Details please
I hunted thru 3 packs - Super lemon haze, Jack herer, and kings kush. The kk I was trying to re-find a clone from a dispensary labeled kinds kush that was dank was fuck, but alas no luck . None of the plants resembled breeder description, and the phenos were all over the place. There was a decent SLH and a decent JH pheno, the rest were Blah at best. No smell in flower, and no bag appeal, really short highs, and fluffy buds is what I recall. Don't have pics anymore though, laptop that has em went kersplat. That was all indoor runs, not outdoor so possibly better outdoors.

I can say - breeders boutique cheese surprise was mighty fine smoke - shes in my avatar on the end. 3+ # outta a 65. Needed a lot more support then I had - patients loved her though. Would have been epic if I had cages and supported her, or had a much much bigger pot. The other 3 phenos weren't as vigorous as the one that went into the big pot, but they all ended up really excellent smoke, and dense nuggest of resin covered deliciousness. More sweet cheese then funky cheese on 2, and the 3rd was nose curdling stanky cheese.

You guys don't get the intense thunderstorms with the 70+ mph winds in North Cali in the spring and late summer man or do you have some pretty good wind breaks around you? I'm wide open to the prevailing southwest winds here and the Gulf moisture induced severe thunderstorms that have some dubbing my area the new tornado alley. I lost my carport a couple years ago and it was anchored to concrete. I'm afraid that greenhouse wouldn't make it through a season where I live without being folded up like a tumbleweed. I'm considering a GH myself but strength will be a concern when I do.

Everything looks tight man!

I got high winds smidge. You need thick pipes. Place the ribs ever 4 feet instead of 6 feet. And bury those pipes 2 to 4 feet down.

I'm getting it started early this year.I've bought a 7ft wide x 20ft long greenhouse and I ordered some seeds for my first time(Usually I buy clones or do random seeds). 5 heavyweight fruitpunch fem, 5 hso bluedream fem, also some freebies 1 dinafem og kush fem, 2 dinafem cheese fem, and 5 Afghani. I'll get those vegging in the greenhouse with some lights to keep them from flowering if needed. Also picking out a good auto strain. Gonna do 20 or so autos for a early harvest. Clones will be coming within the next few weeks as well. I'll check the collectives for anything tasty and probably get some from a friend. He's got candland, deadhead og, and TGA's Mothertongue. So many things to do! I can't wait.
your ordered from herbies ?

I used 2 carports last year...all i can say is, you will never again see a cannabis plant, or any plant for that matter, under a carport on my farm.

This years greenhouse has 22 t-posts, all pounded 3 feet into the ground with the bows anchored to the tposts, with 6 end-wall posts per end wall cemented 2 feet into the ground. I then have 2x4 pressure treated base boards, which are drilled thru, and then anchored to the tposts. Then 2 foot osb sidewalls. Then 8 rat runs -going from end wall to end wall and connecting bows as one unit, which is also connected to the upright posts. I have already had very high winds, and storms a plenty. it has stayed 100% solid and firm.
