Carport GreenHouse 2011

Awww sounds great!!!!! I have been out for 4 days now

i was thinking of vegging medijuana indoors and flowering outside early spring in a make shift green house lol !

Hehehe medi I know who you have been talikng to lol Its a good idea if you are worried about electrcity costs and stuff, but I am an indoor girl all the way.........I am to anal about my babies to think anything can happen to them outdoors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now saying that I know there is no better light than the sun, nobody can argue with that, I would love to have a farm one day and have some huge trees on it hehehehehe and of course with my love of growing and nature will of course try an outdoor grow someday, when I do have the land, but for now I stay within my means and grow the dankest buds possible indoors and no matter what will never give up indoor growing

im on page 11,im so late in this thread lol..everytime i see threads with 200 pages i know its going to take forever to catch up,plus the new posts ha

Yay I have some grand daddy purp on the way

I've started indoors at the beginning of Feb. and vegged under 16 hr.s of light till mid March, flip 'em to 12 hr's light for a month and then put outdoors in mid April (when temps are sufficiently stable above freezing) and let 'em finish outdoors. Have nice fresh bud to harvest around the middle of May/June. Works like a charm!

Happy Holidays DoubleJJ to u an your family from mine!

GODDAMMIT Double j, you're gonna make me read two hundred pages aren't you. Ya gotta quit growing such interesting grows! Cutting into my drinkin time! (I'm from Indiana and can only do one thing at a time)

You have to be careful with that, we have 50 or so that we are veggin outdoors right now (2 Hid's from 730 pm until 8 am and then the sun all day) we wanted to flower them in April outdoors, but what you have to remember is that the winter equinox was a week ago, and the days are starting to increase and that could play into your flowering process,for example the plant will go into flower and probably stay there, but there lies a possibility that as the day and temps increase going into the spring, you could potentially hermy or end up with loose, non desireable, leafy, poor bag appeal buds that are not dense. Now, to counter that get your plants on a specific sun up to sun down time, and uncover/cover your greenhouse at the exact same time everyday. Pain in the ass to be married to a tarp and a greenhouse, but if you want to play that way, welcome to my world. We are planning on expanding our greenhouse and thinking of a auto roller for the tarp which would be on a timer. One of my patients suggested a green house that has sliding doors on top. This is from experience, and based on where Im at in relation to the eqautor, Im south, very south, near the Mexico border, and our lows at night are in the 40's, so what works for me maybe different for you, but I did want to throw that out there for anyone thinking of flowering outside this winter/spring.
Anyways good luck,
vdog

I tried to flower outside in the greenhouse in winter, but it was too cold & they didn't flower well. Frosty as hell, just no solid buds. I made hash out of it all.
I think it would have worked if I had some heat.

Good luck bro's

Greenhouse heat, yeah I would like to run the space heater @ night but for now....
60s day
40s night
65% humidity in greenhouse
30% humidity outside
space heater on standby for temps below 35
Plants seem to be buddn okay, sure is making pretty colors
stop by my journal again
You do realize double that for a good bounty of cali cloned genetics, we will come up to sac town and styro board wrap that cold frame you got in the backyard, you add a couple of space heaters, or even better HIDS and you know the rest of this story.
We have been picking up 4oow metal halides, this is bulb, reflector, & ballast for 20 bucks each. Got 250 hps for the same price. Used High bays and street lights, cheap and efficient sun, I bet we could get that there costco frame subframed and board wrapped in a day. Ofcourse then you could run well into Spring without frost, and then come next big plant time, remove the styroboard, if you did that I guarantee you would have plants bigger than you need.

Ps I will raise a cheer and wish good karma in everyones grow progress for my friends @ RIU on Saturday night around 11 pm.
Heres to a bountiful Harvest in '12

Thanks for the offer vdog, but I have a full basement too keep me busy all winter. I would love to see you some time this spring, do you ever get to NorCal?

I'll raise my glass to you brother, on New Years eve, salute'!

peace

Happy new year doublejj. Can't wait to see you do your thing this next year. My winter GH is going great 19 plants in 15 gallon grow bags, heating with a 30,000btu hanging shop heater, works great, plumbed it from the natural gas in my garage. I have next years GH in the garage 24x56 with 11 1/2 ceiling, can't wait. I started using house and garden nutes this year and I have to say its worth it, more bud sites and healthier plants.

Good news bro, I was wondering what you were up too! You know I'm keeping an eye on your grow.
If my home didn't have a full basement, Id be adding heat to the greenhouse.
It's always cool when you find a product that works as advertized, good news on the H&G. I've had phenominal results with Maxsea.

Happy New Year!

Doublejj, do you have a source for big containers of Maxsea? I was really impressed with the results, but the only size I can find here is 1.6 lbs (680g) for $17.95 and I need a couple of containers per application. Would love to know where to buy it in bulk or a much bigger package. It's such fantastic stuff it would be easy to justify a road trip just to pick up a supply for the entire season. Thanks!

No not really, I look around and find the best price.
Actually 'Greenfire' here in Sac usually has a good price.

Good luck bro, Maxsea's the ish!

Thanks for the lead. Couldn't find it on their on-line site, . It was amazing stuff, but don't want all that packaging. Putting dozens of plastic containers in the waste stream wouldn't work for me.

Does Greenfire carry it in something larger than the 680g size the stores around here carry? Surely being a Garberville company it's available in bulk sizes. Will e-mail the company and report back what they say.

Thanks for reminding me to check this out before I'm backed into top dollar retail again! Totally worth it, but...
