Why did you initially start using the mover? Temps?
Because I am a motherf**king hustler! You better ask somebody... LOL!
You can increase your sqft with a mover. And plants get way more intense light; albeit intermittently.
i.e. A 1000w bulb over a 4'x6' 12" above canopy. 50% more area but only about 20% more yield. But as the bulb goes past the light "digs" into the canopy with ferocity from many angles. Bye bye larf.
I call that a success.
I will be experimenting with about 20W per sqft with pulses of 50W per sqft in the near future.
I theorize that short bursts of intense light produce just as much as constant strong light.
I am all about getting energy usage down will yielding the same. So I experiment constantly.

Ninja Please... I like the way you think Mush you are on to something. The sun changes position and clouds do come into play for varing light intensity. I always wonder if lunar cycles of varying low light have effects as well. Food for thought for as they say in Miami Happy Sangsgiving mang!
Exactly. If you vary the angle of light it reaches the whole plant. I love watching the inside of the canopy as bulbs go past. Some crazy amounts of photons getting in there.
I will have to look into that.
How far away do you keep a 1k if it's not on a mover?
Some strains handle 24". OG closer to 3ft.
Hey btw Rainbow Kush = Master Kush x Hindu Kush
But no Idea how that plant came from that stock. It's so gasy like sour D. But parents aren't. Who knows? I love it regardless of shady origins.

I use cutting Edge as a base. Cheap. Clean. Then I feed traces and CalMag in massive amounts! OG's love mag.
No I grow in flood trays primarily. The wall was an experiment. I have a new facility in the works. And bare bulbs are hard to beat!
It's all about efficiency for me.
I want plants to produce in the shortest possible time with the least amount of energy.
Been "living" in my R&D facility. Practicing new techniques. And crushing it left and right!

So here is the "Top Stop" pruning technique again. It is defoliation of the 3 fans closest to the growth tip. The tip stops growing and the plant pushes lowers. It bushes out fast. And growth does not stunt like it would topping.
This is Road Warrior. Ultimate SOG plant she just refuses to branch.
The First is normal growth. I swear she would get 6 ft tall without any side growth LOL!!
Well that's great and all but it's a bitch if you want to make clones.
This plant was "Top Stopped" just once. NOT topped. Clones galore gents!!
