Well I did the indoor thing this past year, and I've done OK... but, it's time to play with the big boys.

Plans are for a Series 500 42' wide 96' long greenhouse kit, endwalls, etc. to comply with Michigan Law for medical grow's outdoors. Working on getting my financing in order for this project right now.

It'll be an organic soil I'll be buying from another grower I know, he mixes it himself. And he's known for 3-5lb plants, so I'm going to shut the hell up and listen to him. Water will be supplied from the river bordering the property, which is a natural rock-bottom spring fed river and protected trout spawning river. No factories upstream, just pure clean water straight from a natural Lake Superior supplied spring.

The seller accepted my terms for a land-contract, so this will be mine VERY SOON!


I'll have more than 10 acres to grow, play, and live on in the country, far away from everyone -- at the very end of a dead-end, low-traffic gravel road with virtually NO neighbors.

So... I'm used to indoors, guerilla outdoor grows, but this greenhouse thing is a whole new ballgame for me. Tips, tricks, pointers... this is being built with intentions of supplying dispensaries whenever Michigan gets around to getting the bills through the Senate.

Epic. Good luck on your journey!

Nice, I'm in colorado, I was thinking about getting the exact same greenhouse kit but I'm gonna wait untill next year. I'll be watching this one. Good luck.

you're a lucky man sho and long may your good fortune continue, shall be watching in envy from the UK.

Thanks guys, I'm glad Michigan passed this law in 2008. One of my big things is going to be growing some CBD heavy clones or Charlotte's Web turning it into oil and hopefully some parents find me if their children really need it. I'll supply for free.

The other 54 though...

I'm considering building a 40x96 pole barn instead and just leaving the damn roof and trusses off until the fall. Get through the winter and then put the greenhouse kit up next spring. Steel siding + 2x6's and 6x6 posts are "almost" half the price as the greenhouse kit.

The pole barn will come in handy, in the future, I do think... As long as the State Police can sign off on me not running a roof as long as I've got X foot tall walls and no neighbors can see in (cause there are none!).

So far it's been fun planning, but I imagine it won't be as much fun mid-summer pooping in the woods and sleeping in a tent outside the grow sho.

But now I've gotta hand off most the cash I've saved in this last year for down payment on this land contract

Good luck and good vibes brother!! Blaze that path

Go with the green house and build a smaller building to dry in. A few companies make curtain kits so you can black out your green house, I'd put 40kw in it so you can veg fast and get good crops off in the winter.

That's what I was leaning towards, as long as I can get some serious service out in the boondocks. That's about 160-180 amps, not including the fans, heater, etc. that'll be running.

Not sure, if I can get 460v service I'm fine, otherwise I'll almost need three 200a service lines brought in (one for lights, one for Ghouse, one for residence/attached garage)
