Im considering doing a greenhouse next year but im not sure how big, as i plan on going bigger next year as well. 6 plants 100 gallon holes in my soil mix. I really just want, just enough space like couple feet of walk room around mature plants.
I thought maybe a 16W x 24L and putting the plants in the center side by side [:::] giving each plant a 6x6 area and scroging them. but my current plant is in ok light an a 50 gallon hole is a 6x6 soo.. idk

Also if i don't do a greenhouse i have to do a fenced in area, any idea on the best size for that would be? Thanks

Yes listen to Thumper... I've been building my greenhouse setup all year... initially I was going to try to cram 12 plants in a 16X30 but he convinced me otherwise and it was good advice ... i ended up going with 8 plants, each in a 32" raised bed ... I just started building the greenhouse yesterday and got all the posts buried... It's basically going to be a 16' hoop house sitting on top of a 32" knee wall .. the height at the center should be about 12' ... here's a pic from this morningIMG_2402.JPG

Thx Thumper.. Yes I’ll absolutely be using greenhouse poly, hardware store poly is crap.... I’ll go with 6 mil and hope to get 3-4 seasons out of it.

What state do you live in? Just curious why you need the greenhouse?

I’m in MA and every year I battle rain, humidity, and eventually mold sets in and I end up chopping early.. last year I grew in pots and brought them into the garage whenever rain was coming... I saved the crop but it was basically a full time job getting to harvest last year... never again

Im in Missouri so newly legal. And honestly it's just because i have to build a 8ft fence around the plants so a greenhouse is just adding a little more framing and plastic etc..

I was born and raised in southern Illinois about 2 hours from St Louis. My parents still live there, dad just survived liver transplant to find out he has colon cancer. He's been in chemo past few months. I have been impatiently waiting for Illinois to go legal I want to pump him full of CBD!

Make your own hoop house. Try tunnel vision hoop houses. Get a bender and do it up. Or buy a kit... Farmtek.com and greenhoude megastore have lots of kits.
