ok, solar panel arrived, is wired and working

the fan spins faster and faster the brighter it gets. when a cloud comes by it slows considerably...

just what i needed. i hope it's not to hot to grow in there now. temps are still unseasonably warm

fan is spinning although you can't see it in the pic...

and my first victim, lol !!!

got broccoli ?

this out to be fun. never have grown in a green house nor grown broccoli...

i've gotta get my plumbing from tank into my greenhouse now

even though total rain has been less than 3/4" over the last 3.5 months i have 4 inches of water in my 330 gallon tank which is around 27 gallons time for some PVC and shovel

That's an awesome greenhouse, and I love the solar panel too. Are you going to mount it or just keep it there? I'll be watching for sure.

thanks man afoaf turned me onto the solar panel and fan. in fact, i was out at his weekend farm the last two days and really got a good understanding of his entire solar/wind system he has for his cabin, bad-boy buggy, tool shed and chicken coup.

i wanna add some more panels, a charge controller and a battery or two. then could operate some cfls or leds in my shed and even operate a power tool or two

That's a pretty cool grow bag technique! Do you ever find the tomatoes run out of food? What about air? Do you punch holes in the bags for drainage?

Hot DAMN dude. Lovin' it. But bummed to see the temps situation.

I'm planning on something similar in the spring. No can do reefer outside 'round these parts (yet), but I'm stoked for general flower/veggie usage.
