Well, after looking through the greenhouse threads I've decided to post. So lets start with the basics.

Dimensions: 10'wide x 30' long
Covering: One layer of white 6 mil plastic on the inside, Then one layer of clear 6 mil plastic with an inflation fan in between the two layers. The black out curtain is a roll up 4 mil panda film.
Lights: (5) 1000 watt with harvest pro analog ballasts.
System: Home built 18 site 5 gallon RDWC buckets.
Heater: Reverber Ray 30000 btu tube heater.
Ventilation: 3 16" Air king wall mount fans, 2 box fans. (1) 6" vortex for light hoods and (1) 6" vortex for room exhaust.
Nutrients: Botanicare CNS 17 with a mix of additives also Botanicare.

Heres a few answers before the questions start rolling in.

Yes I do use this greenhouse year round.

Yes it works during winter.

Yes it is a light dep greenhouse. (more on that later)

Plants are clones Vanilla Kush.

The system is a single 9 week run at a time.

So without further ado.. Here is some pictures.

In the winter, do you run lights on at night and black out your greenhouse or run them during the day with a heater at night?

btw, very cool. I love hydro greenhouses.
