Inteli 3.5 Light mover
Hi, Im using an inteli 3.5 light mover in my 6ft x 4ft grow area. I do have 3 bulbs, all HPS (2x600)+(1x400). Now, i did have the two 600's on the rail but to be honest it didnt seem worth it as they would only move a few inches and back again, i didnt wanna leave them at either end 'static' neither so what i have done is leave 1x600w on the rail to move back and forth, I have a 400w lowbay which stands vertically at one end and the remaining 600w i have is hanging from the side, this seems to work ok, ideally i would like to come out of the attic entirely as its very small in terms of height and moving about is tricky.
Question is, am i making the best use of the light available? I will post a picture tomorrow when the lights are on, so please can u check back then with your idea's and opinions.
I was thinking of a XL budtent, that way i guess i could get the most from my light rail.
By the way, are light rails worth it, I understand yields per sq ft are generally the same (if u used a 1000w on a light rail the yield per sq ft would be the same as a static 1000w, however since your light mover enables the bulb to cover more area u would have a slight increase in yield 'overall' )?
Now if i brought a 2m X 2m X 1.2m bud tent could i do away with the 400w and expect to yield the same as my grow currently, (shall be using the same plants).
I guess i need the pictures up asap, will do... Please check backbillybob500 Reviewed by billybob500 on . Inteli 3.5 Light mover Hi, Im using an inteli 3.5 light mover in my 6ft x 4ft grow area.
