Lol that's great. I almost commented on how freakishly long his colas are also. Lol. It's beautiful any way ya look at it though Good job @JimmiP

Stackers are pretty. Wish I was able to reveg mine.

Well is almost October so here are my reveged gas mask. It's been a rough last few weeks with PM and now boytritis. I'm having to chop a couple bud rots off of each plant every morning now. But I guess that's all part of going native with your girls,

Thank you guys. That I.G. cush was a wierd/nice one the first time around too. It's a Green Cush cross with an Unknown father. I would guess that it was a nanner someone didn't catch. But in the end who knows. I had four seeds that were good and got four different phenos. Two of them were super earthy, and spicy al.ost to the point of skunk puss. And two were earth and spicy with a lot of citrus scent and slightly skunky. This was my favorite one so I kept it.
The reasons they got so long were, that there were just a bunch of vertical branching after the reveg and she was the smallest plant going in and furthest north in the hoop house. So she had to compete with the other four plants for space and light. And they have not made it easy for her to get either.

In this photo you can see the "gnar whale horn" in the near right. And soooo,,, to the south she has a bunch of competitors vying for space. Lol.

Man I need a Hoop house like that. As soon as funds allow though!

Guy at the end of my street replaced his fancy shelter logic carport this spring. Better frame than mine laying next to the new one all summer. Probably cheap. Wish I had room.

I used dwv PVC and lumber for the frame. Screened the ends and lower sides for bugs. Reinforced the walls with chicken wire (to keep meth heads out and cats from scratching through the screen). All of which was pretty inexpensive.

The plastic, lock channel and wiggle wire were the most expensive parts at around $358.00 delivery included.

A person could buy all of the parts over time throughout the winter without spending much at one time. It doesn't need to be finished until June anyway. That's how I did it.

I hope everyone who wants to build one finds out that it's not that hard and costs less than you would think. And there is also the benefits of keeping your plants out of the rain. And it also limits the amount of exposure to pests.

I even covered my screened areas with weed barrier to keep most particulates (such as all the freaking hemp pollen!!! Jeeeezsch!) Out of the place and so far so good in "Parts Unknown!", no seeds to be seen forming.

However, if I could go back and do anything on the hoop house differently, it would be one thing- MAKE IT BIGGER!!!! Because it's so full now it gets hard to move around in there without getting sticky.
I mean, after walking through there, I could probably roll up quite a bit of hash off of my arms. I just don't like the idea of the taste of hash mixed in with burnt arm hair. Lol.

But anyway, build away my friends! Your plants will thank you for it. Just think of all the grass that wont get wasted by bud rot or broken and even killed by wind and hail damage. That alone could pay for a large part (if not all) of the build.
Good luck friend!

Right on Brother, yeah I really want at least a 15×20 greenhouse some how for next summer. I am sick n tired of growing killer plants into October, just too have my prized buds ruined. Thank You for the plans. It doesn't seem as expensive as I thought at first. But I Straight Up am light deprivation on my plants starting july 7th of next summer. The humidity n rain just is not codusive for a aunatural native grow in my backyard apparently. LOL.

The new house totally messed me up. Now that I know. Look out. I got from Sept 1st till mid April to veg upto 4 over winter. And I have rolls of landscape fabric to run dep. A tarp should be cheap too. I'm down with the houses.

I had to buy a $150 5000cfm pedestal fan to just meet air flow requirements. Make sure you engineer ventilation in.

And that's what shys me away from the building of a simple but effective hoop house. Is I guess I think I need a black/white light dep. Cover, Then all the pvc, and base boards, But.. I will find A way to light dep my plants next summer. Cropping on error bouts September 10th. Wish me luck peeps, Because Bud Rot Sucks.. Here's some of my summer light dep buds been cured about 3 weeks now.

Luck and any help I can offer. I'm school of hard knocks and poverty certified. Intuition filled my wallet for too long.

Right on! I just thought about mentioning that and picked up my phone to see you had.
Lots of fans,,, blowing all over. And exhaust fans at the peak on each end. Helps to screw with the pests and helps blend out hot spots. Also, roll up sides really help the air flow.

Oooh! I just thought of something useful. I am friends with our local greenhouse owners. And I have talked extensively with people there for years about many different plants and gardening styles. They have lots of great information to share about plants and as it turns out,,, greenhouses. So, I was talking to one of them about building this thing. He gave me advice about plastic, lock channels and wiggle wire and AIRFLOW! He even gave me his catalogues for companies he buys from.
Plus while you're there you can take the time to really look at the structure of their hoop houses and green houses. It'll help you visualize the way you want to do it. At least it really helped me.
After I decided what company I was getting my plastic from, I went back to talk to him about it. I told him the roof skin I chose and that I was going to use cheap clear six mill just on the end walls during late fall. That's when he told me the useful thing I mentioned at the beginning. (Not that all the other ways they helped me weren't useful) but he told me that commercial greenhouses buy their plastic material in bulk and usually have short rolls they might part with. Then he gave me enough (for free mind you, [I love this cat]) to do the end walls.
So go make friends (if you haven't already) with your local greenhouse people. Lol. Sorry, that was longer than it needed to be. But I just got high on my own supply,,, it can have that effect on me.

I worked in greenhouses for years in my teens. They are a great resource for info and "scraps". I've since dumbed down most of the materials. !/2 - 3/4" PVC and connectors for frames. 5 mil contractors plastic by the 20' x 200' roll. $70. Most painters and drivit guys will sell you a partial or trade for a nice nugg. Synthetic uv resistant cord for guide wires. 16-18" stakes in place of augers. And padded hose mounting clamps for transitions to lomber or othe building material. Just add good double sided greehouse tape and some help putting it together. Built at least a dozen this way for others.

The half inch PVC on the corners of my bed are sunk 3' into the ground. Anchor points for the removable hoops I had used for a few years. Way more solid than a frame base.

Yeah that's the way my friend. I have a buddy (former roofing buddy) looking for a big sheet of fiber reinforced visquene for me. I used to have enough of that to cover two hoop houses of this size but lost track of it over the years. He will probably find me some for free though. I have him looking because I want to put a second layer over the whole thing and inflate it for the winter. I might put some cover crops on the raised beds an grow some more greens and such in there for a while after the harvest.

I'm doing an inside 5 mil skin in the spring. Was a painter and have nuggs. Damn condensation is insane in my 20x 10 x9'6". Worse when I heat. 40's and wet here next 4 days. Then colder.
