I don't have the luxury of vegging my plants into the screen at the moment or I would. The whole room fills in much better when I veg the plants in the flower room.
This is why I have gone back to running a higher plant count with less veg time on the shelf. I will have a good number of plants on the floor this time around too because I popped all of those seeds recently.
I am hoping to be able to build another RDWC system that will sit on the floor with six to eight sites but we'll see. I have some of the materials needed already but would need some new grommets and some PVC parts before I can build anything.

I'm good for up to 99 according to the recs hanging in my room but I don't know how far the recs really go in the eyes of the law. If I just consider the recs as standard, I'm good for 48 plants. It's looking like I'll have between 45-60 plants going at a time here pretty soon, counting seedlings and rooted clones.
Picked up the pulley and gathered some rope to add my counterweight. I think I might swap out the cable I'm using right now for some of the para cord I found in my kid's stash of stuff. I'm wondering if it will make the mover less noisy. Right now I can hear it inside my house whenever it's running. It's on a timer so it only runs at night but still, I don't really want to hear it running if it can be avoided.

Try some graphite on the pully dez

I lubed the pulley but it still creaks and clicks and stuff. It wasn't graphite lube I used though so maybe I'll try cleaning it and putting some graphite on it when I add the other pulley.

How was it for you not using a tube to cover the bulbs? Not too hot?

You have to change the air in your space all the time like i do , or have a ac in the space.

how does a light mover work exactly?
and what one are you using for it to be vertical?
how many watts do they run on?

Just a few watts, and two pullys and a counterweight transfer the lateral movement to vertical

Alright I guess time for another update!
27 days into 12/12 but they were slow to start!
I wish I coulda waited till they were healthier before flipping but oh well!
They're still dealing with a cal/mag issue in my soil. I'm not sure if its the wrong ratio of elements locking something out or lack of something in my soil mix... Either way I've been watering with the light dose of Calmag+ to supplement my store bought water. I did topdress some amendments but I'm not sure how quickly it'll begin to work.
Next run I definitely will veg them taller. I must.

Cal/mag issue
For now I will continue what I'm doing. I need to find some quality EWC to topdress with and I'll keep watering with the cal/mag and hopefully they'll power through till the end despite the cal/mag issue.
Also! I stopped ventilating outside and closed my basement window and am circulating the air in the tent around the basement. Temps went up by 10degress and humidity in my whole house stabilized. I'm no longer sucking the humid, warm air out of my home and my furnace is running normally again. Hopefully my power and gas bills will go down from not running the furnace so much! And hopefully the carbon filter will still be effective this way!
