@ Bassman - That price is cheap for a mover judging from what I have seen. The chain drive seems cool but 20 minutes to travel 6' is crazy! Mine takes just a few minutes to travel the 6' rail it's on. I wonder if all of the newer ones move slow like that? I wonder if it's any better or just different, you know?

I got mine used along with some other stuff I bought from a guy.
Glad I asked b4 I bought it. I had no idea how fast it should move.

I am higher than I've been in a little while right now :hump:
A buddy dropped by to pick up some stuff and we smoked some of the Blackberry Kush and I had just eaten an oatmeal "canna" cookie. Now They have both kicked in pretty good and it's getting harder to type, LOL. Blackberry Kush, mmmmmmmm..........
BBK FTMFW!!
haha good to hear Dez :-)

Loookin good G, yuuuuum.


Bass, I agree with Dez. I think that may too slow to REALY keep the light close with the intensity, the one I have only takes about 45 seconds to go 8 ft.

I may have to take some spooky night time pics lol
I am in the market still, but will research more.
I wanna see the spooky Halloween pics...please!!

Did you know that when a leaf has light shined on it, it continues to go through the photsynthesis process for 6 minutes after the light source has been removed. So techinically as long as you replaced the light source prior to that 6 minutes being up, the plant/leaf would have uninterrupted photosynthesis as if the light had been shining on it the whole time.
I knew they didnt need constant light, and didnt know the info to say it.
Thanx for that, crazy how long the light affects em...really makes the mover seem more necessary now!

Hey, how's things guys. Reading your posts about light movers and bill, that post about the photosynthesis going for 6 mins, got me brainstorming. See if you can picture this. Something like a mic stand only bigger, maybe, with a good solid base and a fairly rigid pole. This is placed in the middle of your tent. Then you would have to fabricate something to fasten your light fixture to is to it overhangs your plants, like a street lamp. Then picture that poles base having a motor in it, like an old antennae motor for a TV tower, that rotates that pole that your fixtures attached to, going over the top of your crop like a clock.

Now after typing this, I'm picturing something similar only it hangs from the top of tent instead. Doobie, Trademark this for me. Clockworx Light Mover.

Any thoughts?

Hard to draw with a mouse but heres a rough drawing. Two examples. X1 and 2. The only hurdle I'm hitting is cord twisting up so I think it would have to alternate clockwise and counter clockwise.

Those are some trippy light systems man. You'd think that would make the plants stress out or something. Made me dizzy just watching.

Dual tents are rockin' it, duchie!
I always dig seeing those color temps side by side like that.
Like x-mas lights.

Ya, it's pretty cool. I was just checking out the MH conversion bulb that came with the bundle. I have to email the retailer tomorrow cause the HPS bulb they sent is faulty. I threw in a working one I have to confirm the bulb. It's the only thing I'm complaining about though. The tent is actually better quality than I was expecting. While my older tent has welded metal corners, the newer tent is better in every other way. First off it's more a canvas than the poly like material my old one is made of and second, it comes with a big fold back on the front that opens to a viewing window and I didn't know that when I bought it so that was a bonus. Oh, and the other thing, and not sure if this is a plus or not, but they sent me a dimmable ballast instead of the regular one I ordered. Don't know what that's about but can't look a gift horse in the mouth, right?

Could scale back the watts for early veg, when high output isn't needed, then wick it up as the plants grow bigger?
Either way, it's a bonus. :-)
Sleep well, duchie.
I'm heading to sleep early, too. Had physical therapy today, and tomorrow I drive up to Portland for my 6-month doctor's visit.
Hope everyone has a good night on this side, and a great day over yonder across the Big H20.
Peace

Sorry to hear about the faulty bulb duchie but the dimmable ballast works out nice ;-) Also glad to hear the tent is nice. The viewing window sounds great :!: I was thinking of cutting out a section of my box and sealing it back up with a piece of plexiglass so I can see without opening the doors :-D

Morning guys and gal, or evening and good night. That video with the light movers is hilarious at the end, I can't believe they actually kept that bit in, guy gets a good wallop, hehe. Adn I agree, would make me dizzy looking at those things. And someone, please water those plants that look like they are about to drink themselves to death....

Whodat, spectacular results my friend. I just weighed in double what I thought I would with the cheese so I and a few others are happy campers. Off to chop down some of the outdoor, it's just getting too cold here. Even with the greenhouse heater the frost warning indicator on the dehumidifier is still coming on.

Much love to the 6double.

WOW, whodat!
Bee-e-a-utiful!
Had to pop back in after the Sour D teaser.
Great job again!

Will be popping back in & out for an hour or two.
Snoozed in the computer chair for an hour, so not as tired as I'd hoped for.
But give me a hard time if you find me posting later than 2-hours from now! Please! :-)
I need my beauty sleep for tomorrow's journeys.
Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!
