Hello all Though it was about time to start up the summer grow thread for myself.

This year the greenhouse is a bit bigger then last.
Took Doublejj's carport idea and made it happen!

It's the one from Walmart $94 With 6 mil plastic covering everything except the ends which have shade cloth.

There are 6 100 gallon smart pots which are home to Blue Dreams, Trainwreck, Romulan, and Three mysto strains cracked from beans i got as freebies called "SB Mystery Mix, Female Seeds" or something of that nature.

The soil mix is nothing special, a pile I got delivered to my yard then added some coco and some perlite I had lying around.

I've also added 280w of lighting (incandescent shop lighting)to make the plants think the days are actually 18 hours long. The come on from 3am to 630am and again from 8pm to 9pm

THe Greenhouse is anchored down with Reg Blocks on each leg, then two more reg blocks tied to the spine at either end. I also Added hanging pots inside to help hold her down and not torque as much (they also look pretty (

In between the 100 Gals I'll probably turn a few rubbermaid totes into containers for some extra plants I have

Also Just for fun I planted different varieties of carrots around the base of each ganja plant in a 100 gals. Heard Carrots and Herb Grow good together.

So onto the pictures I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you'll stick around through the season!

Title hooked me, I'm in. haha

I mean, who doesn't like to watch a 100 Gallon Smart Pot grow.... let alone a whole F'ing greenhouse.

Lol, Carrots.... Hope you don't have any wabbits out there.

Milehighguy - Glad to have you hear my ganja growing friend! yes you gotta love the 100 gals, I'm sure they'll treat me right (: and theres a few wabbits but I'm willing to share the carrots as long as they leave my buds alone! hahaha

Cheers

How much did the greenhouse come to once you finished it? I take it the $94 was for just the carport right, no plastic/shade cloth? It looks great! If your going to use those light fixtures to maintain veg you might as well swap the incandescents out for the biggest cfls you can get. Then the plants would be benefiting from the lumens.

Nice joint. Like Major says, those air pots are gonna grow monsters. Best wishes.

Supersmallgiant - I feel ya on the CFL. My original thought on using the incandescents was to keep it low profile. I just wanted it to look like back yard lights, but If I used higher kelvin CFL they'd prob be the same color huh? like 6500 or so?

And in terms of price lets take a look at the reciepts and break it down (:

-Carport = 94$
-Reg Blocks = $0.83 x 9 = $6.64
-Incandescent Bulbs = $2.88 (for a 4 pack)
-Zip Ties = $14.97 (300 pack I used about 100)
-Plastic worklight Covers = $6.16 x 4 = $24.64
-Outlet Adapter = $9.97
-Rope = $6.48
-Thicker Rope = $9.97
-6mil Plastic 10' x 25' = $22.98 x 2 = $45.96
-Shade cloth = $26.03 x 5 = $130.15

Total Cost to build greenhouse = $345.66

Disco - Glad to have ya here To quote a member from my last summer greenhouse thread It's gonna be like day of the Triffids in there! hehehe
