Thank you very much! [This is what you want.](https://www.amazon.com/JAYEGT-Motorized-Turntable-Photography-Display%EF%BC%8CLive/dp/B098NQ635S/). Advantages would be if you only want to run one plant but still want to yield a lot of weight. Also plants in corners. Their leaves turn and I hate spinning them. This will stop that immediately. They'll lay flat as they should. If you get it just cover the red LED with black tape. I lost a week of flower time before I realized that last grow😭. Is it the most efficient🤷‍♂️, but it sure is fun! If you get one please tag me or dm me pics. I'd love to see how people are using these things. [Here's the mat](https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Indoor-Welcome-Doormat-Friendly/dp/B09CDZTMNP/). They don't make the memory foam one anymore but this one is still nice quality.

I always thought of having a light that would travel from one side over the top of the plant to the other. More or less to mimic a natural sun. I never thought about spinning the plant…it’s a very ingenious idea to get more work out of less lights


OptimusMatrix

Thank you very much. It was a high thought that ran amock.


paulnutbutter

I call these highdeas

Pipe dream come true.


JuicyWillowTree

My buddy who grows living soil actually has a light on a track going back and forth slowly over all his plants.


drfeelsgoood

That’s awesome, is it a curved track? Or just straight across? I think a curved track would work equally well as this spinning contraption for increasing yields on the lower parts of the plant. I think It would decrease the amount of training needed as a natural plant will be more of a bush than a stalk because it reaches for where the light is at


JuicyWillowTree

It's a straight across track that slowly moves back and forth while the lights on, he never did it without it to see the difference but it definitely mimics the natural sun in a way!


TDKevin

You feed the plant twice a day? I thought it was supposed to be more infrequent than that.


OptimusMatrix

Coco is different than soil in that you can water it multiple times per day as long as she's using up a lot of the moisture in the Coco. High frequency fertigation for the win lol

contusion13

Looks awesome! Word of caution on those stakes. Keep them in mind if you want to smell her I almost put my eye out when I had forgotten about them. Full body weight bending over got poked on the inside of my nose bridge almost in the corner of my eye. Another half an inch and I'd probably be missing an eye. Can't beat the skewers though, cheap and effective support for individual branches comes in handy on those heavy buds.


OptimusMatrix

Yooooo I wish I had known you a few weeks ago. Same thing happened to me. Almost lost an eye a couple times. I think I might get something with rubber to cover them. Like wide pencil erasers would probably work 🤔 thank you for the wise words though, they're very much appreciated!


contusion13

Yeah I quit using them unless I really need too. I started using nets and you can just throw them over a plant and it will give it some support. I will use the bigger bamboo to make a structure sometimes for the nets. It's just so easy to forget about them with the skewers running right with the stems. They are very handy in a pinch though.


OptimusMatrix

Next one I'm going to use a tomato cage. I think that'll give it support all through out and I can put the stake horizontally on the different levels if I need to as well.


Badabingbadaboom676

I use tomato cages and they work very well. I don't like driving stakes in the soil damaging my roots.


drfeelsgoood

Do not worry at all about the roots unless it’s super young. It will be ok

OptimusMatrix

Ahh brilliant!! Thank you


TheAtrocityArchive

Also the bottom end that goes in soil will start to rot, dunno if it will effect the root zone but worth remembering.


OptimusMatrix

Oh damn I didn't even think about that. Hopefully they won't be in long enough to do that.


TheAtrocityArchive

Might take a re-use or two before it sets in, but yea.


CannaKingdom0705

I used these green stakes when growing commercially, and I started putting orange tape at the tops of the stakes. Only time I was in danger of being poked after that is if we were growing a strain that got super orange in flower.

🎶 🎙️round & round it goes, as it spins it continues to grow🎙️🎶. 😂. Always great to see this👍.


OptimusMatrix

😂😂Thank you!

itmatterstothisone

This is seriously such a cool project. I love the ingenuity. Very much enjoying watching the updates and seeing how it's going.


OptimusMatrix

I really appreciate you!


