if you turn them too much thou you will end up with christmas trees shaped plants that need a little more space. sorry if you accounted for that already.. i did it this attempt too and i need to do alot of pruning to keep things in the light. i am probly gonna overlap my shelfs a little this time and add a net or screen and not turn. but its your grow your show.. take car bro good luck and vibes.

i m going to cut the bottoms to clone anyways, so that will leave just the top 3 or 4 nodes
shouldnt be too much of a problem, but mine arent going to get as big as yours were - i m using 1 gallon bags and the clones are only 6-8 inches

i couldnt really use a screen, because i mean how the hell would i? lol first i would have to hang it all, then remove it every time to water?

i dont see why you couldnt just use more plants and smaller containers - solves the height/size issue
i do understand if you are worried about plant numbers

there is also a somewhat large mother/clone room with this grow, the numbers are very very high anyways - hence 7 or 8 hundred plants in the flowering room arent going to make any difference

pics coming soon

very cool..I'll just take a seat here in back with my :lurk: on if ya don't mind..
 
the screen or net has 4 inch openings you could put your wand throu to water or whatever. you dont have to remove it each time its mostly to keep the plants from tumbling over. i had taller plants because i cut off all the lower growth 3 days before the flip and 1 week after the flip i also kept just branches or growth shorter than inch and half. but your plants will strech to max the light. with that many plants close together they tend to strech nomatter what anyways. my plants were tall but were only growing tops and branches that were thriving. the height of the plants dont change to much as long as you clip off the undergrowth and shaded crap.

i handwatered my last crop so the plants were turned too often but once a week wont be bad. but if you constantly turning the plants it will waste alot of energy turning itself towards the light back and forth... the leaf tops need to be hit with the light to produce energy and if your using the little energy your plant has to always be adjusting itself i just dont see the benift. im not against roating just not too often.

wish you the best bro cant wait to see it full.. cause i make my own clones my numbers are pretty high all the time as well..
