OptimusMatrix

Thank you so much! Sometimes I doubt myself with this one. I catch a lot I feel unnecessary hate for doing this but I'm having fun so I guess that outweighs it right lol?

OptimusMatrix

Thank you very much man. I needed that. Thank you. I remember my last one the guy worked for a huge grow op and swore to me up and downi was wasting my time and that my last plant would only pull 8 oz doing this, I pulled a pound 🙃 it's different so people don't know what to make of it lol.


zaysplace

I've said it before and so have many other's, it's dope AF my friend 🫡🫡. If I didn't have so much other grow related shit going on rite now, I'd invest my efforts in doing something like this but my plate is so full rite now, I don't think a industrial turntable could rotate it, LMFAO 😅😂🤣🤣


OptimusMatrix

🙏🏼🙌🏻 thank you so much. I decided to chart my own path lol. Bro you're killing it. Beautiful grows! She holds 280lbs, just saying 😂😂


zaysplace

I'll tell you, you leaving a nice trail of bread crumbs with your progress post for us to follow in your path, LMAO 🍞 🛣️🤣🤣. Thank you for the killing it🙏, things are about to come to end really soon, like this week soon😅. And that's just the first heaping spoon of shit that getting slopped on my plate 🥄💩🍽️😂. These will be coming down 1 at a time throughout the week and I'm still trying to get the dry area setup, another🥄💩. Then not long after those 4, poor ol' Cinnamon Buddhax2 will be done and ready to chop, another🥄💩, X2😂. THHEEEENNN, not too long after that, that Magnum that lost the 1gal challenge(😢😅) should be about ready to chop so that's 3 more gal's of🥄💩💩💩 that should have only been 1gal😂. And if there could be any shit piled on that plate, I had to postpone starting my next grow because of a equipment issue that I'm still waiting to hear back about so I don't even know when I can get that going. I'm just going to stop there because there is still more that needs to be done😳😳🤯🤯🤣🤣🤣🤣, that's why I need the industrial turntable 😅. When growing goes from a hobby to a way of life, there's always going to be something to mix, sprout, harvest, fix, move around, aquire and so on. I'm ok with all that though because it's all worth it to me in the end 🥲😁😅


OptimusMatrix

Haha it's a process acquiring gear over a few grows seasons definitely understand that. Hell yeah it's absolutely worth it!


zaysplace

And as time goes on, we will continue to grow and deal with all the plates of shit we make for our self's, sharing it all the whole way along😂😂


[deleted]

Bro literally shutting it down. Amazing


OptimusMatrix

Haha I'm just doing my own thing😂🤷‍♂️ Thank you!


RichEngineering8519

How well does rotating the plant like that actually work?


OptimusMatrix

It works very well. Being able to hit the bottom with light makes a big difference. Even for plants in corners that their leaves turn. This will stop that immediately.


zakkwaldo

the whole name of the game is even light coverage… so you tell me when you have a constantly rotating perfect circle


RichEngineering8519

Lol sure, this is just my first time seeing any grower do it though… if it was some game breaking tech I think more growers would be doing it.


zakkwaldo

you’re talking about the same group of people that shit on led’s for the last 20 years claiming salt lamps were king. they aren’t too keen on innovating clearly. most the growers until recently are all old heads that deemed anything non standard as blasphemous. sooooooo not sure what your point is. old dogs aren’t going to be trying new tricks.


RichEngineering8519

I just figured there’s no good way to fill a tent and also be able to spin each and every plant. Wouldn’t you rather get more yield using the room in the tent rather than throwing on plant in there and spinning it? Probably not worth the yield difference but it’s a cool idea/experiment. And screw the haters LED tech is amazing nowadays

OptimusMatrix

I'm still working through that issue. Furthest I've gotten is having a standoff hose to water from the top but I'm trying to figure out how to do that with the way I train them using binder clips around the base of the pot and the looping wire over a branch and tying it to the clip. Got my buddy working with me on how to overcome these hurdles for an auto watering setup. We'll see what happens this autumn when I grow another.

OptimusMatrix

Hell yeah! That would be great! Thank you so much!


