Mephisto Genetics "White and Bubbly" DWC Grow

[Tetra9]

Im wondering what would happen if you put one of these under her on high speed, http://www.amazon.com/Trokia-Sun-Tracker-Plant-Carousel/dp/B004Z0LT24
Keeping the HPS overhead and blasting the side with your mars, kinda at a corner angling down. Constantly moving the plant should provide wicked penetration, with much less dark spots inside! Maybe there is a better plant mover or a way to modify it to do it more frequently, 2 revolutions / week probably wouldnt be the best. Im thinking 2 / day would be better!

That would be awesome ! I got a really nice 2 level SCROG for this, but it didn't arrive in time. If I had this to do over, I definitely would have used the SCROG, and would of lifted the light higher. (I mistakenly assumed it would stop going vertical at 31 inches like the others - and it grew another 11 inches - so I had some bleaching and my main got scorched ) I did manage to rotate this 1/4 a turn every day, but regardless, the light penetration could definitely be better. Thankfully the leaf to bud ratio wasn't higher, or it would have really been a problem. Thanks for the Rep and advice ! Cross your fingers for me on a trouble free finish please.

If you get this or something similar keep us updated. I am interested in something like this. Although, I guess I could just keep rotating myself.

So it's basically a battery powered lazy Susan like you'd find on the dining room table...

Yup, pretty much. I wonder how hard it would be to hack one of these to run off a dc converter and move faster than its supposed to... Converting to DC should be pretty easy, getting it to rotate quicker might be difficult.

18 kg payload, good for small plants, for more robustness and mains powered higher speed http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eB...966228&category=798&pm=1&ds=0&t=1457775850373

They and other models upto 80 kg payload are also available on amazon, both sides of the pond and elsewhere.

Yeah, me too, been eying these for awhile but trouble is the space I think it takes to ensure a snag free revolution..... However when my Chief Financial Officer ain't paying close attention, she might be faced with some accidental rotation......

@pop22 how about some 1 pound quest rotation

.... Although judging from the botanical excessiveness perpetrated by @Tetra9 in this thread, perhaps the 1 kg club is a more suitable rotational landscape, ....... Just saying

I love this idea, but have a serious question. How would you keep your air tubes \ pump from getting all tangled and twisted? Is their a power source on the base ?

Oh, I was doing some "heavy petting" and discovered this plants bud is much more dense, it feels Sour Crack dense - just because of the HPS I guess. It sounds like utter non-sense, but I swear this girl is taking up 1 gallon of water every 12 hours. If I let it sit 2 days unattended, it is empty. Talk about putting the Genetic gas pedal to the floor. Autoflowers are amazing
I dunno I have yet to see any different Phenos of White & Bubbly, but I sure would like to.
I will never forget the Indica Dom Hubbabubba I grew last year. I didn't even know they existed until it happened, and I read some in depth info from Mitch about the strain.

Out of all the Mephisto gear I've ran ( admittedly not even 1/2 of their catalog ) My favorite strain for strength was Walter White.
For taste and aroma, the Tyrone Special. Can we get the "Walter White Special" or something similar ??
I say that jokingly. The Mephisto guys keep the quality over the quantity & I love them for it.
With their 4-20 Line up set to be released, I'd need an Airplane hangar sized grow space to satisfy my curiosities.

@Corgy @thetreeman

Nope, no power supply at the rotating base......Sorry, must admit my mind had shifted into the Airpot/Smartpost gear when I posted, after I had deliberated how my Autopots could be rotating without finding any immediate SIMPLE solution to tangled or rather"wound up" air lines and water tubing, so hand watering is the name of the game for rotating canna damsels and such, me thinks........

........unless of course someone with more cleverness than me has an "of course stupid" simple, easy and cheap way of solving that little niggle so DWC, Autopots with airdomes and similar such won't be left out...... frozen in position

Any takers?

I think you would have to figure out a way for the lights to rotate instead of the plant in this case. Idk how to accomplish this because everyone is running different lights. That, or some kind of moving track ( everything could be on ( lol ) instead of just spinning in circles.

I just smoked some Sour Crack so I hope I'm somewhat clear LMAO.

 

[dcat0921]

They make those spinning Christmas tree stands...I wonder if you could rig one of those to work with grow lights...

Mount it to the top of your tent and attach the lights somehow.
