Thanks Oldschool!

It is truly a challenge growing at this elevation. I am sold on the greenhouse for life:)

Big Pots, Lots of sun, and snow, lol.

I appreciate the vibes!

All the trimmers I know will be bouncing from project to project up here until at least the end of November.(i'm not the only one who is mashin greenies up here this year:)) I'd love to link up with ya after the season and talk shop with ya!

No winter projects for me. I'll be on the slopes.:dance013:

well fucking played sir, that is a beautiful thing indeed. you must be getting maximum lighting in these last couple weeks? We are on our 3rd run of g.h. first two were covering the last run no need to cover, but we have shitty lighting and gets shittier by the day. Cause of a tree that we didn't take out. you haven't come across any powder mildew? Fucking fantastic though its what a lot of us dream of, way to kill it. PS GO GIANTS!!!

Thanks brotha! We got intense awesome sun all throughout the summer that really formed the strong structure. Now we are getting pretty solid sun from around 7 AM - 5ish.

No PM in sight, but I did have to pull one Pure Kush Plant that was in the corner that has the smallest bit of Grey Mold. I also had to take like 4 Purple Urkle heads (not even top cola). Even with fans blastin all around them, they still had small signs of mold. Very little lost. They were pretty much done anyways and Chunky Monkey!:laughing:

I've got another 13,000CFM of exhaust, (8) 2000CFM movement fans for up top and 6 dehueys on the way.

Kinda overcast today, then it's Sunshine Daydream for the rest of the voyage (I'm hopin')

Hi Turbo ,This is what I am rocking this season . Fire. Candyland ,Purple Bio Diesel , Denver Diesel ,Uncle Louis Lemonade .Red Dream , Lemon Thai , Truckstop cookies , Dark cherry matter ,Animal Cookies ,Pakistan Valley citral kush , Grapefruit kush ,Pink kush ,Big Blue ,Valley Girl and I think that's about it.

We start in the greenhouses on saturday big leafing . My crew gets in from Denver on sunday to start trimming . They will be using the new wanders to do all the top colas .The rest will be twisted. If you have never used a wander they are an awesome machine. I love to be able to suck all the sugar leafs off the buds for concentrates. They really shine for all the choice tops !

Just headed to bed ben a long one today ! Peace , Oldschoolgrower

Sounds like an awesome lineup. Did you mostly run seed stock this year or have you ran these before? I've heard real good things about that Valley Girl. Is that from Archive?

I've been running a TON of new seeds in my indoor rooms these past runs. Soo much funk already found. More going in this round. Kid in a candy shop, lol.

Which twister do you have? I have a T2 for lowers, only used it a few times. I do all tops and chunkers dry hand trim.

Snaggin' a Subzero Scientific Closed loop 5# system and a 3 rack Across Intl. Vac oven for this years hash bash. Gonna have a ton of sweet leaf:)

I usually bake with the twister trim, shit get's me loopy:laughing:

F yea Turbo !


Thanks Bro!

Here are some pics I took with my phone yesterday.

Pure Kush Right before chop. It was a pleasure growing this plant outside in the natural sunshine! Soo many colors.

Purple Urkle right before chop. I wanted to run her another week, but the smallest amount of bud rot on some lower colas made my decision. She smells sooo fucking good!

picture.php


GSC Forum Cut - Still rockin and rollin'. This is my first time flowering this cut which I have had in and out of my garden for years. Rock hard nuggets that smell like straight up cookies. Should yield well over a unit in a 100 gal.

picture.php


Cherry Pie still packin on the weight. Should be a Halloween Finish. These plants are stacking ridiculously hard and smell like straight up cherries and funk! Starting to throw a nice layer of grease on her!

Every CP is soo uniform. Here is one of the 60 sisters.

Gonna snow around 3 inches tonight on the hill. Bustin out another 200k heater for the opposite side of the greenhouse. Gonna be in the 20's. Here comes the color!

Thanks!

We left some lowers on the Pure and Purple Urkle to finish up.

We added another heater, it snowed the other night and was 25 outside. It was a nice a tropical 75 degrees and 55% humidity in the greenhouse.

A little trick I learned this year. I didn't vent my 200k Modine heater. Instead we use oscillation to move the co2 created from the Modine around the greenhouse. We exhaust the entire greenhouse at night, but let the co2 build up in the morning sunshine hours and is absorbed by the plants like an indoor grow room. We also run it in the afternoon before the sun sets. However, if you do not exhaust periodically throughout the greenhouse, the co2 will turn into carbon monoxide and kill you and your plants. If done right, this can be a heater/co2 generator. This truly helped production.

The Cherry Pies look like they will be done in the next 2 weeks, possibly first week of Nov. They are stacking sooooo fucking beautifully.

We trimmed up a few Pure Kush and Purple Urkle nugs. Looks like straight up indoor.:laughing:

looks like its gonna be nice for the next week and a half in our area (nederland-blackhawk)... keep that sun shine coming, should help slow down some of your grey mold issues until harvest.

We have been blessed this week with sun. Should be a banger finish!

As it stands, the Cherry Pies, EastCoast Cookies, GSC Forum, Flodica, and Sweet and Sour Cindys will be pulled right around Halloween.

Everything is filling in soo nicely. I will try to snap some pics of the GSC, she killed it in the color, funk, and density department!

trick or treat? :)

Impressive man, you have way better density than I got. Flower was BiG and full but dry was not as pretty.

Thanks!, but You killed it bro! I love the clean setup! When are you replanting? Any plans for dep?

I'm thinking about replanting in in Feb and flipping them in March to finish by June 1st so that I can get them in again by June 10th.

Gonna add 48'-68' to the greenhouse next year, another 2 modine heaters, few more pots, and natural gas lines ran so that we don't have to refill tanks on the reg.

Here are a few pics to last until after harvest.

What a bonus from the 'Big Bulb' in the sky!

A lot of work, but what a result.

How much do you miss the Elec. Bill?
