I suffered some damage here too.
The top of my greenhouse blew off, no big deal though I'm replacing the top this year anyways, and the carport greenhouse, well here's a picture of it.
The frame is anchored down or the carport would be in another county.
Not 100mph winds, but I've been here 10 years now and I've never seen winds like that before. Lost power for 19 hours yesterday, glad that's over now.

Note: Look at the tomato plant in pic 1 above the weed cage, that plant is close to 10 feet and still producing fruit. Great harvest this year in ALL of the garden.

All good here Fumble, thanks for asking, a couple trees down, and a HUGE branch from a GIANT oak I have came down on the fence, but a half a day work and a $100 dollar bill will fix that.
We'll talk more next Saturday (damn so close now) at the BBQ, you camping or just day picnicking?

Hey, a little late to the thread but I had a question regarding the drip system.
The problem I ran in to was that i had a set amount of gals for a set amount of plants per day..assuming around 30 plants 10 gals total w/soil. How would I design a drip system so that all plants would be watered evenly? I made a setup; however, i felt that some of my plants were getting watered more than the other. This is for about 30 plants with 10 gals and a decent pump.

I had to abandon the drip system. It didn't have enough volume for this size garden.
But to answer your question, the drippers at the end of the lines should regulate for you. I was using 1gph drippers. As long as they got water from the tank, they only allowed 1gph to reach the plant.
Now, I did noticed that a few of the drippers that were closer to the tank, started to drip a few seconds before the others, but I don't think is was significant. You could change some to 2gph drippers or add more drippers to the pots that need more. What you can do to check on volume is to place a pale under one of the closest drippers to the tank & the furthest & check for any difference.
Good luck bro, you might have to play with it a little, but you can get it dialed in.
peace

Hi Doublejj,
Your prompt, kind, and informative post to a last minute question makes this an excellent place to say thanks to you for all the help your postings have been to me with my first legal grow. Your polite, detailed, often repeated explanations to others helped me avoid a lot of things I know I would have otherwise experienced. Compared to yours, it's still "homegrown", but thanks to you, I'll have a greenhouse next year!
Kudos to you! A real smart guy and a class act!

I don't want to pile on, but JJ's the reason this weekends BBQ is going on. This guy is putting in tons of time and effort so this community can have a little get together and enjoy the fruits of our labors together.Hi Doublejj,

I see all these pictures of JJ in Mexico, building cabins in the middle of nowhere, with family dirt bike riding, fishing trips, and this is just what he says/posts on this forum, I can't imagine all the stories.
So I agree with Mountain Garden, looking forward to meeting this "dude" with all the good advise, adventuresome life, and all around good guy. Thanks for everything JJ, this weekends going to be a blast!

Hey, I really appreciate your brief and quick response!
The only reason I've considered a drip is because it is too tedious to water the plants one by one when there are so many of them. I felt that making it automated would make life easier.
Are there any other methods you might recommend?
