First grow 600watt on mover

:hump:New pic today 21 days flower, things are looking good I think. I gave them nutes at 1/4 strength yesterday and no burning today happy happy. Second and last pic is of A skunk so far the most advanced and the fourth and the fith is of my marijuana tree I have 3 that big. I feel slightly stupid i pulled them out of the room the other day and was shocked to see they are green it's just the light that makes them look yellowish so hence I took some pictures outside of the room today. How do you think I'm doing??? I am also thinking of starting my next batch from some seeds I have from some evon that morphed the pot was so good that I would'nt mind picking a couple seeds out but I also read about dutch master reverse and was wondering if any of you have used that with success I got about 20 seeds out of an O I bought from a buddy. Seeing how the seeds are from a morphed female are they feminized??? Or do I still have to sex them?? I love RIU lots of great info and great people makes for a good community. Happy New Year!!!

P.S. I have a nice camera but don't know how to get good close up shots. Which setting do you use?? I got a nikkon and it takes great pictures blows my last camera out of the water but too many options. Confused stoner needs help.

Turn your dial to the little flower (tulip) icon. It's for macro shots. You should have a steady hand because your flash SHOULDN'T go off on on a macro shot (to avoid a picture full of shadow)
 
A have to have if you ask me. It was 240 off ebay 190 for the mover and 50 for the robo stick stabalizer. I tried to use two 600's but it got too hot so I got rid of one light and got the mover, so far so good. I am pushing it on lighted space I think 4x7 area for the plants and I use the extra two feet for my extra dirt in a rubbermaid with my big fan on top of that. I think its a 4.5x4.5 for a 600 so I'm streching it. I'm new at this so maybe I'm wrong, every book says something different for area to wattage.
 
I hear ya. I dumped my light mover after having to keep the light so high to get the coverage I desired when the mover was on the opposite end. I really liked the mover but, would probably only do it again if I was running 2 movers! (offset)
 
One side of my room get fairly dark when the light is on the other side but it moves pretty fast and the plants seem to be doing just fine. I got that light 8-10 inches above the tops with 10 sec delay on each end. So I imagine they are getting lots of lumens.
 
How long does it take to go from 1 end to the other. Although the moving light helped some of the normally shaded spot grow, It was the issue of light concentration(during flowering) that made me uneasy. I simply unhooked the mover lifted the light a foot, and got a similar foot print. That of course is all depending on the reflector, lamp wattage, etc.
 
20-30 seconds from one side to the other, I only use a 3 foot rail. From what I understand it is better to have the light closer and moving than high and covering a bigger area, I had my light way up till a buddy corrected my and I did see faster growth from moving the light closer.
 
3 foot rail is nothing. I was moving my 1k HPS 6 feet, and it was taking several minutes to go from side to side. What are you thinking you will yield
 
I'm sure I'll get a pound. 1 and a 1/4 if I'm lucky. I got a ton of buddies doing this and I am alot more attentive than they are with their gardens. My expert buddy says I'll get atleast 3 O's of each of the big ones and 1-1/2 to 2 from the little guys closer to 2 he said. I really have no idea never doing this myself but my buddy that just chopped on his last harvest used a 600 in a 4x4 area and got 12 O's so I'm sure I'll beat that. I got a 6 foot rail I just chose to only use 3 feet of it. The 10 rpm motor runs faster than the 6 rpm motor on the light rails.
 
same here (I'll be watchin) I really want to invest in a light mover just for the simple fact you can use one 1k light for a good amount of plants and it moves like the sun side to side and it will get both sides of the plant for more yield I read about that no experience YET! I really like that idea.
 
Don, Honestly I wasn't super impressed with my light mover, no light concentration, leaving buds airy and light. but I definitely would try it again. I was moving a 1k 6 feet, which was way to far. I have pretty big reflector but I had to put the light so high to get the pattern I needed for ideal coverage. Having the light too close left one side in the dark. If I do it again, I will be using supplemental lighting as well.......
 
My light is super close to the tops. I'll post new pictures tonight at 8 or 9. I love the light mover as compared to friends that don't have one. I think you had yours too high wonderblunder. As my buds are'nt airy looking and I'm only 28 days 12/12, I'm a novice at growing and a professional at smoking and I can tell already that the a skunk is gonna be thick nasty nugs of happiness.
 
Yeah mr wonder thats my concern about the mover is what about the other side of crop when its dark will that effect them? I dont know that one but like you said getting 2 on a mover on oppisite sides -____- going towards each other I think will be the ultimate grow that sounds fantastic.
Yes goater I have high hopes on this one especialy since you moved the light closer and its doing fine I hope that works. Lets see those ladies
 
WE Shall see, I am very partial to light movers after my last run with 1. Not a whole lot of people seem to use the.........
