greenhouse vs shed

So a friend and I are planning on setting up a grow we're debating whether buying a greenhouse with all the proper ventilation of course or getting a shed and trying to make a garage door opener for the rooftop.

My questions are for u ghouse guys how do u harvest in the middle of the summer with 16-18hrs of sunlight. Do you just push bloom or let it veg or tarp it and try to keep it on a 12hr schedule.

Have any of you guys who tried tarping it have any hermie issues from light penetrating.

Growing conditions are san diego weather i can grow all yr round here. we just want to be able to put down harvest all yr round, use as much sun as possible to minimize expenses.

Why not try autoflowers?

Got a grower friend who double harvests in summer. Pulls light proof poly over his greenhouse frame every night after 12 hrs of light. What a PIA though.

light proof poly i've never heard of it. i'm going to look into that thx. i don't like autoflowers because i reveg after harvests so I can have 6-8ft plants. autoflowers u can't control anything about them just give nutes and watch em go.

yeah it's a pia especially if you have a day job. but thx for the info tho i appreciate it

hey are you talking about the panda film. with black on one side and white on the other. i've seen and used this before but never thought over a ghouse

just let it grow natural .. plant in April .. harvest in Oct.
what's wrong with that ?

If you plant clones in April, they will try to bloom and re-veg. Seeds in Ap is good.. I shoot for planting in early June from clone.
1lb plants that stay about waist high.

in Nor-cal, many plants will finish in the middle of August if there is plenty of shade.. smaller plants though, get a dense strain to compensate. I had a plant with the full nor-Cal sun-arc that did not start until the end of September, almost rotted going into late Nov.

shoot for at least 6 hours of direct sun in the summer, anything less will have early flowers and prob not as good as the mid-October fest, stuffs.

agree .. we use feminized seed .. pop them first week of April ..
