5150's Monster Backyard 2011 Hello Old Friends!!

I got my cover on today. It's just laying on now. I still have to skin it tight. But this will give you an idea how it wll look.
This is 20x65 sheet of plastic once I cut it off th 20x100 roll. The boards on the one roof will be taken down. They make it worse for more spots to puddle. On the front side of the cover it will go down low to the ground. The other side will be open for no rain comes thru the trees. This way it not locked in air with good airflow but 100% dry.
Some pics. Smells good under the cover.

awesome plants dude, what the cages for ?

I do not bring the cover all the way the ground. I get massiv wind for I live on a end or a gorge. In the past the branches got so heavy they just snap. It's just my way of keeping them safe. When you get 50 wind gust they can get blowing under my cover. My side and ends only go down about half way. This lets me have good airflow.

cool, i wish i had that branch snapping problem

Or if they get wet. I came outside one time and seen my buds laying in the dirt. The rain just pounding the buds into the ground. I always cage and net them up now.

Looks killer 5150. It's like a whole different world under there I bet. I know that my whole garden feels different with just the privacy walls I put up.

Yah whol new world for sure. I love the fact they will stay dry though. I got my cover almost done today. Little more ghetto than I wanted. But it's not easy putting a 60ft cover on alone. But I did it.

Okay this is what I came up with. Was raining so I will go back when it is dry and re tape it all. I still need to make a lean too to cover the plant sticking out the side.

does the fan increase quality or just reduce risk of mold ? i have a fan on my plan just wondering.

I have only really has a powdery mildew problems in the past for the most part. The fan just give me airflow I am looking for. I have other fans that I will be adding as well. I have 3 of these type fans.

They move lots of air fast. I only run them in the day. To loud at night to runs 5 fans. I run these squirrel cage fans down low on the plants. In the past I only had the mildew problem with the leafs above the pavement on my patio. I learn to trim those well away from the patio cement. Last year I had some mold and rot. But it was a wet wet crapy grow season here. The worst you could think of for the most part.

Here is the branch I broke clean off today. Dropped a roll of duct tape and snapped it clean off. This is the amarican dream lower side branch with a fast hair cut.

Looks killer! Cant believe i waited this long for a green house. Makes me wonder if i should do my walls with some green house covering as well or just use the mesh walls like double jj. Whats your take?

I will try the mesh next year for sure. Looks cleaner and I can inclosed the whole thing.

Been out half the night trying to get rid of false alarms on my driveway alerts. The rain runoff off the plastic roof is making them go off. Had to move about 6 of them.

Pulled out the large cage fan. This baby blows so good air. Has 4 speeds. This is a home furnace blower. Also some bud shots with a 2 liter bottle.

Update. The other American Dream will come down this week. It's got me off gaurd at 49days. Going to flush it real good this week. I gave the other AD from the empty pot to my bro for watching the front of my house untill harvest is over. The AD finished to half amber in 49 days flower time.
Here is how I covered that plant sticking out the side of the carport.

This AK-47 needed some water. (droopy)

New update. Been about a week so getting much fatter now. Some mold spots here and there but nothing bad if I catch it early. The american dream had mold attack all the main colas on both plants. I gave one to my bro and harvested the tops off the other. Both SD's are showing spotty dry mold as well. The only strains I have right now that has not showed any mold is the C-99and the Dogshit. The C-99 is almost done as well. (closeup below)
3rd year in a row that have had little yellow leafs from the plants in the ground.







This is the dogshit. she is slower than the rest by 2 weeks.

Looks awesome 5150! I can't wait for next year. I am going to join the club of greenhouses. I love how nice and round and bushy some of them are. You can just move about your sea of kolas in there, smiling to yourself.

My whole garden has brown mold on most plants. about 30% of my colas are showing more mold everyday. The C-99 and Dogshit are fine though. I am harvesting the tops on all the plants. No mold down low. I will let the rest of the plants finish and see what happens. I played this mold game before and not again.

The C-99 are done though. No mold as of yet. The Dogshit is a PNW strain so I was hoping no mold. So far she has held up very well. So has the C-99. The SD got mold easy an early. The AK has showed some on the colas. But still have fat killing looking clean colas. She will be harvested next.

I am going to be busy so will not be on much. I will check in sure but not everyday.

I will be harvesting the tops to get the good big buds in jars before it's all gone to mold. Then I will let the bottom half of the plants finish. No mold down low.

I will take lots of pics and catch back up in a few days. Trimming fool until then.

best of luck with harvesting
mold's a bitch

Good luck with the mold 5150. One of my rain covers ripped clean up out of the ground last night. My CC is going to have to come down today. Hopefully I can save her.

BTW...just can't get over how beautiful your whole garden is.
