My Growitup Greenhouse Grow 2010

[cruzer101]

I guess I could have been more specific with the strains, They are pretty new.

I think I remember this right,

Headband is OG Kush / Master Kush female and Sour Desel male
Hindu kush Skunk is Hindu kush female hash plant crossed with Skunk #1 male
Silver Jack is super silver haze female and jack Herer male.

All still alive and kicking. Same cab, didnt set up the other one yet.
But I did get that plastic roof off and two of the original roof panels back on the green house. Got some plumbing stuff I needed for the hydro out there. Weatherman says I got another sunny day coming and I think it best spent on getting that roof back on before it rains.

The Blue Cheese in the shed looks like its drying out fine so far. little crispy outside, not much. That dried sample was mighty tasty for fresh.​

 

[BooMeR242]

"cabs are here!" lol

 

[cruzer101]

Ha! yea man, You know that empty feeling you get when your between grows.
Same deal here. It just feels better having something alive in there. Figure I will make a veg station in them for now, mothers clones, and flower in the GH.
I got 12hrs or less daylight until April I think so I gotta time it right. May 1st is like 13 hours.

For people who haven't followed my previous grows, I have had several grows in a couple cabinets, didn't do too bad, pulled anywhere between 5-8 oz's each grow in the large one and 3-5 oz's in the small one before I built the green house.

Funny how its never enough, first the small cab, then the large, then the green house. Like your indoor man. I saw that sneak peak of your new room. what is that a 12 foot ceiling? You could stack grows on top of one another like a clone rack. LOL No height issues there man.

Well time to get that roof back on.

Man, I wish I could help! That's my field of expertise, building shit or modding it to be better. I enjoy growing, but still a bunch to learn so could say its my field of expertise!! Maybe my field of not so newbish! Have fun man, and teach max how to build, like in Evan Almighty where the Zoo animals help build the arc!!

 

[HowzerMD]

Yea Cruz, slap a harness on that moose and use him has a hoist LOL. The trickiest part would be training him to move back and forth when you need; I'll bet he can carry those roof panels .

funny u mention the downtime with no plants... i just ripped out my veg room and have 500cuttings under my T5s but thats it. so sad to walk in and see a boring ass bedroom. then my flower room looks like a graveyard of RW cubes and tree trunks sticking thru with cut down netting. lol. ive been working 12hrs a day between that shop build, my harvest, and breakdown/transition of growrooms.
im over stressed as is so i guess having live plants would only make it worse.

but ya its 12' high. shop is 50'x25'. but we broke everything down into veg, flower, drying, office, and bathroom. it was pretty banged up by the time i got in there but the price/security is right and saving $7k by building it myself. (plus its custom and i know how everything works and was put together)
remember im a white collar man myself, well in my previous life. lol. now i like to consider myself a greencollar (white x blue collar) haha.

double stacking in that shop wouldnt work tho. itd be like 5-6' tall rooms and no room for horz lights. maybe vert only... but ya im running a grip of adjusta wings horz with 4 UC systems that will be truely scrogged. GPW is sumthing like 1.8-2.0 -im down lol

u should bust a scrog in ur GH. u throwin any HIDs in it for ur winter run?

Hes just the oppisite, anything he gets a hold of he makes several pieces out of it.
Not to careful about it either.

Yea right, It would be nice to see him do something constructive but it just aint in 'em. Hes 100% play or sleep.

Green collar man, I like it.
Yea this shit isnt so hard, guess it would get old doing it for other people though.
Your at 2.0? Ya did it man. congrats. I looked at some shops a while back, just like you got, was gonna partner with this guy, it didnt work out but I was looking at the same size with a rollup in a commercial area. for around 6k a month with all the insurance upkeep and crap. Right on dude, you may be a bit stressed now but in a couple months your gonna be rollin.

