My Growitup Greenhouse Grow 2010

[HowzerMD]

Ha! There's a reason insects have been here millions of years longer than us, I tells ya. Juuuust enough of an environment for them to survive and it's on. But hell, you blasted the piss out of them at the end of the summer so I figured that coupled with cold temps would keep em at bay.

 

[gumball]

well aint neither you nor the mites given up, but I think you got 'em ready to pull back

that light seems to work well. it shouldnt glow to much in the dark will it?

 

[theloadeddragon]

do you have fans on at night?

You and me both. Time to break out the arsenal, troops cant deploy until it warms up some though.

Yea the mites are mostly juveniles and eggs at this point. That knockout spray worked pretty good before, we'll see. Yea she glows some. Not too much through the back but you can definitely tell there is a light on. I figure there is less stoners up at 5 am so I'm gonna add the light in the morning.

do you have fans on at night?

Actually no, its pretty cold and I didnt want to make it any colder so I haven't been running anything but the dehumidifier and small heater.

[cruzer101]

Thanks Chrono, You da man! That makes us feel a lot better.
Neither one of us likes squirrel stew but I did have a kettle on the fire for it. We'll go ahead and have burgers.

Hey gumball, Yea, she glows alright, I heard about it this morning. I didn't tell my roommate and she said the whole yard was lit up. LOL
Her bedroom window is right there I didn't think of that. Im gonna turn it on tonight and get a look at it. I'll take a pic for ya.

Oh, Phyzix, good choice, that stuff works fast.

 

[HowzerMD]

Hahaha High-Beamin your room-mate at 5am Cruzer, slick man. Real slick.

 

[cruzer101]

I guess it is a little bright

At least the bright part is below the fence line but ya, she puts off some light alright.

Not so bad with the flash on,

.

 

[CultivationArt]

hahaha, thats great, i wonder what everyone would think after seeing that?

first thing to my mind is a bumb campin in a shed, lol

 

[chrono]

If i saw that id just think the bugs are afraid of the dark, either that or max is on a bender, still up having a compression session in the shed at 5am.

 

[HowzerMD]

It's a beacon for potheads

A compression session, wow its been a while. Used to do that in a VW bug.
Funny thing, Max dont like the smoke, he'll eat it fast enough though, he got a bite off my silver jack mum today when I wasnt looking.

Yea, I checked the opposite side, I think I high beamed the neighbors that called the cops too. not sure if it was them but I think it was. Anyway I put some blinders on the bitch, Had a roll of construction paper and lined the upper left and right side, now its just close encounters in my yard.

 

[gumball]

That's funny as hell!! So you just gonna run it at night instead or keep the same schedulE?

 

[cruzer101]

Ya know, I was thinking about that last night. There are a bunch of Christmas lights on the houses around here, I was thinking I could run one string of white lights across the top, plug them into the timer with the 600w and have them come on in the evening. It would probably be less stress on the plants but I wouldn't get the benefit of the heat the light puts out in the morning. That and I think it energizes them and gets there juices flowing early in the day. The headband just loves it.

I didnt notice any dew this morning, I cut up a shop towel and covered the holes.

I think I am going to keep it the way it is and maybe just run it for 12 hours during the rainy season. I got out my light meter and found when its cloudy it registers about 500 to 800 lumen. I believe that's enough to sustain life and produce some bud but add the 600w light and I have 1800 to 2000 lumen a couple feet away from the bulb so that covers them all.

Its real calm in the morning, gotta make sure I got no leaks when the wind is blowing before going 12 hours. I know I mentioned before I didn't want the attention a light would get in there but that was before I over grew the dam thing. My neighbors know I'm growing now, even the local police so why not get the most I can out of it.

 

[cruzer101]

Got the first set of clones from Silver jack rooted,
Real fuzzy roots in rapid rooter, Got some cool pics for ya.

Fuzzy porn,

I got six rooted and in soil.

I just took another six Silver Jack and a couple Headband from the largest plant.

So, six in cups and eight in the oven

The Silver jacks are gonna veg for a couple months in soil, probably get some 1 gallon smart pots for them. I should have some nice little bushes I can flower out for spring harvest. The headband is just to keep the strain alive. That's from the biggest one.

 

[gumball]

starting to all come together now that you got your feet wet with that thing this summer them are some great looking roots man, what do you use?

Fans won't cause your plants to "feel colder". Indeed, fans are widely used in commercial agriculture to prevent the harmful effects of frosts and deep freezing on fruits and vegetables in crops. It will help encourage transpiration as well by increasing the amount of dryer air passing by the open pores of the leaves, thereby reducing the chances of dew build up causing overbearing branches to break or peel, or snap off. Also.... couldn't you throw some black on one side white on the other poly plastic sheets up to block the light at night, so you could pull it back during the day? It would block the light inside from being visible outside, and help to reflect more of the light back towards your plants..... I always left my fans on at night or lights off period while growing inside, and had included many fans in my designs for my permanent greenhouse, half of the fans in my designs were meant to be left on 24/7, as it is moisture build up in low light settings that is the environment that is perfect for bud rot and mold to develop.

Hey Cruz nice root porn, as usual. Nice healthy stalky cuttings . I might have to agree with LoadedDragon's idea of a light barrier if you plan on using the lamp long term. I mean, if you don't decide to continue with the winter grows forget about it, but in the long run you may benefit from such a shade. Are you going to add silver jacks to the GH?
