Mu ha ha ha! Who was that masked man? That was magic bro.
Actually the clip of me was a bit longer but I cut it back, guess I'm a little camera shy.
If you do take vids you need a place to host, thats gonna be public.
I don't see any risk if you stay within the State laws. That may not be a good idea for some people.

Ok Now I see what I got to work with I re aranged them. When I took out the Afghan widow I felt the sand under the pot. I was very cool, I would guess its like 20° cooler. So I put Casey jones there and took out a few more bricks and sunk the last two into the soil. I'm pretty sure I have them where I want them now.

im a bit confused about your statement, as well as how to phrase my questions... so forgive me for what im about to say...
"20 degrees.. casey jones... wait what? widow where... do what now? whats going on here? i feel dizzy@.@"
heh, ya, sorry about that.
im guessin casey jones is in the pot, and you put her in the cooler spot because roots aint gettin out of there. are the other plants' spots warmer? 20degrees cooler here is 75 xD
ya im an ass.. NO BEEF

Thats right, and the sand under the smartpot I removed is 20 degrees cooler then the top of the brick. Where the left row was. Maybe even more, big difference. The name of the plant I removed was Afghan Kush, I replaced it with a plant called Casey Jones. Second plant on the right. There ya go.
Good call on the cooler base. Active heat sink basically for the plant. Plus it is not a bad drain for extra water ta boot. Alway a concern with root health when the temps go up for sure.
I had wondered why you only did one side in the beginning but figured it was some undisclosed experiment. Or it could have been more simple, as I often overlook that with this culture. Something like, "Uhg, why did I not do that on both sides? *shrug* Why did I remove them from that side again? Where are my pants!" -- humor, not a dig.

hey there.. I've been creepin in your thread for a while so I thought I would introduce myself. Nice greenhouse. what nutrients are you using? I'm very interested in having a greenhouse grow pretty soon.
Ha! A bit of both really.
Actually I built the greenhouse over the edge of my patio so the first eight feet or so on the left is still solid.
Heres a shot of the floor from my build journal:
So I knew I had room for one in the back. I wanted to see what strain would get the largest and need it. Well, Bubba Kush won. Then I realized the Santa Cruz OG would fit in front of the patio so she went there and I slid the Blue Dream in the pot to the front on the patio.
Then I found my pants.
Welcome DUBS,
Good luck with your grow, Im using Technaflora plant products, "Pura Vida" Grow and Bloom.
These were the nutrients used with the soil mix before with good results so I thought I would give them a try.
No complaints so far.

haha wow, now i feel even more like an idiot! good work! xD plus rep for it infact. ::falls over::
Thanks guys.
Hey Boomer, I got a question for ya, How many time did you top your 09 widow grow?just swingin by brotha. the ladies are veggin very nicely.
I been looking at some pics from your journal.
Looks like the size tripled from this point on.
OK, we are going into week 7 of veg. Temps come up to high 80's this week but now have cooled down some.
I should be ok.
I am now watering about a gallon in the morning and 1/2 gallon at night. I started feeding once a week but thats up to three times a week at 800 PPM. I adjust the ph to 6.5 with the nutes but in between feedings the ph has been around 7.0
The girls in the back are larger and using more water then the smaller girls. The santa cruz og kush now has more room and has started to fill out. Casey jones is doing great too. Bubba Kush has slowed down some. maybe its the spot. The two blue dreams are perfect in size, My blue berry is getting pretty tall even having being topped before. The monster in the back that is growing just like a christmas tree is the blue Cheese.

i FIMmed once during veg (indoors under a T5) and just LST'd the branches to widen out the canopy. i used green twist ties to bend the main branch over and allow the auxins to shift and the growth explodes for the side shoots. then i tied those side shoots down and let it bush out. i had to harden off the bitches then did a transplant outside. the tomatoe cages def made the biggest diff. u WILL need support and it helped me LST at any heighth.
now that im indoors and messed with all topping mehtods, i like supercropping the most. way less maintance and monitoring when ure running multiple plants. but it ensures even growth on all side shoots. i know u know all this but just reviewing wat all i did to get those results.
theres a lot i did last years outdoor that i would change but thats the challenge in growing.
ur ladies are at a good heighth. have u topped or done anything to train them? just hope u dont stretch too much during flower when the soltice hits.
id focus on a wide canopy (as wide as u can get without plants competing for space) and try to get like 6-8 main colas and trim off all the lower shit like u do with ur scrog. i had all crappy popcorn buds from middle plant down. the plants were crowded and shot up fast stretchin for sun. the first pic shows a good sized bush, then the second gets a little taller, then the last is just like a MJ plant on stilts. lol. my whole mentality was wrong; i thought go tall and grow long huge nugs, but didnt work that way. unless u have side lighting like vert bulbs then i wouldnt keep the bottom portion of the plants.
also i know u mentioned the temps have been gettin 80+ (were similar weather) but last year my plants had to endure 100+ temps and didnt show too many issues. got a little droopy from not being watered over a vacation weekend. but they popped right bak after their drank.
are u doin RO water outside again? i think i remember seeing u hook it up and have a rez. wats ur water temp? jw
Thanks man.
Thanks for the info man,
So you did your pruning before you hardened off. OK gotcha.
No I haven't touched these girls yet but they are getting big and I am thinking about topping/training. I just dont want to cut off a few lowers and get a bunch more height. The big one in the back will need to be topped.
Yea, I gotta think of this as a big cab grow.
I do have a filter out there but not an R/O Its a sediment and charcoal filter. The res temps in the res run around 75°
I am going too add an r/o after that filter for hydro grows but that wont be for a couple months.

its def a lot of info but u know me; mr. ramble. haha
the filter should be cool. ure outdoors with a buffer so the plants wont trip too hard on a couple hundred ppms. jw about ur water temps cuz u know the importance of cold/cool water. my rez gets hot indoors as is with the room temp of 85. i could only imagine wat the water temp will be when its a hundie plus outdoors. ure greenhouse is more dialed then most indoor grows i see on here lol. so it wouldnt surprise me if u were throwin in a chiller. idk if itd really matter cuz i used straight tap water for my bitches and a homemade tea not knowin wtf i was really doin and they still produced just over a pound each.
for the heigth issue im sure u could just FIM all them and let the tops split and side growth shoot out and up to even the canopy with multiple colas. theyre still in veg and have enough time to recover and still grow bak strong before flower. i vegged for months outdoors cuz i wanted huge plants but i wouldve rather vegged for like 2 months instead of 3 months. it was sativa dom anyways so i guess itll depend which strain is dominant.
but im thinkin maybe FIM now let it recover and supercrop the top main shoot to allow the side shoots to catch up and even out the canopy. maybe dont fim and just supercrop? if anything it will strentghen the main stalk when it heals (fatty knuckle stem) and will support itself better.
wat were u gonna do for flwoer support?