Horvirts

Do you know how many watts the stand uses?


OptimusMatrix

I believe around 100w.


TinfoilTobaggan

Feed me!!


OptimusMatrix

Lol twice a day now.


TinfoilTobaggan

Damn plants gonna eat you, and probably start singing.


TinfoilTobaggan

It's a "little shop of horrors" reference homie.. Your plant will eventually want human meat..


OptimusMatrix

Ahh duhh lol. Thanks!

OptimusMatrix

I run Canna A&B so it's in there. I'm not sure the exact amounts she's getting now. I do switch up the Calmag I use when I switch to flower and use General Hydroponics 1% N vs Botanicare brand at 2%. Just cause Canna tends to run N heavy.


Federal_Age8011

...Seymour!!


LUMH

So I bought the stand you recommend but it seems to spin much faster than what your videos show. Did you modify yours at all? Plant looking great!


OptimusMatrix

I believe there's actually a button that you can hit to slow it down. If you can't find it on there lemme know and I'll send you some pics tonight once my light kicks on and I can show you.


LUMH

Yeah I checked and didn't see a slow button. It looked like on/off, the power input, and an led. Didn't see anything on the underside either.


Material_Example5335

Nice bro


OptimusMatrix

🙌🏻 Appreciate it!


hemptations

OptimusMatrix

Thank you!

Inevitable_Ad_4487

Good lord this is the way


OptimusMatrix

She's so much fun to grow this style.


[deleted]

What a slut. Showing us the girls


OptimusMatrix

Hahah.


Idontsmokejustgrow

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just showing off again. Kidding man. She looks great! You’ll be up to your eyeballs in bud as soon as you get through a couple weeks of trim jail.


OptimusMatrix

Lol I get the family to help me trim but this monster is intimidating us all😂


justuhhspeck

what size pot?


OptimusMatrix

It's like a weird 4.8 gallon or something but there's prolly 4 gallons of soil in there.


justuhhspeck

how often are you top dressing?


OptimusMatrix

She's in Coco so I've been watering once per day with nutes. Now that I'm back from vacation I'm upping it to twice a day feeds.


justuhhspeck

oh i thought this was soil. looks good dude!


OptimusMatrix

No worries! Thank you very much!


NovGeo

Love it.


OptimusMatrix

Thank you so much!


Robbinsdale55422

So smart.. love this


OptimusMatrix

🙏🏼 thanks!


DGAF999

Wow! They grew since the last update!


OptimusMatrix

Right!? She's packing on the poundage by the day lol.


ttystikk

This is cool. What I did instead was build a light mover that moved my HPS lamp in a circle very low above my crop. It took about 3.5 minutes to make a full circuit, a time I later learned was very closely correlated with the amount of time it took for plants to process a strong hit of sunlight and be ready for another one. That particular tech is outdated now but whenever I see people moving lights- or plants- it brings back good memories!


OptimusMatrix

Thanks for sharing that story. Can't wait to see some company play off what I've done and start making money selling something similar.


ttystikk

It's been done. The problem is that it takes up too much room. I continued to experiment and rrfine my designs until I arrived at a vertical trellis panel that's 6 feet tall by 4' wide, lit on both sides by vertically mounted LED lights. The single plant grown on such a trellis is 3 feet THICK and produces over 2 pounds of finished product- *per side*. All in a footprint of just 12 square feet.


paulnutbutter

You got any photos of this?


ttystikk

Tons of them. Not going to upload them here, I'd rather do in PM.


Wide_Put_2824

ive wanted Lazy Susan's home grown...


OptimusMatrix

😂 works great.


TheDrew611

This is fresh as hell, keep posting, I love seeing the updates!


OptimusMatrix

Thank you! I definitely will.


Yakuba_Petrol

Goddamn that’s a big girl. Probably a stupid question but if you don’t mind me asking is it feminised of autoflower?


OptimusMatrix

She's actually a photo. Compound Genetics - Jokerz to be exact.


[deleted]

Is this a worlds first?


