Hi RUI ... I was wondering if anyone on RUI use this type of system .... i heard that they r a great producers but i would like to know "in's" and "out's" from someone who actually used one or so one in use... i'm thinking about getting one myself ... actually im debating between this one or a roto grow ... i so on RUI roto-grow journal and it's cool and all but have some moving parts and if those crap on me i feel like it's going to be pain in the ass to fix it ...

they both look like one hell of a lot of cloning.
the only thing i don't really care for with both styles is you're really locked in to that way of growing and have to find strains that perform best in it. what happens if you over veg or have a long stretching pheno? i'm sure the production of both when dialed is pretty damn amazing though.

Anybody an idea of the cost of such a system? I couldn't find any prices on the rotogrow website...

thanx,

Alex

@TheMan13 this looks famiar?

I've seen them from $2500 and up. You basically have to go 12/12 from clones and hope they don't stretch too much. Not to mention they all feed from the same reservoir...

Other than that, fuckin sweet :-)

Looks like an ingenious but complicated system. With prices to match...

I am sure it will pay itself back though. Would love to see one in action, how fast do they rotate :eyesmoke:

?

That second picture is nine years old. If those contraptions worked well, don't you think there would be more recent pictures? @BigHulk I don't know where you live, but cannabis is legal in twenty two states and I have seen a dispensary commercial. The commercial looked like a community access channel commercial, pretty lame, but novel. Your wait is over.

Much easier to just set up your own verticle grow with a few large plants IMO

I saw that rotating device about a decade ago. Seems like its a lot of investment in materials for what ya get! Cool idea though; im guessing the inventor is a sativa guy!

That contraption looks like it would come in handy on a spaceship or confined spaces :peace:

If you think one of those things is a good way to grow, then do yourself a favor and just stop thinking about growing now.

Do yourself a favor and shhhhh

ScotiaBud420 · Mar 31, 2015

If you have the money to throw away in order to save a little time building your own, these may very well be the shit!
IMO I'd build one out of 4 or 6 inch pvc pipe before I bought one

ScotiaBud420 · Mar 31, 2015

But I am also curious as to how these bad boys work after seeing them and having them on my mind- if you do happen to purchase one, keep us updated

cannibaERB · Apr 1, 2015

$2500 is a little steep but it might be a good investment at some stage for someone into commercial growing.

legallyflying · Apr 3, 2015

There is absolutely no way some one woukd use those clown town contraptions in a commercial setting.

I could see it now.. "ok guys, we need to make clones today" "ok, how many do we need?"
"Ohh, about 2000 ought to do it"

Looks to be Heath's old setup. All parts are available in the US except maybe for the adapter end caps. I happen to know that because when I posted mine some people said they only seen it in heath's setup. Easy enough to drill a hole in an end cap though... Heath's setup was wider than the mini coliseum posted above and also had less plant sites.

I don't know nr 13, not related to him, but looked familiar yes:

Also, Volksgarden: https://www.rollitup.org/t/first-volksgarden-grow.148946/page-11#post-5199730

Imo there is no way this would be used in a commercial setting. Might be interesting to do a run in one, but I don't see those of us with warehouses buying 100 of these things and having 20,000 clone sized plants going at a time

vostok · May 3, 2015

I do believe Volks garden sold their dream machine to Roto Grow, but many in the east have made their own at best using an old micro wave oven motor to rotate the drum, method is on youtube, but the way to go is the Grecian, Coliseum way, just don't forget to water proof the hps bulb fitting and the little bulb net, to prevent fires ...lol

ps. Best I've seen was made of stacked truck tires, stack 6-7 high on 1x 600w hps