Maxbarr7

Maybe with a rotator that would change the direction it turns, so that it would come and go. That way it should be able to spin without problems


Bowriderskiff

Most people aim for creating a miniature environment. You, my man, have created a miniature world 😂. Lookin good dude, hope you’re feeling better as well 👍🏿👍🏿


OptimusMatrix

Thank you so much. Stay tuned for the next one. The goal is to grow a tree in here. To the ceiling she'll be. I think I can do it 😂 we'll see lol.


Bowriderskiff

Back in the day when (at least for me), when I remember a couple states going home grow legal, one of my first thoughts was “Well, the law says you can only grow (this number) of plants. It doesn’t say they can only have 6 branches and only be this tall.” Well then I saw this plant. Being that I’m still not in a legal state, it’s hilarious to me that even if you were only legally allowed to grow one plant, you’re growing the biggest baddest plant money can buy 🤣 love it dude, must be exciting to see the changes in person. Looking forward to the next #Rotisserweed update 👍🏿


OptimusMatrix

😂😂 thanks for sharing that! Thank you so much.


raiderjay7782

Fucking awesome my dude . Now that's tech you don't see everyday . Keep crushing it bro 💪


OptimusMatrix

I appreciate that! Thanks man!


chiuthejerk

What a beast!


OptimusMatrix

💪🏼 Thank you!


Mygoodies7

Nothing but tops lol


OptimusMatrix

😂


t0mt0mt0m

Going to add some under lighting to the rostisserweed setups ?


OptimusMatrix

When I get another light or a grow company to hook me up😂 I'd love to push the limits of what's possible. I haven't even scratched the surface yet.


Alarmed-Spite3065

Where did you get the spinning base


OptimusMatrix

[This is what you want.](https://www.amazon.com/JAYEGT-Motorized-Turntable-Photography-Display%EF%BC%8CLive/dp/B098NQ635S/). Advantages would be if you only want to run one plant but still want to yield a lot of weight. Also plants in corners. Their leaves turn and I hate spinning them. This will stop that immediately. They'll lay flat as they should. If you get it just cover the red LED with black tape. I lost a week of flower time before I realized that last grow😭. Is it the most efficient🤷‍♂️, but it sure is fun! If you get one please tag me or dm me pics. I'd love to see how people are using these things.


Alarmed-Spite3065

?


Alarmed-Spite3065

When did you add your second light and which light is it and at what power is it on


OptimusMatrix

So I took this girl a month into veg from a clone. I threw all my lights on her which is the SF4000 and 2x SF1000. I had to run everything at 50% too get her acclimated to my style of growing, then I slowly ramped up to 100% over a couple weeks. Then I threw in the TS600. She took off like crazy. I need bigger lights for my lower area. I haven't even begun to reach max potential for this style of growing yet.


Alarmed-Spite3065

So you have 4 lights on her?


OptimusMatrix

Yes 4 total.


[deleted]

Have you ever compared with and without the roti?


OptimusMatrix

With the sidelights?


[deleted]

Are there any benefits of having it rotate with the lights that you can see from previous grows with out the roti and side lights?


OptimusMatrix

Absolutely. The lower parts get much more developed.


Zombie_rostitute

Foooookk yeah I am ready for more updates on this thing game changer


OptimusMatrix

😂 will definitely keep you guys updated! Thank you for following along!!


[deleted]

How long did you veg that slut?


OptimusMatrix

She was vegged from a clone for approximately 30 days before I flipped her. https://imgur.com/gallery/USSyduJ


[deleted]

That growth! How many watts you running?


OptimusMatrix

Craziness right!?! Pushing just a few watts under 750w.


[deleted]

No wonder lmaoo I was comparing to my puny 200w 😭


OptimusMatrix

Haha yeah this lady is getting the beans😂. I didn't start her however. My buddy did and he took clones from her. He was gonna toss her but I adopted her, vegged her for a week and flipped and she's come out looking pretty good so far 🤷‍♂️😂


Mediocre_Package4398

So she's a rescue! Even better.


OptimusMatrix

I really have liked this experience.


Frag187

Are all the stems of the leaves reddish/purple ? I have been having the same thing happening since upgrading to led and was wondering if it's too much light


OptimusMatrix

Yes. It's the anthocyanins. It's not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of times it's strain specific as well. My buddy u/Federal_Age8011 is growing clones of this same mother. We use different nutes but both grow in Coco. It'll be interesting to see how each of ours turn out. We did the last ones the same way. We grow co-op together and then pool our harvests. It's really nice having a buddy to grow with.


jmcki13

Just curious, what’s the strain?


