doublejj's In & Out grow

[doublejj]

Here's a few pictures for you greenthumb:

They are 5 weeks old, but are only 6" tall. They were stunted early from heat issues, but have bounced back and seem to be thriving outdoors right now. I have until November for the first frost. Any suggestions? We're talking about 3 plants of unconfirmed sex bagseed here.

Sandman,
Your not gonna get much bud from a 6" plant. You have till November, I would grow them a little bigger and put them out the end of Sep. At least you'll get enough to be worthwhile.

Thank you olishell, and thanks to all, for your kind words.
I'm just trying to share some love!

Ok, back to greenthumb.
1. tools needed
2.ziptie close-up
3.view thru screen
4.additional bottom PVC rail.

First attach the Sun screen cloth pieces to the frame. The zipties will poke thru the screen anywhere. Don't use too many zipties (1 every 18'). You'll be adding many more when you attach the plastic roof.

Once the screen is 'tacked' in place, pull the 6mil plastic sheeting over the top. I started ziptieing the plastic at the peak of the roof and worked down both sides.

With a dime store (remember those?) hole punch (see picture) you can punch a clean hole about 1" in, anywhere along the edge you wish. That 1" strip of 6mil plastic is what your ziptieing to the frame. Look at the close-up you can see the zip-tie is holding about 1" of plastic.

6mil plastic is much heavier than your average trash bag. This stuff don't rip easy! I stitch the plastic sheeting with a zip-tie every 6"-8" inches. Snip them off.

The plastic side wall is attached to a 20' piece of PVC I added along the bottom. If I just snip a few zipties up the posts, I can roll the sides up for total ventilation! Just have a plastic top!

So far it has held-up to some pretty strong wind, however look at where it is. There are 'windbreaks' on all 4 sides. Not going to get that much wind.

Great Job

Thank you for the kind words.

One thing that has been a pleasant surprise has been the 'illuminated' effect the whole roof gets when the Sun hits it.

The Sun can be at a great angle to the greenhouse but, as long the Sun is hitting the roof, it just explodes with light! It's like a great big diffuser. The whole greenhouse lights-up. The Sun doesn't have to hit every plant directly.

I've tried to show the 'illumination' effect in these pictures. The pictures really don't do it justice, it's much more pronounced in person, but I think you get the idea.

Anyway it's a great light disperser.

The role up sides are genuis. Hats off.



Do those come in camo, 30X30?

 

[doublejj]

Aw Shucks, it was nothing............!

I'm humbled.

P.S. And I didn't even show you this picture. Color coded! Cut the white, leave the yellow, roll-it-up!


Yeah, that's it! The Roll-it-up Greenhouse!

First a little music for you to listen to while you view the pictures.Put on your headphones, and listen to this while you view, enjoy:

They are looking amazing, i live in socal and am flowering at the time too, sun is just right for these babies, that is gonna be some killer smoke man. Enjoy the fruits of your labor

Thanks peps,

The greenhouse condenses the smells. You can almost 'taste' them when you go inside.

Don't forget to put on the music!

The carport, er greenhouse was $189 at Costco. There's about $30 worth of plastic & 2 rolls of shade cloth. Less than $300 total!

I will take clones from the girls in the basement this weekend & start another generation!

I forgot to mention that I have 5ea med cards posted, got to love Cali!

Those are 15gal pots filled with 50/50 mix of FF Ocean Forest & Happy Frog. Plain dirt!

I have recently fallen off the organic wagon. I used MG on these. Now before you go and chastise me take a close look at how deep the frost is developing on these flowers. And did somebody say "BIG BUD" contest? Look at that big Kush bud eating a water bottle!

How bout this BEAST devouring sherry's head and arm! It's a little Pure Landrace Afghan!

 

[doublejj]

Yeah that's a big one!

They have to be the same strain!

She's Beautiful!........and the plant too!

I think I need to get some red flowers on mine, look's like they attract girls!

Good job, how great is it here in Cali?

 

[Muscle Bud]

Sup there doubleJJ??

I do the inboard / outboard thing as well. Here are the indoor girls. Oh.....and you are using a 6mil plastic for the roof yes?

here is my DYI double bulb air cooled hood.

 

[doublejj]

Right on Dude, high5! On all accounts!

Nice work, looks like we dance to the beat of the same drummer! I feel you!

I'll keep an eye on your grow journal.

Yeah, it's 6mil plastic sheeting from HD! The carport frame was from Costco. I guess I'm a bit of a do-it-yourself'er, like you. LOL!

Hey, wait a minute! I was born in SoCal...........Dad?

 

[doublejj]

Well, as my Dad moves, again, (we were so close this time!), I thought I give an update on Gen2 & Gen3.

Even though all of the Gen2 plants had between 6" to 12" removed for clones (other pictures) they are all now well adjusted in their new 15gal pots! They are already between 18" & 30" tall & starting to fill-in nicely. We'll see how they bush-up, in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, over in the nursery, Gen3 is doing well also. Looks like 100% survival after one week. Should see roots poking out of the bottom holes in a couple of days. They're looking good for now!

Peace!
P.S. Dad, call home, we still love you!

 

[Muscle Bud]

Still here Jr. and the grow is looking fabulous! A chip off the old green bud!
