6mil plastic.
I highly recommend Farmtek greenhouse sheeting. $27 to cover a carport & it's made for greenhouses.

JJ im still having a hard time finding the part in your thread when you use zip ties to make the roof taunt. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I used this re-inforcement tape but it didn't work, the sun cooked the tape & it peeled off. I was gonna double the plastic on the ends & run the zip-ties thru 2 layers of plastic next year

Hey Bigapple, if you need fresh compost or worm castings for your soil mix, I know a couple of local places, & they load it for you.

When I was doing the remodel at my house people at the dump would be pissed when they saw me unload a full size longbed in 45 seconds and they were throwing stuff out a piece at a time. It worked great for pea gravel and soil too but I have a spray in bedliner so its a little sticky. If you dont have a bedliner or have a plastic drop in its smooth like butter.

I have a sprayed-in bedliner. I'll just put a sheet of plastic down. I already ordered it from Cabela's, $159

Doublejj you should check one of these out for this years run. I have one and it saves my back and a ton of time.. http://www.loadhandler.com/
I think that may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I grew up in a construction family, so I've been unloading pick-ups for longer than I will ever admit...but more than 4 decades. Anybody with a gardening jones or a hobby farm needs one of these. It will pay for it self in the reduction of massage and chiropractor visits!
 
You think i could do this with 15-20 gallon smartpot(or 25), and keep some relatively small plants(no taller then me/or less then 6'6" preferred). I planned on building a small greenhouse with the farmtek stuff and the mesh siding stuff. Big enough for two or three plants. It'd be my first grow ever.
I planned on doing Nirvanas Northern Lights and AK48. Still on the fence with G13 labs "Sour Candy" (sour diesel x bubble gum). I want quality rather than quantity. Gonna "hide" the "greenhouse" behind the rest of our garden/chickencoop, or it'll go in my neighbors/best friends backyard, but i have a feeling he'd try to cut it down and smoke it immediately or something. I'd feel much better with it in my backyard.

Also, what kind of humidity are you getting where you are, average in my area is 65%-75% during "growing season", would i have to run a fan or dehumidifier or something(i also remember something about a sulfur something, but i think thats for bugs). My brother probably knows, but he's sleeping.

Only reason i want to grow is i promised my mom and dad i would only smoke weed that i grew myself. It'd probably be the best weed ever in my small town, lol... All these kids at my school smoking K or something(i think it wasnt any good), that's what they call it.

Well, thanks. Also, if anyone could chime in on those strains.


P.S.
I only posted here because i want to copy your grow, and my brother said no-one on here trusts people with no posts...

We tried to grow some bagseed last year, my brother spent like $120, trying to obtain some seeds(before he knew about attitude). We had a foot and a half tall plant. It rained for 2 weeks straights and clay enveloped it and killed it. Another seedling got plucked by my neighbor/bestfriends, friend.

P.S.S (is that correct??)
Great grow(s) JJ. The stories about that ripper made me laugh. You got a great thread here. I wish cruzer were still around too. He inspired us to try and grow that bagseed. Also i might add, i've never smoked weed, drank or anything, i dont even cuss, me and my brother censor ourselves, by saying beep. Lame, i know, but its funny, and everyone else cusses where a cussword shouldnt be.


How is that for a first post.

Ok im going to stop typing now.

Thanks for posting sqbear, sounds like you have a good plan. If you start a grow thread I'll read it & help you all I can.
If you use mesh for the walls of your greenhouse you won't need a fan, the air just blows thru the mesh.
Good luck, keep us posted

peace

Yeah, that silver tape is great! So many hardy uses for it. I've been zip typing my tarps onto my carport frame for as long as I've had my carport gardens...going on 6 years now. The zips are perfect! Go buy them a Harbor Freight...they are really inexpensive and you can get the 11" and even longer if you need longer ones. I use the 8" and 11" zips. :bigjoint: GG

Hey, Doublejj, got time for a MaxSea question? When do you start feeding the babies and what strength? Cloned our legal limit, and once they were happy, started giving them 1/4 strength Max Sea. It's already crystal clear I started too early and they are going to be crazy huge by the last frost.

Built the schedule thinking in terms of seeds and then these clones sort of jumped in my cart in December... My bad. I wanted to try growing trees like yours, but the plan is already headed for the ditch! Ideas??? Thanks!
