Man had a ruff night.. Nasty stabbing pains in gut n throwing up.. Hope it's not shiva punishing me for putting the air pots together upside down lmao swear tho it read to put the no hole rows on bottom? Stoners lol
Siftedunity, Harry welcome & thanks!
I'm pretty sure it was due to being pot bound 10cm pot for 6 weeks maybe lol and due to being switched from organic to mineral. Plus ph of root zones been pug whack few times.
Abit super thrive for potting up is awesome.. These girls didn't get such goodness as I potted up.
Link doesn't work for me even copied n pasted link gets me to no vids uploaded screen, can ya embed it?

Oh my browser then ok cheers.
There's a couple reasons really.. Keeps me more busy, only one light on at time, recycle heat when it gets cold as always one light burning.. Getting used to it for when I go full flippy. Other main reason I smoke eat lots of weed as do my partner. We found we were running out everytime before out next harvest so makes sense all round really.

Flip/Flop
In this case means you've only got one 600 bulb on at any one time.....But you are still flowering 1200watts!
Every growing area has a limit to the amount of lamps it can handle with a given ventilation system, by folwering one setup in the day and one at night you are only ever running 600 watts at once, halving your extraction needs!
This only works with plants on 12/12 obviously

Sorry to go on but I find this Flip/Flop idea really interesting.
With the right switching relays you can for instance have two tents setup in on area on the same single balast. How it works is.... with a switch/relay on the balast-to-lamp output and two lamps conected but only one will light at a time - the Flip/Flop
. Has to be the right kind of relay though
You can also cover larger areas with Filp Flop systems switching between multiple lights in the same room, takes a bit to get your head around. Much more common in the US of states.

Recycling heat sounds a good idea. interested to see how you set fans and duct up to move it one way then another.
not sure how 2 lamps flippin yields more than 2 on at the same time...
electric costs are a concern at mi place. off peak at nite is about a third of the cost

Update time.
Things are going smoothly im not in the gardens as much as id like but nonetheless im happy with the systems so far, the PH has stabled so i set once and it drifts from 5.8 to 6.2 in about 4 days.
This is the left room as you can see theres been abit of growth and the twogs has done as expected and overgrown the 2 blues lol and also got abit of light bleaching. I took these pics and switched to 12/12 yesterday i will clean the bottoms up more on the cheeses and keeps clones from the blues.. i will bend n tie down the twogs and leave the suckers on these until 2 1/2 weeks into flower to not promote more stretch.
I know they will get cleaned up properly tonight but concidering they're looking ok.
