The Screenhouse 2012

Tight let's see the inside of the screenhouse broseph + reeeeeeepppppppp
Looks big like what I am gonna do this year

Hi Joe, thanks I was just getting ready to do a post on the screenhouse aka the budworm destroyer haha

Yeah fuck those budworms here is a little greenie I use

Last year was pretty crazy, I never stop learning things about growing, and I certainly never stop encountering new problems lol We built the screenhouse during veg of the 2011 season because after my first two grows years ago, we realized we simply could not grow in this area unless we managed the budworm situation. Only solution: build structure that wont allow moths and butterflies to even lay their eggs on your plants! So I went all out and did it. And that problem was taken care of, 100% success no caterpillars! Warning though the screenhouse was a bitch to build, well putting the netting on was ridiculous haha and it was pretty expensive. Theres always something else to worry about though in the outdoors. Last year my plants got either some form of mosaic virus or leaf blight/septoria/rust in mid flowering, I believe some form of mosaic is the culprit. For the most part the flowers were not affected except for like 2-3 plants, and the harvest was still great, but no doubt it affected the health of all the plants but some plants were much worse than others. I fear I may have to battle it again this year it appears out of nowhere, but it aint gonna stop me from growing hell no . Last year I had 18 plants in 30&45 gallon smartpots, I didnt like the smartpots. Im lazy too so i've yet to put a real door on the structure yet, gonna do that soon. The structure is about 20'x18'

Very nice bro, yours looks pretty stealthy too. Its soo nice to not have to worry about the caterpillars huh? like I said I wouldnt be able to grow w/o taking major losses if I didnt build this thing. Spraying with bt can only do so much in my area.

Dude nice!!! That thing is titties
So here is my insight use tricoderma hazrioum 22 (t-22) it will help with any and all issues of a fungal nature
Now also soil drench and foliar with Bt bacteria to protect aginst bad Bactria too .
I use both on everything I grow just cuz then I know what is in my riosphere.
Mosaic I'd guess is not the culprit unless you had massive leaf drop I think it is lockout from underwatering it happens so fast with smartpots outside <<< just a guess from ten years of this
Now I say if your sure it is a blight or virus ditch all the dirt and chop up the floor of the screenhouse fiveinches down and import new soil from a local composter....
Just my .02 I grew tobacco right next to my cannabis and it destroyed the gnats and anything else that messes with Mary Jane tobacco is good and bad for carrying blights too... As well as tomatos

Joe, tobacco can cause -tobacco mosaic virus- which can infect other species. I've seen it decimate an entire five acres of zucchini. The mosaic virus doesn't cause leaf drop. It twists, contorts, and causes minor looks of variagation in the leaves, and virtually puts a stop on all flowers.


I've actually got one over here with it.(BSB/mosaic virus) I believe it happened at transplant, I was smoking a cigar at the time and mustve spat apiece of tobacco into the soil. And that's all it takes. You don't think the tobacco companies are going to remove the affected product do ya ?

Zig, nice tuff goin down. Do what ya do.

I like your screen roll down happening over there too joe.
Wasnt no attack or anything.
