Ruby fruit thanks for stoping by as far as the shade cloth It depends on what you are useing it for I also grow Japanese maples and they do fine here untils we get towards the 100s they like more afternoon shade so I like something around 70% as for the pot I dont use it at all they love the sun it is the roots that you need to keep cool if you are growing in pots.Smart pots are fine it is the plastic that is a problem I like to cover the pots with shade cloth to keep the roots chillin.To cover a greenhouse I will have to play with that but that is not going to happen for a bit.

Mr. Wooten those are 100 gallon smart pots low profile I am going to do 300 gallon tan low profiles next year l like em.20130826_151723.jpg20130826_173823.jpg 20130826_173904.jpg I went to see when I got hammered by storms last year and it was the end of august .This plant was thrashed but still got a good pull from her.The plants look better today but we still had rain most of the morning, heat will be back friday.The only thing growing on the property now is weeds.20140712_093735.jpg 20140712_093757.jpg THE pumpkin came up in the compost pile and is thriving with zero water.20140723_143831.jpg20140723_143737.jpg

That's sick they have 300s that are low pro! I can't wait to see what you pull out of those.thats crazy about the pumpkin it looks nice! ha mine seems to be a water hog and wilts whenever it hits like 90 or higher haha.

Did those plants pull through that got all knocked around like that?

Dt yes they did thanks for asking they just want some sun not lights lol and I am pretty sure they make the 300 low profiles .Me and my crew are going to blow up the property next year lots of plants and an early start will be key.I am applying for my disspensery license in september and getting a team of growers to work for me,and I have a manager and my wife that will be tending the shop.I cant wait I have some financial backers to help get things going and my wife and I are going to start looking for buildings this weekend.So I will be growing monsters again next season,this is my chill year in the back yard.

Looks great man, awesome backyard (no homo) and garden.
I think I may grab some of those low pro's for a couple different strawberry patches next year.
