yeah heres another shot of it so you can see what I mean. Its fully automated, travels up, pauses, travels down, pauses. You can adjust the pause time as well.
I use a standard light mover motor, the screws in the 2x3" are the travel 'stops' so it travels a little over 2'

Thanks Marlo (and UP) and all contributor, for the great info. Finally finished reading the thread, now onto the "other" big vert thread
Ps: Zen Master; How did you make that DIY automated light mover!? Genius.
Is there a DIY thread for that, I love projects.
Thanks.

That's the same mover I've used Zen Master. The only thing I did different was to mount the pulleys further away from the rail and used two lights instead of one spaced about seven feet apart for two donuts.

A lot of really informative stuff here. Thanks to Marlo and everyone that as added their .02.
I'm running a 8 x 8 horizontal tent ATM. Reading through this thread has gotten me thinking(this could be dangerous). My tent has a support pole running in the center. I want to add more lights of mixed spectrum, but the support pole creates an obstacle when it comes to hanginn a hood. Question is can I hang a bare 1000w mh in the center of the room. I already have a doughnut going as I have to run a radiant heater at night. Im thinking of running a 6" booster fan on a speed controller underneath. I'm running 4kw air cooled (600+ cfm)and gonna be running exhaust at around 700 cfm. I have room for temps to rise a little +/-5°.
BTW...I'm just finishing stretch. Multi-strain strain grow
What you think? Thanks in advance-JR

I need some help with the vert-thinking...
I am curious about vert donut (scrog in a ring, eh?) growing the next round. Right now I have a 4'x4'x6'-box and a 600w hps.
How far from the bulb should the net be placed?
According to what ive seen 10-12 inches is "appropriate", but then again i dont wanna burn the ladies. And in all the threads it seems to be alot further away.
I cant find info about this distance... or maybe I just suck at searching.
Nice thread for sure! Gave me alot of inspiration

10 - 12 " sounds right
Hey Jimmy Row
I've never run any 1k's so I can't give much advice there. But you could have a nice donut running in that space with a 1k.
10-12" is probably the happy zone for my 6oo's also.

Marlo-i went ahead and hung it, found out my mh bulb would run vert or horizontal.
Looks like you got it crankin-great work
Modified an old bat wing hood with an angle grinder and a drill, and feel really comfortable with it.

I think you are right, and glad to hear you say that. Thx. This is my first time going bare, and didn't want to come out to a ring o fire in DA morn. Better safe than sorry. FYI...1KW mh bulbs are hot and bright (duh). Time to get some shades

I found a nice fan that can be tilted upwards for under 10€

Getting it in a few weeks, i'm hoping it will work well with my 150w HPS, seeing that it doesnt have a controller.

hey Marlo!
how did you make those stretched air pots work? ...or..... what did you do on the bottom of the pot ? are they stable enough to be moved?
