Hic,
You should deff build your greenhouse from scratch man.. The kits I've looked at are cheaply built and over priced.. I've been doing some thinking about the most effective way to secure a GH, your post about it got me thinking.. If you were to build the frame out of chain link fence, Then cover the fence with plastic sheathing. It would eliminate the need for the outer fence to keep it secure..

plus with the plastic sheeting no one will be able to see inside. a big plus against law enforcement . is this a structure that will be up all year?

yea i dont know how to discribe a smell or taste it is what it is. my og kush is coming into smell and i cant figure out what it smell like. never tasted it before
dam nice pics rzza! I have no idea about the fems seed? I gave you all I had except the 5 pack of bubba kush. I never grew any of them so I will be no help with identifing. I do have a list somewhere of the fem beans I sent you I think. or maybe I don't? I think I just put all them names on there so you could look up the desciptions at attitude.
I hear ya boys about building one and can. I just thought I might be able to get by with one for this summer. How would you boys build it pvc, wood, metal, etc?
Someone asked if I would keep it up all year.. well it depends on what I buy or build. I do know that I must break ground next week if possible.

Let me know if you want some help with the GH

Mary - thanks for the pointer.
Thanks GD I was just looking online at all of these ...http://www.growerssupply.com/farm/supplies/home.
One thing I was thinking about to. I hope everyone read what rzza posted about those guys getting busted. This article again supports the idea that small time outdoor growers are becoming less sought after then ever before! Small plots are fly byes moreso then 5 years ago thanks to this new law. There will be alot of greedy, dumb people growing dope this year with cards in hand - taking the eyes of the pigs to the prize, and away from the little guy! Grow in patches of 3, keep common sense a real reality and you will bring em home this year.
This year is a great year to grow in the woods or field, probly on of the best years ever in terms of leo looking somewhere else... Like over my greenhouse.lol. See another example - people just like me that are throwing up greenhouses is where they will be going too first and of course the big state land grows.
Hell between the medi community and the giant state land grows this year there will not be alot of time and or money to fly over and find your patch. It is almost time GD I agree.

Im gonna put a couple of my smaller super critical plants outside this weekend... Im a little bit farther south then most of you guys, the lights about perfect right now, Just a hair under 14 hrs of twilight.. I may still catch a light frost, but I think the plants are big enough to handle it.. The temps during the days are hitting the mid 60's pretty regularly, and I need the space under my lights for clones.. So im gonna go for it...
Hic,
I'd probably use metals to construct the GH.. Wood can be cut or broke fairly easy, If somebody try's to cut through steel or alum they're gonna wake up the whole neighborhood... I'd basicly build a big dog kennel out of chain link, then cover it with some sort of visquine.. I'm not sure how big you are wanting to go, but I've figured material cost on a 12'Lx12'Wx14' tall at just over $350 not including the sheathing.. Im not sure how far away from me you are, but Im always down for a road trip. If you need a hand I'd be happy to take a road trip and lend you one..

It's $200 for chain link mesh 12'2" tall and 50' long you would need 60' for a 12x12x12
You'd have about $200 in post, about $50 in misc fastners and post caps.. You could build the frame for about $500
http://www.growerssupply.com/farm/s...ing_materials-gs1_polycarbonate;pg104618.html
Looks like you'd have to spend about $1500 for enough 4x8 sheets of polycarbonate to cover a 12x12x12.. For about $2k and a days work you could build a bad ass GH with roof vents and lighting...
http://www.growerssupply.com/farm/s...ing_materials-gs1_polycarbonate;pg102948.html
Looks like for the corrugated plastic it would run you about $1300 for 125' wich is what you would need to cover a 12x12x12.. So it would run you about $1800 if you went that route.. IMO i'd spend the extra $200 and use the sheets, they have a greater R value and filter out more uv rays..

Marry where are you , not a address but what bigger town are you near , Im down by Benton Harbor
dam Mary if I ever need an accountant or some shit? I hope you work in an office cause you don't need to be doing that hard labor shit with a mind like that. I like your ideas and opinions but I am looking to spend the money. Gotta be at least 14 by 26, atleast.
Secuirity is no issue.. remember I am retired. I would like metal, but then again if I use wood I will be halfway to the facility. After harvest I could remove the panels, add on and finish to suite my indoor playground?

I would be very careful with greenhouses tho they law doesnt say no..it also doesnt say yes and the lawyer that speaks at my locl hydro shop has warned that the judges are basicly making up there own veiw on what the law states so far there has been a case in mid mi where a man had plants outside in a fully enclosed dog kenel locked and wrapped in shrink wrap, the neighbors called on him, and tho he had more plants than he should have, he was charged and the judge after 6 months of debate claimed that the homemade "greenhouse" was not a "enclosed locked facility" our grey laws are giving the judge the power to twist the law or make their own ruling on what certain things are..like "useable marijuana"
anyways the lawyer said that due to the greenhouse being easly broken into and see-thru will most likly be deemed unfit...now if you built it and had a 6ft chainlink fence around it thats locked and then razor wire across the top, so you have to go thru 2 doors to get inside, I dont see a problem, but at the same right they may get at you being they can see inside too..
I'd love to have a greenhouse, but i also love growing and wont push the envelope..

I live in mid michigan and last year I didnt plant until may 15-20th and still caught frost..tho it looks like we will have some good weather for the most part frost is still an issue and I dont plan to plant until the night temps are over 55 constantly..
plus my plants that went out last year were about 1-1.5ft tall and were just huge by august...like 10-15ft I want somthing about 6ftx5ft just a decent bush..I'l prolly throw my girls out around may 20th I have my mothers getting ready tho they are new moms and still quite small, and at the same time I need 24 new clones inside for my next round I'm in my 5th week..

mary- didnt see you were growing ghsc gear until i looked back a few pages.. my great white from them has been my go to strain for over a year now, It's the strongest plant I have and produces every single time I went thru 18 beans of the 20 I bought for last years od grow, and chose the bushiest/biggest plant and its paid off, theres been a lot of ppl bashing ghs but their gear is legit and around here theres even a fake great white rolling around, lol , funny shit but everyone loves the GWS round here, I just like things that have more diesel taste.. sour d, og, chemdawg, all those are what im after..
I found a place to get some bubba og kush too about a week from now, all from the original cuts.. anyone know where to get some grape stomper genetics? aka sour grapes, gage green seeds at attitude has some but its crossed with "snowman" sour diesel..
