Carport GreenHouse 2011

JJ,what was the name of the material you used for the top of your greenhouse this year and how did you end up attaching it?Thank you very much for taking the time to put up these posts,you are an inspiration for the rest of us.I get ALOT of wind in my area,have you ever had problems with the wind and the carport?thanks again bro,AWESOME job,your the only guy i know who needs a manlift to harvest!

I bought Sunmaster clear greenhouse film from Farmtek. $27 to cover the greenhouse.

I put a piece of re-enforced tape & zip-ties to attach the plastic to the frame

I used a lot of zip-ties, no problems with the wind.

watch the water leaks if and when it rains.. causes a lot of moisture.. you know what that will cause.. nice job on the green house bro.. i'll b watching u grow

I hear you bro, don't want mold. The top has no zip-ties in the middle, only the outer edge. The top is whole with out any holes except around the outside edge, no leaks.

looking great. yep ur set to grow just like me. my roof turnd out bitchen this year. should have no leaks my self.. great job..

All i can say is I cant wait to see more! This guy is gonna have a blast this year! Cant wait to do somethen like this myself.

What's up jj-
The greenhouse is looking great!, I have a couple of questions.....
1) I thought you were using "Solex" panels and not the greenhouse plastic.for the roof this year?
2) Last years plastic looked like it diffused the light better/different then this years roof?
3) This years roof looks like it lets in more light, but how about the security/lookie loos issues, I can see right through that roof. I guess when you have the roof 15+ feet up, that's not an issue!
Keep up the good work-
TMB-

thanks for the photos JJ,I also thought you were going with the panels this year,any reason you chose not too?I was interested in the solex as im in such a windy area im afraid plastic might get torn up.

The solexx cost about $350 to cover the greenhouse. This sunmaster greenhouse plastic was $27. There are many different greenhouse films with different light defusion. This is the clear type. They have it in white also. If this doesn't work I'll put solexx on.

You can't see thru the roof from the ground. You would have to get onto my neighbors roof to see thru. I've never seen them up there.

Solexx would work very well, I just tried to save a little money. I may still cover it with solexx.

yo man, you better hurry up, time's gettin' short!! Lookin' good as usual man. I just rented a new place where I will have more freedom to do what I want. I won't be able to do a 40 plant monster or nothin', but I can do some indoor there and some outdoor (small) and a GREENHOUSE!! I'll be moving in there the first of June, so by the fall when outdoor is done, I'll be ready for a winter GH grow! I'll still be doin' the 6 I strated though outside. Glad to see your gettin' closer............hurry hurry!

Oh yea...plus rep you winer! haha

Thanks Wheez'y, you know I'm watching your grow. This years plants are doing well, indoors right now. I'll plant them outside in a couple of weeks. Good luck with your grow, I know your gonna kill it this year. Thanks for the encouragement.

I had too finish a little business from last season, knee surgery. You can see my dr's signature in pen under the bandage.
I had my ACL & Meniscus repaired. Should be back on my feet in a few days & I can get on with this season.

Good luck everyone, pay your health premiums! lol! Saved me a fortune. Do you think my HMO would have denied me, if they knew I did it falling off the ladder(in my Ganja garden)?

Thanks guy's, yeah I've been hobbling around on one leg since last season. This was to repair what I did last year falling off the ladder. Growing big Ganja is not for the faint of heart!

'sup doublejj, you've got some balls! Urban greenhouse growing, I like it! I might be able to do a similar situation but was concerned about the heat. Do you do attempt to seal the space at all to control ventilation or do you just roll up some of the walls?

When I was researching greenhouse films & panels, the concept of UVB not being able to penetrate was due to the UV inhibitors injected into the plastic to keep it from deteriorating. Do either of the two products above have UV inhibitors? Is there a difference between them and the poly that one gets at HD?