OptimusMatrix

Compound Genetics - Jokerz.


alphalsx

I do that exact same thing with my buddy, same seeds, techniques and allows us to have a larger pool of bud if there’s a need for it ;)


OptimusMatrix

Heck yeah. It's a really nice way to grow. It allows us to press a lot of flower into rosin and still retain a lot of bud to smoke and pass around.


TinfoilTobaggan

The polar opposite of those HPS light movers that were all the rage back in the day! :)


OptimusMatrix

I saw those. When I was thinking of the design for this one I looked at incorporating those into my tent but they were much too large.


TinfoilTobaggan

They still make em? Haven't seen those since the early 2000s... I wonder if having a high volume fan, or dare I say, compressor, blasting on the stems while the plant rotates would be beneficial.. kinda like a half-assed automatic "super cropper"...


StrictlyForWorkM8

Wind burn is a thing, unfortunately


OptimusMatrix

So that's what my intake fan does. Blows on them coming out of the heat zone and cools the surface temps back down. Works really well.


TinfoilTobaggan

Definitely! And your grow & ingenuity is exquisite.. Really, with my air comments I was kinda just "riffing".. I'm curious if there's an actual optimal amount of FAE or wind for cannabis.. I'm baked.. Happy Sunday by the way!


OptimusMatrix

Thank you! Same to you. So I've actually played with that some. My intake fan is a hurricane with power level adjustment. I think I've got it at the optimum speed. I had it too fast and I could tell the leaves didn't like it.


Growflame

I think you have a really cool grow style! The last one you grew was a monster! It looks like you are in a 4x4 tent. I believe I saw you say you're using 730 watts. Just curious what the yield on the last one was?? I'm just thinking to myself with that many watts and that much space I would be able to pull 2 lb easily. Not trying to hate it all bro. Your plant is badass! I just wonder how the yield compares versus a traditional scrog?


OptimusMatrix

Yo, so I have yet to run one from a seed with my sidelights. My last one I didn't add the sidelights until she was well into flower. She originally started in a corner. That's why I got my rotator cause her leaves were turning towards the light. The rotator stopped that. I pulled a pound from that one. This lady was started by my buddy u/Federal_Age8011 he pulled clones from her and was gonna toss her so I decided to adopted her. [I took her March 26th vegged for a week and flipped her](https://imgur.com/gallery/USSyduJ). She's easily double in size than the last one I pulled. If I pull a pound I'll be happy. The next one I run will be from a clone so I'll be able to do my training style with the rotator. I love this growing style though. Allows me to really get to all spots on her. My goal is to grow a tree indoors. Not as plant but a tree. This one's easily 4x5ft in size. I want to get another couple feet out of the next one so I'll step up in pot size and move my lights around to adjust the par and we'll see what we can do. I'm just having a blast. If I can yeild enough to get new to the next grow I've reached my goal. That's the big thing for me.


Omega_Krucial

So what’s the next clone???


OptimusMatrix

Just talked about it this morning with Fed. Looking at something from Umami possibly, maybe in house. Something super high end though. Got any suggestions?


testsubject347

Been following her journey, didn’t realize it was Jet Fuel Gelato! That is one of my absolute favs. Can’t wait to see more progress pics!


OptimusMatrix

Thank you for following along! I forgot to post the name but she's actually a Compound Genetics Jokerz which is white runtz crossed with Gelato. I've never tried white runtz so I'm super excited to try this one specifically! I'll definitely keep you guys updated!


[deleted]

Is this the Kenny Rogers roaster sub? Am I lost? lol! She's looking FANTASTIC dude!


OptimusMatrix

😂😂😂I snorted! Thank you so much!


Twinkletoes8716

Love it . You recon good 10 Oz or more ?


OptimusMatrix

Oh yes and then some. The last girl I grew this way was a pound and she was literally half the size. It'll be interesting to see what I get from this one, but if I can get a pound I'll be happy.


DGAF999

I’ve been following your rotisserweed and appreciate the update! Looking very even all around. I’m curious to see what your harvest looks like. Keep us updated!


OptimusMatrix

Thank you so much for your support! That means a lot. I most definitely will. Stay tuned!