The winter run will be sun powered, I dont want to add any lights out there.
Figure I can start them in the cabs under the floros, veg under a 400w CMH, then flower out there. I got like 5 months to flower out there. Next summers grow will all be trained scrog style, 4 plants going in may 30th that I will have vegged/topped to about a foot tall.

 

[whodatnation]

Those comments about max are cracking me up because earlier today I was trying to convince my dog to fold my cloths for me lol.

 

[whodatnation]

Cruz your veg cab is looking hsppy and those are some pretty big clones! What were they in before you transplanted em?

 

[cruzer101]

It looked like rockwool from a distance but its some kind of foam stuff. not sure what he used.
Ha, if you figure out how to get your dog to fold your clothes let us know how man, Max gets a hold of anything cloth and he runs like hell, you dont catch him, say goodbye to whatever hes got.

 

[cruzer101]

The roof is getting there, I spent most of the day fixing that solar vent. I went and got the second one I bought, looked at it to see where stuff was suppose to be and fixed the old one. it had a broken spring. Then I made spacers for the hinge to help keep it straight and mounted the panels. It should work. I'll have the rest of the panels up tomorrow.

Got a couple shot of the plants hanging,

Gettin there. I bet shes two pounds.

 

[HowzerMD]

Thumbs. If our dogs had thumbs we could teach them countless repetitive tasks. Think of it.

i tell my dog all the time she needs some thumbs grafted on!!

looks great cruzer! were the solar fans from the beginning or did you just get them recently? did you post which ones you got? i heard it could adjust your homes indoor temp =/- 3 degrees of ambient without HVAC. so it helps a lot for a house, but they aint cheap and quality is a must. let us know how they work!

i havent hit 2.0 GPW yet... lol idk if i ever will. its pretty ridic to claim but what i was trying to say was rumor is using the right strain, scrog, 1000w super hps, and the UC... u could hit 1.5-2.0 GPW which im down for. now the thing is no one discusses how long the veg was for or how big this scrogging was... buuut my theory is ill scrog to get an even canopy of equally dense nugs and use all my footprint available. i dont like to veg in my flower rooms since its counterproductive IMO, but i mite have to veg for a week or two in the new setup. anyways my point is that high of a GPW needs to bust outs sum serious tricks. My current harvest table 1 hit only .75 (which is my highest so far considering is the second grow lol)

but anyways man im stoked to see the winter grow glad ure using the GH for the right reasons. seems like u got it all timelined out like a true OCD grower. ill be lurking to see how things turn out.

-oh and good move not going thru with a partner... never works out.

 

[BooMeR242]

did u steal this from my last years photobucket grow album? haha

-congrats btw

 

[cruzer101]

Ha! No but thats where I got the idea.
Thats my last plant man. I'll have a total weight in a few days. I'm thinking close to 7lbs

GPW

Lets see, 12x8= 96 feet (well outside dimensions)
7lbs= 112 oz's
112/96 = 1.6 oz's per square foot if I'm right.

Now how many watts is the sun? LOL


Hey gumball, the solar vent opener i installed in the beginning broke, the frame twisted some and snapped one of the springs. I bought 2 of them but only used one. I repaired that one so I do still have a new one left.

 

[#1accordfamily]

nice growin i wish i could take the risk of having a green house

 

[cruzer101]

Thanks man. Why not build one and grow vegetables in it the first year?
Maybe people get used to seeing it and no problem, then the real growing starts.

Hey guys, I found out what those clones were rooted in and I'm gonna get some.
Its called Oasis Root cubes. The stuff has been around for years, its that stuff you poke fake flowers in to make them stand up but cut into cubes.
No PH problems, wont break down in hydro and dries out fast enough to hold the perfect amount of moisture for the clones. I even cut the corners off to fit it in the net pot that took some roots with it and they are doing great...

I would say the perfect starting medium.
I started watering for 6 min every 12 hours. next day checked them and wet to 8 hours, next day checked them wet to 4 hours. That seems fine for now but soon I will shorten it up some more when I got exposed roots.
