My god...

I'm not going to lie - I haven't read all 80 pages here, so it probably has been answered already, but what kind of a yield are you aiming for with this grow? I'd assume you're well past it? Haha.

Hi LVTDY, welcome to my journal.
I really dont have a clue, my indoor I get between 5 and 8 ounces from a 2x4 area this is 12x7.
It's my first grow in this, figured it was gonna be a lot.

gunna have to put all the roof panels up, :) Fantastico!
If they dont stop I just may have to sneak out there at night and remove the panels.
How the hell I am gonna get to those screws? I dont know.

if you have a long ladder, you can lay it out flat on the roof, have someone bigger than you stand on the end, or park a car over it your not gonna move a car!!, and then you have a more balanced distribution of weight across the top of the roof. you can also you the bed of a truck to compensate for shorter ladders. we used to do this all the time with steep shit when i did vinyl siding. works great at low heights, a little more testing of nerves at 25'-35' up!!

It seems you've had a lot of grows under your belt (just checked your cab thread) and although this may come as quite an open ended question, which strain has been your best for say cerebral effect, couch lock, all over high, taste etc. Just wondering because I like to go for well recommended strains when I'm growing.

OK I tied them back once again. I tried to get a shot of the canopy here from inside,









I held the camera up and shot. 2 out of 6 came out.
Its hard to get a still shot with all these fans in here but here is a good one of a bud I tied back today. Saved another one!













See how fast its filling up, those other shots through the roof were just a couple days ago. I think I got the center filled.

Oh, and yea thats a piece of PVC holding the vent up. I broke the spring fucking with it and cant get to it to fix it now.
I should have left it alone till after harvest.​
Just beautiful!

I mentioned in my thread the nets used to keep birds out of fruit trees as a possible solution. After seeing your situation, I think it might be the only reasonable solution. Anchor the net on one wall of the green house about half way down. Pull it over the canopy and anchor the net to the other side, pulling everything away from the ceiling. It will require some adjustments, but will be far more effective than trying to Supercrop, or tie several hundred branches down, individually(been there, done that, and have the carpal tunnel to prove it).

Keep me posted?

Thats a good idea, I cant get a truck back there but I do have an extention ladder my bud left here. Dude, 25-35' up? yea i guess so! You wouldnt see me doing that.

Yea bud, looks like they will finish at different times but its gonna be work.

I would have to say Trainwreck from Greenhouse seeds was the best I have grown so far. Instant buzz, relaxing kinda up high that lasts for about 2 hours. You read my cabinet grow and saw I grew that strain under three different lights, the floros had the most trichomes out of the three. (I also used Ceramic metal halide and high pressure sodium) If I was going to grow it again I would scrog it under T-5 lighting.

Sure I will keep you posted.

Yes, that sounds like a great idea. I am off to order some now.

I started paying closer attention to the condensation that was building up on the roof panels in the mornings. It was burning off by about 10:30 but Im thinking thats to much moisture in the air. Now we just got a heat wave, temps close to 100° so last night I removed the front panels to get more air in there and let the fans go all night.
I went out this morning at about 9:00 and it was dry as a bone.

Figured I would get a couple shots,




This is Casey Jones, the little one on the right is the Blue Dream in the regular pot that got spidermites.




Bubba Kush on the left and Santa Cruz OG Kush on the right.





Behind this wall and topping it off is Blue Cheese and Blueberry and Blue Dream. The taller strains.
All three would have been at least eight feet tall if I didnt train them. Remember, these are planted in 10 gallon smartpots that stand about a foot tall. I think thats infreakinsanity!

For next year you should hinge that whole front wall so you can raise and lower for easier access. Or maybe seperate it into halves, make it lighter for the hinges and for you to lift it. And of course, spectacular!

Full to the brim, shit theres just tons of green every where you look very nice!!

Just a idea what if after this grow you took out the pavers and dug up the floor a foot or two. That would give your more room, maybe even just barring the plants into the ground would help.

Any ideas what your going to run in there over the winter, if your still planning on that.

Those are both good ideas. But man, diggin holes and razin the roof sounds like a lot of work.
I think I am going to be much better prepared next summer and have a screen in place when they are young.
Keep them about 4 foot tall by topping and tying close to the screen untill flower then let them go.

Depends on the strain. I think four purple power plant girls would do it almost on there own.
Plant seedlings late may and by now they would fill it out pretty good.

But this grow, yea, Im gonna try some netting and fans for now. Keep it normal looking.

For winter I was planning on doing a run of the SCOG Kush but they never rooted.
I got a small Blue dream and 6 fem seed Master Kush.

Looking beastly Cruze. Start watching for choppers, jk. But that is the best personal green house Ive ever seen, gets sicker every time I see it.

Thanks Integra, What's really sick is the choppers can land in my yard if they wanted to and it would bother me a bit.
According to the law I can have 12 plants in flower and 24 in veg. I got 7 in flower and 1 in veg. I'm way under the limit.

There is so much less stress going legal. Sure you may lose a job if your employer dont like it but fuckem, You know the old saying "I was lookin for a job when I found that one and I will find another". Ya Just got to watch out for thieves not cops.

But ya I put a lot of time, effort and thought into it and appreciate the compliment.
Lets see if I can keep these beastly bitches in line.
