that is a really cool LED light. I think I'd be inclined to stick with the 600w hps, but perhaps 2 400s could be better, a hps at one end and a mh at the other end of the cool tube.

That being said I just watched it again, and that light is pretty fucking sweet too!

I didnt think that far ahead bongsmilie If the plants eat Mary and Gary then so be it, the circle of life continues... I tell ya what though, the donkeys LOVE eating cannabis plants! Well a donkey will eat almost anything but they get pretty frisky when I bring them indo plant material :-)

I predict to see more lazy susans in the near future! Im excited to see peoples different takes on it. I thought I was the originator and alas, someone else had done it. The only one I looked at when I searched though was just a box with wheels and the screen. they pulled the whole box outta the closet so it wasnt very awesome. Im sure if you make one it will have some sort of improvements to it Ill steal back for the next one I make! :)

I am seriously considering trying to build a low platform with 4 individual turn tables on it to move each plant in a circle around the light. Hang a light vertically, and a second one above the top to get 100% light coverage over the plants. I won't be doing it until/unless I move to a state where I have plant numbers to worry about, but it has me thinking for sure.

So I checked out the website for that LED setup, OMG $2400 that is one pricey LED. That being said the site makes some really big claims for their LEDs. They claim that they get 2x the grams per watt of HID, and that their LEDs are the brightest lights on the market, supposedly even more so then HID. Those are some huge claims to say the least, perhaps only matched by the prices of the units.

It seems any company grow related has these insane claims about their products. Pardon the pun but they see growers as ripe for the picking.... They know we will pay almost whatever it costs to get the jerb done.

I really like the idea of LED lights but I will wait until the tech gets better and the prices come down :-) Something I also have my eye on is plasma lighting :hump:
