Mini polytunnel auto ( chimpanzee ) grow.....tips and tricks welcome

HI MY NAMES ****
I AM ** YEARS OF AGE
I LIVE IN THE SMALL ENGLISH TOWN OF ******

hi all, now thats the formalities out of the way......
im newish to this site, and have grown for the last 4 years with outdoor varities in OZ. i came back to the uk and had a pop at tent and autos. this was throw and grow in a way. the science of it all and the constent paranoia became a headache in a matter of weeks !!
so back to the great outdoorsand any advice, tips or tricks to be shared would be a great.

my set up -

mini polytunnel 1.5m by 3m

beds with native and tomorite giant planters mixed
bat/worm/small dolomite/blood and bone/potash and kelp along with a few more extras
always include homemade copper flilings....... had a slug fest if i remember 5 years back

biobizz root,veg,bloom

dutch passion seeds

7-automazar
7-bluemazar
7-think different

seperate complete outside

3- frisian dew

from 600 to the SUN...... lets hope for an indian summer for all the photos.....

thanks guys

Sounds like a dope setup my friend, cheers! look’n forward to the progress

thnks takaosma, lets hope the weather is 'A' OK...... may even get the full 3 lots back to back or staggered at the least. more the merrier hey...
anyone else taking the auto route outside??

Hope’n for the best of weather on this side of the world too I’m a staggering sorta dude, can’t trust my self with the whole lot at one time

better to walk away with some than none at all staggering is the only way to realy smash the summer apart with autos. what pisses me off is the price for the autofems i understand alot of work has gone into the strains etc but ffs...... im going for a throw and grow fingers crossed. the early may till june/july is the GREED / TRIAL RUN.. if i can knock a few down by june and the rest are a week above ground im guaranteed a bumper june/july/aug ?!! ....... haha who am i kidding. god you gota love the British Isles best of luck mate too keep us updated

im sure your weather will be just grand lucky F*****S out there on there private islands and bright white beaches ......... well i been to butlins minehead as a kid so ive seen my fair share of paradise haha...

Exactly! some is always better than none, but you’re right autofems are big $$$ but totally worth it! I’m thinking the same as far as trial run june/july. But I feel like people think I’m in Hawaii cause of my “Northshore” grow, not quite. I’m in the greater Oregon area in the states, SoooO I’m still battling slush and snow currently

bloody hell. well i hope the season gets going very soon. expensive trials they may be. but in the long run. if we pull 2 sets or even 4 over 4 month/5......then a relatively cheap excersise to be honest for the cost of 10 each time. still keep us updated buddy always nice to see a fellow grow across the pond

Post pics; I grow in the treetops in buckets,
I want to see your copper slug armor.

unfortunately pal its still march here in UK. rather simple just copper pipe bent around the base of the plant. has worked in greenhouses before with young plants. but if totaly outside then we got lovely blue pellets to stop them. im sure you understand that a prefabricated picture would hardly show or prove the prevention of these pests by this method growing in trees sounds fantstic and i hope it works out fore you this year, unfortunately were i live any sightings of actual gorrila like behaviour is met with over curiosity etc....
ALSO IT USED TO BE A GAMEKEEPER AND MINDLESS KILLING FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF A NON NATIVE SPECIY IS NOT CORRECT COUNTRYSIDE MANAGEMENT. SO IF I CAN DETER A FEW FROM MUNCHING ON MY BABIES WITH COPPER. IM ALL GAME FOR THAT EACH TO YOUR OWN.

PICS OF THIS GROW WILL FOLLOW 100% ALL I CAN SAY IS BEST OF LUCK AND THANKYOU FOR YOUR PICS THEY LOOK FANTASTIC. I WOULD LOVE TO TRAIL THIS METHOD. ALSO WHAT WOULD THE MAIN PROBLEMS YOU OCCUR IN AN ELEVATED POSITION BE?? POSOTIVES ARE ABUNDANT- MIST BURNING OFF QUICKER/PESTS/LIGHT...... VERYINTERESTED. nt-UK p.s the name treehouses reffered to lofts

Will do dude! I know it though, in the end you’d rather drop cash on beans, instead of cash on grams Just saw a few of my seedlings pop out the ground, I’ll have a pic in a few days! Right back at cha trees

all sounding good im so impatient... still im all ready when the gun goes off. guess its just waiting and getting as much nitrogen into the soil as poss for me still. new area this year to try out so fingers crossed. and this tree top growing has realy got me wound up !! .......... i absolutely love the idea but the practicality is out of the question... or is it ?? the thought of effort vs 100% reward = happy face. but a broken leg or an embarrassing late summers evening hanging from a tree by a length of rope from my foot is just too much of a reality for a numb dumb like me. were i am it has to be a 'by the cover of darkness' ......... glad we have the first pop for you its really making me buzz. thanks for update. peace
