12x7x7 for under $100 on amazon!!! I am stoked to finally get a real GH! The last two years I've run small outdoor crops under some painters plastic 3mil and my plants have never actually been fully covered. Last year was good, but I want bigger plants now that I have more room.

A fellow ICer and friend of mine dropped off 6 nice sized bushes since he had some extras, big thanks! From him I got 2 East Coast Sour Diesels and 4 OG Hero's. Transplanted into 3 gallon pots with FF ocean forest and some vermiculite(is that ok?) and will be using FF grow big for the entire grow, but lowering the dosage later in flower and adding some MOAB boost and possibly some molasses.

Also have some new ladies from seed, two female phenos of Chem Blue and one Jack the RipperXVanilla Luna. Both strains came from another ICer who may chime in, well see.


Chem Blue is Chemdog crossed with Blueberry, then my buddy took that female which was resinous, colorful, tasty/stinky, but lacked density and crossed it with some pollen from a male Chem Blue that had a very nice donkey dick structure going for it. Hopefully the cross will result in some heavy yields.


Jack the ripper were seeds I believe from TGA. Then there was vanilla luna I'm not sure about other than it is variegated and has that crazy white/bleached color sometimes.


Then I've got some stardog and some new strains which are small babies from my own breeding and some more JTR crosses.


Well I spent a lot of time digging out this area for my GH, and it looks tits! Check out the pics ;)


Pathway I built, ghetto but I'm stoked!

I'll also be growing some other stuff, mainly tomatoes and hopefully chilis! I've got some tomato clones I started from other tomatoes we have growing in the yard, and also started some seeds from last years heirloom tomatoes called "White Ox-heart" which are large yellow/white heart shaped tomatoes!

I'm not sure what I should do about air movement, it is definitely lacking "movement" but I know that there is fresh air since I have six windows with screens constantly open.....Hopefully that would be enough, but I do notice it is a bit hotter in my GH than outside. Do you think I need a fan or something?

JTR-Good to see you for sure, and hell yea I will rock it til I die!

gaius-Nice to see you dude! Hopefully it works out well, I do like the green crossing all over the GH to prevent people from seeing in and it doesn't seem to effect the light very much. I can see some problems I may have though....


So I'm wondering if humidity is going to be a large issue, I do have open vents but I am in a high humidity area already and it can only get worse in the GH when the buds come...I did buy two portable 10" solar fans, they probably won't be super strong but when its sunny these fans should create some air movement. Another issue I'll be facing is trees/branches falling on my GH. I have large trees around my house, and big branches have fallen before, if one big one hits the right spot it could smash the entire GH. I have to swipe the top of the GH inside every day just to get all the leaves and crap that fall down off. Yesterday I noticed a small sharp twig had fallen from a tree and actually poked through the GH! Sucks, lol, I was surprised! Not a big hole, but thats all it takes, a small twig, if a big one comes I'm fucked!


Here's some shots I took yesterday

Great start! Can you frame a tent-fly type screen over the top of the GH to catch the fallout from the trees?

I was thinking of doing this, I suppose it would be the only way to try and guarantee that nothing falls on the GH, I might end up doing it or I may just see what happens. Thanks


Praise-YES!

possible reinforcement of the poles would do the trick, you can always patch the plastic, just as long as the frame stays standing your plants should be safe. either that or get a ladder up that tree and check the branches for what will be coming down and do the pruning yourself so no big stuff is in a condition to fall.

Very nice cali, some air movement is the key against humidity/mold so go with the fans.

I meant more for light Dep .. and so you can grow year around ...it is so small would be easy to cover .....I have a 10 x10 x7 GH ..i have to cover there are to many lights from neighbors for my liking ..

Fo sho, well since daylight hours are going down now I will most likely just veg inside like I am ATM and put decent sized plants outside like a perpetual and they should go into flower, until next season. My plants are only seeing 14 hrs going down now and some are starting to flower. Next year maybe I'll use cover if I get a taller cover because they would be monsters! Made some oil, daaaank!
