Greenhouse Grow

Bhobbie · Jan 11, 2012

I started a thread for my 2nd Grow the Dutch Passion Auto Blueberry Im doing in my closet so I decided to Throw up a thread about my current on going 1st grow in my Greenhouse. I started out with 24 germinated seeds, mix from White widow, Cheese, and Gran Daddy Purp. My seeds got all mixed up so im not sure which plant is what. Believe it or not all of these plants are about the same age. I had a few that i was babying inside with cfls (The 3 largest ones) had a few outside next to my house in the shade. Some in my windows in my kitchen....Im telling you my first grow was and still is a mess lol. Now I built an extremly cheap "Greenhouse" that i decided to place all of them in. Im feeding the 3 largest ones with kool bloom and all of the others with Alaskan fish fert.
I just wanted to throw up pics and wanted to know what you guys think.

Very nice Bhobbie , well impressed with your lean to greenhouse, what kind of pvc is that you used ? , how much light does it actually let in ? and how visable are the plants from the outside ? , are you using any other type of lighting apart from the cfl's i can see ?
Rep'd for your build ~ clonex ...

Thank you Clonex.
I used wood I got from home depot 2"x2" for the frame and support and the plastic I'm not sure on...to be honest I got it at walmart from the paint section...it said "clear plastic" but it was milky which I liked since I do have people next door that have children that can see over my fence. From outside you can see that there is "plants" inside do to the CFL's light but you cannot make out what...it's blurry. I do not have any other lights. I was going to go with just all sunlight but I had the 3 big girls that have nice buds on them and since they started inside under cfl's I wanted to keep at least a couple in the greenhouse on a timer to make sure it has at least 12 hours of light since sunlight docent last long in Cali ATM.

I am a lil worried about the yellowing you can see on my two biggest girls...hose are the huge sun leafs...should I chop them off?

Clonex · Jan 11, 2012

Ahh right i see , well im gonna follow as i like the look of your room ,
whats on the top acting as a roof , it would be very beneficial to you to make it clear as possible , maybe add a sunlight, whats there now ?
No , never pull any leaves off of them , let them fall off , even in bad condition your plant may still be using it , can do more harm than good

ps i see now its the same plastic , cut a flap into it and seal around 3 edges with velcro strips , this will alow you to open and close as you please , also allowing condensation ( bad for flowers high humidity) to escape and sunlight in ...

While these girls: btw (there are 19 of them I stared with 24 but had 4 males and 1 hermie) are continuing growing I started on my new grow inside that I'm going to baby all the way to harvest

I added some more pic to show the structure....it was realy simple and basic. Took one day to complete. As you can see i have a black fan in there to circulate the air hoping it strengthens the stems. I also have a small white heater for freezing nights. I also added a bunch more of my bud porn

Bhobbie · Jan 11, 2012

WOW! Thats a great idea...thanx Im going to go buy velcro strips tomorro and set up maybe two flaps or openings...Im soo glad you mentioned that because the last few days ive been noticing that it gets really humid in the greenhouse around the hottest part of the day. I didnt know if it was bad or good for my girls.

I would also have a double layer on the main side piece again velcro it so you can pull it up , the only reason i say this is with the cfl's on you can clearly see the outline of the plants , i think if you had another layer acting as a curtain it will keep nosey eyes at bay and when you want the sunlight through it can be rolled up.

Bhobbie · Jan 13, 2012

Btw...I have a question.
How much longer do I have for all 19 of my girls to finish flowering and ripen before the California sun goes back to longer hours of daylight to where it will force my girls to go back in the begging stage. Ibdo not want this to happen because I saved extra special seeds for my spring/summer grow....these plants I have now are nothing new to me and they where my winter grow so I want them to finish within 2 months hopefully.

Clonex · Jan 13, 2012

They have a few weeks yet imo , i cant see any of the bud pistils turning back on themselves yet and i cant see any coloured or milky pistils yet , hard to tell from those pics but i'd guess at 3-4 weeks maybe 5 , if the sunlight does lengthen past 13 hours you could easily push them into 1 corner and block their sunlight using a cardboard screen or something like that, post some "budd close ups" maybe able to see better

Obviously i mean the plants with buds that are fully formed , when looking again i realised you have lots of plants in different stages ...

Bhobbie · Jan 15, 2012

Im sorry I added more pics trying to get close ups but the only "camera" i have is an Ipad 2 lol and thats the best i can do. Maybe these pics will help these are my two biggest girls. These pics were also taken a couple of days ago...Also added pics of my next runner up (The darker plant that for some reason has a higher leaf/bud output) and a lil plant that is turning a dark purple almost a black.

Bhobbie · Jan 15, 2012

Oh and I have a question for you guys...if I where to take a guess at how old those two bigger ones are I would guess they were in week7-8ish..
When should I flush and what exactly is flushing.
I know your supposed to flush 2 weeks before you harvest and when you flush you use 3x the pot size...like I have 5 gallon bags so I would use 15gallons of water but where I get lost is how often do I flush for the last 2 weeks....just once? And after you flush wait 2 weeks then chop? Or do you flush once a day for 2 weeks?

19 plants that's cool. I had 9 in a 10x22 last year and ran out of room. I never thought about putting pots in just to flower

Bhobbie · Jan 15, 2012

That's 9 plants? Wow I see like 20 main colas....did you get that amount of bud by topping?

stumps · Jan 15, 2012

that's one plant. the thing was so crowded it was hard to get pic's. here are a few more to help get a idea I would have been good with 4 plants in there. Yes I did do some cropping but that was a G-13 and it went crazy that plant could have taken a 1/3 of the green house..

dayummm stumps...got stumps... those gals look good

@HOBBIE keep at it, youll get some smoke, not much tho..

Bhobbie · Jan 18, 2012
