[tech1234]

Hey do you guys think its worth the effort to rotate my 65gal SP's in my greenhouse grow? They are def favoring certain sides...

I'm going to be supporting them with hortitrellis hung from the rafters so this is my last chance to turn them before they are permanent.

Do they have roots coming out of the bottom? Are they rooted to the ground?

Yes, slightly rotate. Sunlight changes it's pattern after solstice- it would behoove you to turn containers for uniformity.

no because I have them raised on non-organic platforms

Quarter turn a day is best.

I had one chance and spun m 100gal containers around. I did 180 degrees but I also had to move them in the hoophouse. I could definitely tell by the lean of the plant and mass of the South side.

I'd do it. 20' nylon to strap, $20 is what did it for us. And a lotta fucking muscle.

If you put them on casters it is easy as hell

If they are available, are there anything like a lazy susan that you could mount to a ply wood mount on either side so that you can move with a couple fingers?

Agree! Slight turn every few days...nothing drastic....just fluid motion.