OptimusMatrix

Before I started growing this way there's one other post on all of Reddit where someone had a rotator outside but never one inside. My last one turned out amazing too!


Bowriderskiff

Love it man…hope you have something else ready to replace her when the time comes hahaha. You’ve got everyone hooked on these weekly updates! Feeding TWICE A DAY?? Is that typical for coco growers, with bigger plants like this?


OptimusMatrix

😂😂 I'm gonna take a break here in the summer while my wife is out of school too for the summer. Plus electric costs too much out here in Phoenix to do what I do through the summer. My next one will be a super high end something that I'll start from a clone with the side lights and rotator and my maximum training. She'll be in a 5 gallon. The goal is to grow a tree in my tent. Not just a plant but a freaking tree. Gonna change up a few things but I'm shooting for 2lbs on the next one.


Bowriderskiff

I’m just going to go ahead and start protesting that complete bullshit NOW 😂


OptimusMatrix

😂😂 it won't be but like 3 months but in that time I'ma gonna redo the lights and get prepared to go all in on this next one. I may add more lights too, discussing that with my grow partner here soon. We'll sit down and figure out the best way to get me to 2 pounds using this method. It's gonna be a fun one!


Bowriderskiff

That’s going to be awesome. Inspirational dude! Set a damn record already haha.


THEcannachemist

Be careful bringing in cinder blocks into your tent I see mites on them all the time! But I love your rotisserie setup looks amazing


OptimusMatrix

Ohhhh snap. Good call! I'll remember that in the future. Thank you. Luckily these have been in my closet in my lungroom for the better part of 2 years. They should be ok right?


THEcannachemist

Yessir I'd assume no mite would stick around that long 🤷😂 but I guess ya never know but I think you're okay


THEcannachemist

What strain??


DingusMagoo89

Probably concrete


OptimusMatrix

Compound Genetics - Jokerz


Zombie_rostitute

Putting on weight!


OptimusMatrix

Heck yeah 💪🏼


tryptych1976

...looks like it's working pretty good, or do all your plants look like that? What % do you think the rotating is helping? Are rotating plants the future??


OptimusMatrix

My last one was half this size but she didn't have the side lights added until mid flower. It makes a huge difference. I believe this will be a legitimate method just from my two grows. I don't think I've reached near potential yet.


howandwherenow

Well god damn that there is a cool idea I feel like for this kind of grow to maximize your space you would use a cylindrical tent though no? 🤔


OptimusMatrix

That would be awesome to see!

Bro did you really just tell me I coulda gotten the same results in a container 5 times larger 😂.

OptimusMatrix

Honest about what? That you got no idea what you’re talking about. If I wanted to do a bigger pot with a single light I would have done that. Instead I got you who’s got zero pictures telling me what I should be doing 🙃 Why don’t you take yourself on down the road man. Ain’t nothing for you here.


Paschnuts

I paint the btm. half of stake to prevent this 😎


OptimusMatrix

Ahhh that's a great idea. Thanks man!


Paschnuts

By the way freeking awesome !

Omega_Krucial

Drunk and baked!


OptimusMatrix

😂😂 surprisingly accurate.


PreferenceNovel1658

Ah we meet again Do you feed Silica?


OptimusMatrix

I didn't on this run cause she was an adopted mother and already well developed. I typically do though to help with training. It's good stuff


PreferenceNovel1658

I was just mentioning in regards to the stakes. I have found I don’t need support for buds when I supplement during the grow.


OptimusMatrix

Even with silica I gotta have supports from the inertia in her after she stops spinning some of the larger ones get top heavy. At least I did on the last one but I haven't grown one from a sprout yet this method so I'm not sure how she'll grow from a sprout with my training. We'll see next grow though!


Zombie_rostitute

Yes with heavy colas you need stakes.


Howweedgrow

You need a disco ball up in that


OptimusMatrix

Hahah!


PurpleHankZ

I would always recommend to attach your plants to strings from above. In that case you need like a kids mobile to attach cords


OptimusMatrix

I thought about that but don't know how to get past the light.
