Taking it Outside

Looking good all around bro. With the sf restriction in Butte co, you might give some thought to a light dep greenhouse that you can pull 2-3 harvests a year from, not just one full season grow. Just something to think about. Best of luck to both of you..

Thanks DJJ....I do have the greenhouse split in half right now, with half being tarped off for the light dep. It's extremely janky looking right now but it's doing the job. After the 3 girls that are in the light dep finish, I'll tear it all down the tarps and build something a little easier to operate and more permanent.

But since I have your attention....I wanted to ask you, how thick is the clear plastic you use for your carports? Should I do 2 mil or 4 mil do you think?

We did get the soil mixed and cooking for the raised boxes, I'll add another round of ferts and perilite and give it another mix before they go into the boxes. I'm getting ready to buckle down and build the rest of the boxes this weekend.

6mil plastic will work short term but won't last full season. I have been using these reinforced clear tarps they last for years...http://costlesstarps.com/

appreciate that man and thanks for checking out the grow...... We really do love our spot and we got some primo garden areas that I'm trying to put some work into...so over the next couple years I'm hoping to have about 1/3 of the 10 acres growing something.

damn....found some nanners on lower interior branches, definitely stress related...Bittersweet. I was really pissed at first, but now I'm pretty happy to have some Femmed seeds and keep the genetics going.

Found them on both of the Ohio Lemon Hazes, none on the Best of... though.

What kinda stress u think caused the nanners

Pretty sure they are close to maxing out what they can do in the 5 gal containers. Im switching nutes to see what we can do to fatten them up. I hope i can get them to finish before they get too root bound

1 week in the greenhouse and the full season girls started stretching like crazy!!!

They're new homes are almost ready, still gotta get a layer of river rock down for drainage, then final mix for the dirt (add perilite, dr. earths organic ferts, homemade compost) and fill.

I think the boxes turned out pretty nice considering they were made with 100% recycled, repurposed, or reclaimed wood from around my property. (props to Floral collectives' safari sativa , got me droppin alliterative synonyms like a thesaurus)

Next up getting the canopy supports built, and getting the greenhouse top up.

Also in the news.......

Bre (English mastiff) caught a lizard & she was disappointed when he died. Oops

I think that she thought the lizard would start running again if she stared at him long enough.
