It gets pretty windy here as well. Its stayed in place with 20mph gusts. I got poles to hold it down but its done really well so i havent put them in. I live in the hills and it gets pretty windy here. The rocks by the door were replaced but they were never meant to hold it down, they were holding the black tarp for light depo until I got 2x4s.

There has been a flurry of activity, up on the farm this week. I just haven't been there to see it. Much progress has been made, things are shaping up fast. I'll get some update pictures soon. For now the best I can do is pic's of the seedlings/plants, that are filling up the carport. I spotted a couple of males while I was watering yesterday, it might be time to cull a few....

Can we see it in action and the set up? I'm curious at the effort it takes to cover that 30 x 60 greenhouse.

Yeah, i'll take more pictures & give you more of a run down as we use it. Today was the first time they got it working. I think It will be a 2 man operation because of the size of the greenhouse. Thankfully we will only use it for a short time in the spring. The full season & late season crops won't need it. we will remove the arm & tarp for storage in a few weeks...

I think I'd be engineering a wench/telephone pole system to pull it up and over. I can't imagine pulling it up and over with a bit of wind.....ugghh!

Yeah, we are blazing new trails with this set-up. There may be a good reason why they don't offer a dep arm this size & we had to have it custom made....we're gonna find out right now. That's why we only bought one arm set for 1 of the greenhouses, make sure it works first. I'll let you know how it works, I'm on my way up to deliver more plants today....

Hell yeah. That's awesome man, and will pay for itself after awhile (no more renting). :clap:

The UHAUL's were cheap enough to rent, this is more for discretion & peace of mind. I have lived in this neighborhood for 20+ years. I know all my neighbors. As soon as I backed a uhaul into the diveway they started asking if I was moving?...I can park the van in my driveway & use it for running errands and they won't even notice it in short time....

I asked for a tesla for Christmas. I got a tee shirt and a gift bag :)

Those plants are soooo green! Maxsea is awesome!

Perform a stem rub on the male and tell me what you smell. Most will smell dark like tobacco. I toss those. Every once in awhile I will come across one that smells amazing. I keep those. When they grow out if they are spindly or go herm I toss them. Otherwise they are very special and are worth tending. You can keep them at your house with the vegging plants. Collect the pollen and use it to breed some super strains :)

Cheers,
Mo
