Mini Greenhouse Southern Hemisphere Winter Grow

Recently i lost about 20 seedlings due to some heavy flooding,so i decided to pick up this small greenhouse.
Made a soil mix of coco,topsoil and compost in a 3-2-1 part ratio. Have been watering with a small dose of my veg nutes,kelpak and microbes.
Chose the rectangual pots to utilize the space and limit the final size of the plants.i know i shouldnt have more then one plant per pot but i went ahead and did it anyway.The middle tier/Shelf is empty so that the bottom tier plants can grow into that space,might do abit of make shift Scrog too.
Strains : SpaceQueen(private source), Cheese(Original Sensible Seeds), Sinai(TRSC), Speedy Boom Auto(Kannabia), Kaboom(Kannabia), Big Band(Kannabia), Snow White (Nirvana). Hoping for either a Snow White or Sinai male for light pollination.

Interesting concept, you should get some nice frosty bud. The cooler
temperature should increase the resin content, providing it's not freezing cold.

Yeah I do the same thing at winter. Looks like you have the same greenhouses I use out bush. I use them for winter breeding and for getting an early start in spring. As long as there is no moisture inside you will be fine.plants should get 8 to 20 inches tall depending on the strain
 
That's a good idea for a small breeding/pollen chucking project.


Was thinking with the limited light hours you would get minis. Going back a few years ago, I had a friend, { Somebody that I used to know} plant around 20 seeds or so mid to late march. Not expecting them to have any size they were planted close together. They took off and ended up around 6 feet tall. They ended up with plenty of personal smoke and a warning from the land lord. Lucky he was a cool dude.


Bye the way, I like your handle. QP :smokeit: Clever boy

inside the tent during the day its maxing out at 40°C at the moment but i open the front it drops down to about 30-32°C and then close up a hour or 2 before sunset, in the morning when i go check its about 21°C. Coldest month round here is going to be end June/July.

Topped 1 of the supposed SpaceQueens and The Cheese
There also 2 Brazil Kc x (Swazi Red x Lebenese) just popping out on the bottom tier,and 3 Diesel Auto x KC45 f2 on the top tier to fill the void from a few culled seedlings that were struggling.

Nah South Africa. i always grow during winter,just this the first time with the aid of a small green house. You will be surprised by the yield its like they grow super fast cos they sense chance of survival is small or something im no botanist.

The SpaceQueens, not 100% certain, since i didnt buy it myself i sourced them privately, the dude did give me a piece of the bud too,it was really potent, sweetish pine old school flavours.
