We are heating them by ducting the heat produced by our natural gas furnace in an adjacent building. Natural gas where we are is very cheap. Our bill last year with one green house in december was only 120$ for heating a 250 square foot GH w/o any gavitas in there. So with 4 1000W gavitas in each GH im expecting to have a bill of around 200$ a month from nov-april.
The lumber is all treated in the new GH so that was a little more cost (about 1800$ total lumber cost). The poly carbonate triple pain with shipping (not cheap) was about 1000$. plus 400$ of insulation. couple hundred dollars in screws plus a couple hundred for silicone and other shit. Then you have a 12 max fan exhaust and 10 in max fan intake. plus supplemental lighting.
So all in all all for a fully reinforced custom GH that can be year round at 9300' in CO with all the perks will be around 8000$ (around 250ftxft)

Airborne is frosty as hell but still trying to get her to yield a bit more

Blackberry Kush and The pre 98 bubba do wonderfully because they go into flower in July and finish in 8 wks. they are also very hardy stout kush strains so they handle harsh climates and high elevations brilliantly.
Also the Chemdawg does very well
White rhino seems to be a large yielding Gh strain
In an environmentally controlled GH your are not as constricted on your strain selection as you would be with just a hopp house grow or outdoor up here. But if you wanna grow long flowering sativas then you will need supplemental lighting from oct on to get any density out of them.
Hope this helps

Both. It smells like fruity pebbles and fills the room with its aroma when you open a well cured jar. Always big purple nugs coated with resin.
def some CBDs in this girl too
