temporary greenhouse

[Phish Dude]

do you guys have a good design for a small temorary greenhouse to house young mj plants?

[Gantz]

how small? how hard is it to put a polyethylene or some other transparent plastic foil on a frame ???

[Guest]

pvc and plastic.

[Phish Dude]

how much would it cost to build 3 1' long and 6'' tall and wide of pvc and polythylene. could i get the poly from like home depot or somthing.

or could i just use a flipped over fish tank?

Use wood, it will be cheaper and easier.... or just wait another week or 2.... :chin:

They sell lots of poly in the paint section, in 1mil up to 6mil. I'd go with the highest so it is more easily worked with daily without getting holes and tears.4mil minimum. 2mil is like trashbag thickness.

Its gonna cost you about 20.00 for plastic and pvc parts. Look in my gallery at my cloner top, its very similar to what you sound like you want. I used sprinker threaded risers and 3 way t's soc x threaded x soc and they are very uncommon but for some reason home depot has them, I don't know what they are commonly used for, but they make good framing. Just set this ontop of your plants each day, and remove it for a little while each day while they are young. If you don't air it out, mold will mostlikely take over.

i have tons of wood laying around, i am just going to be growing in these for about a month or so.
is there a cheaper alternitave could i just use commercial plastic or somthing?
my friend just gave me his fish tank so could i use that?

[Guest]

I wouldn't use glass it might hold in too much heat.

you can get ready made ones from Kmart ...that look pretty good.
