doublejj's Big 2014 light dep greenhouse adventure.....

[doublejj]

Wow, beautiful plants JJ! For you, is there a noticeable difference in between light dep springtime flowered buds versus buds flowered during the fall? I wish I had a greenhouse like that on a smaller scale

This is my first light dep grow, but from the ones I've seen, the buds don't get as big, however they are usually heavy with resin. I'll post some pics after harvest....

 

[doublejj]

Thanks folks....just a few more pictures, only because I took them lol.....
What a beautiful place to hang out, the greenhouse.

Dude double jj, that looks like a wet dream

The greenhouse came together nicely! The girls seem to be loving the root space!

How do they light dep the greenhouse? pull a tarp over the whole thing every night?

 

[Garden Boss]

Excellent work, are you still planning to blow up your carport? Seems like a few of your mega plants would out yield of that whole GH.

Yes they are loving the root space, 18" 4ft raised beds. The greenhouse has been a work in progress all season. It is coming together nicely..

They pull a tarp over the wood framework each night, 12 on 12 off......

Yes I'll probably do a carport this year GB, but try to keep them under control. The plants in the greenhouse are only 4 weeks of flowering right now, the buds should pack on some weight in the coming weeks, & There will be another round in the greenhouse after these are done. those should get a lot bigger.

And they have big plans for some 200gl smart pots around the outside of the greenhouse this summer, hopefully they will be monsters. Still hoping to pick up a few good cuts at the BBQ to fill out the card.......

Ok, I want to do a light dep as well but have been debating on the size of the greenhouse to get because of having to pull the tarp. Building something on the inside is a good idea though, just may have to try and design that. Are you vegging more plants now to do a second light dep before seasons over?

Yes.....

 

[Dr. Treez84]

Do you think you will produce more with the two light deps rather than one monster season?

The second light dep will get much bigger & scrogged, and they can harvest them earlier, before their outdoor plants finish. Rolling harvest.....

This is a 100% sativa that was mainlined and light depped:

@Mohican what was the dry weight on that little beastly lady?

@doublejj lookin outstanding. I'm gonna do this but on a small scale for some early personal smoke. I bet it smells awesome in there in the early morning.

 

[Mohican]

Filled a giant mason jar! I don't weigh anything. I do love to smell it and smoke it. Although I have not smoked her yet. She smells like pineapple and black pepper in the jar. It was more of an experiment to see how the ML and light dep worked on keeping sativas short and finishing before January. I harvested her the night before Halloween.

I didn't give any of her away at the cup because she is my first cross (Holy Smoke Mulanje Gold - bubblegum pheno x Holy Smoke Mozambican Poison). Come by and visit and we can try her together

 

[Wilksey]

Those are some healthy looking plants!

question...
if the sun is going down between 7 - 8 pm here and wont be able to cover'em at the end of the day BUT I CAN UN-COVER THEM EVERY DAY AT 8AM is that ok? the sun comes up between 6 - 7am so thats still light deprevation! right?

 

[Mohican]

Just keep uncovering later and later to match the time the sun goes down. If they are sativa dominant you can even go 13 hours dark.
