Rooftop Greenhouse Grow Amsterdam

hey man i dont know if you've been having pest problems. I was growing organic and wanted to stay away from neem oil but had spidermite issues. Early flowering i did 2x neem treatments 10 days apart. I bought some stufff called spinosad cause i had caterpillars. Ive done 3 treatments and this spinosad stuff works believe it or not. It can be good for spraying around your greenhouse too if your scared of micro populations/cleaning it up. I haven't had to worry about insects for 2 weeks since my last treatment of spinosad. Not saying the stuff works wonderful, but it got me by didnt cost a lot and was definately the most organic way of treating the problem without Pepper sprays or any of that B.S. i love your grow by the way

oh yeah and i also bought this stuff called sluggo plus which u put around your grow area after a rainstorm. the stuff keeps away slugs + earwigs i was having a huge earwig problem and this solved it. the sluggo plus is some sort of noodle with something in it that insects+their eggs die from, but is completely natural and wont contaminate your shit. Of course you dont want to put it all over your pot and water it in but earwigs come up at night and it took care of them for me. I did small rings around my grow pot after a big watering, after the sun was going down and there wasn't rain the next day. im sure a lot of stuff works i just wanted to share my experience with you it was my first time outside and was very scared of pests. Now i think they're scared of me i only find random aphids during the day but they don't seem all too thriving, the spinosad definately cleared their numbers.

Hi Nizza, thanks for your input and stopping by, I have heard of spinosad before. I tried a similar product I think from Canna and wasn't happy with it, but have always heard good things about spinosad. I'll check my garden centre when I am down there to see what they have. I kind of live in a park area and they are forever cutting the grass with the industrial lawn mowers, that added to the wind we get around here, it's a pit stop for every bug in the bloody neighbourhood! It's just one of those elements of gardening outside.

Droman, pissing myself at the summary execution. Can I hire your services please? lol.

no problem bro i forgot to mention the stuff i used was dead bug jacks and i used it with a hose end mixer and added some spreader sticker to make it stick on. The people at the garden store told me what to do. Believe it or not you go to a good local garden center they usually know whats a problem in your area and offer some good advice, i caught the earwigs early enough because the guy there told me about how they come out at night and you wouldnt normally see em. The deadbug says its especially for caterpillars but sort of helps with the mites and aphids

Looking good D! My DOG is kicking ass OD, and its a clone. The stalks are so damn heavy I didn't really need to support the plant, but did anyway. I think next year I will be placing a large order from Breeders Boutique. If they do this great from clone, i can only imagine how well they will do from seed. I too have been having pillar issues, but not as bad as all the other growers around here. I have been adding molasses for the whole flower period, so maybe that's why I'm not being bothered as much. Good luck with those big ladies, looks like you have hit the proverbial glass ceiling...or not so proverbial.

hey strictly, good news on the DOG my man, a vigorous girl she be. Most peeps seems to have got nice keepers from the pips as well. I have had really nice feedback from some customers saying it's their best strain. Really nice to get positive feedback.
I have the molasses prepped for the next feed, and when I get a minute i'll be down the garden centre (i do have a grow shop close but they tend to be a bit clueless). Garden centre is 4-5km on the peddle power bike.
I was out training them today so gonna have some funky looking colas by the end.

I think you might be state side Nizza? I'll look for the brand so it's an no brainer if I see it, but our garden centres don't hold massive ranges of stuff like in the, UK, or US, or Spain for example. Christ there is one sort of coco you can buy, and one sort of starter soil, haha. It's kind of like the supermarkets, they also have limited stuff, most people buy veg and meat from street markets. But the people I spoke to at the garden centre are acually friendly and helpfull so I am sure I'll get something.

I am thinking of putting some netting over the top of the canopy and then attaching that to 4 corners and pulling all the top down...we shall see, should be fun, and another houdini act, ffs, I seem to always grow in the smallest of spaces.

Easy guys.

Done a lot of training to keep these things away from the roof of the greenhouse. It's going to be tuff but we shall persevere as they always did in good old Leith.

Peace, DST

Lookin bob on them mate, an fookin huge... do look better for the training aswell just hope you get some decent sun pal.

Thanks Pukka. I've learned that these babies will grow even with limited sun. As long as they are kept reasonably dry from the rain and out of the wind. Really, weed doesn't need masses of sun to get some good out of it (obviously the more the merrier though!)

Some late night shots......





its pretty hard to focus in the dark, soz for the fuzziness.

Peace, DST

Lookin bang on dst bro watcha reckon it lk get ya 10-12 oz or more

I would be happy with that, but I'd also be happy with less. It's just really nice to have some outdoor weed to smoke. Totally different.

Heres wishin for some nice weather for ya mate

how different D? my outdoor only yielded a shady bongs worth

My guerrila grow of a few year back yielded me about the same, possibly 2 bongs worth, lol.

Different in that the highs always last longer, the taste seems more natural (especially if doing it organic). And it made some of the best bubble i have had to date.

i would almost consider doing 5 outdoor plants each year if i had the space....and by plants i mean trees. 1 for each greenhouse, lmao.

interesting, the high lasts longer!? must be the difference in natural lumens UV b and A etc affecting the thc make up. (my best guess...)

lookin good! subbed

Let's start this with some trunk porn.

My trusty security guard keeping a lego eye on things..

They are in 70 litre pots


2 plants.







this shot gives me a semi....

as does this....


Got about another 5 weeks of growth time I reckon. If I can get them to last that long without freezing to death and falling over into a soggy damp pile, yes, growing under the sea in a octopuses garden can be hard!!!

Peace to you all,

DST

good luck with that, i nearly pissed the bed to keep myself warm last night, it doesn't work in the long run though.

have you got a heater in there yet?.


i agree about the semi too, that is a beautiful shot. i would love to do a bit of outdoor when i get my own place with a garden

Eyup D, yes sir they are fatternin up quick mate!!......seems like only a weeks past...

whats the deal with outdoor mate, do you still get a nice pong as you stroll in or does the smell kinda waft away outside??

lol just read that back an i sound gay, lol soz bro saturday wake an bake has scrabbled my mind lol...............plants look sweet none the less!!

No heater in there yet, and yup, it reiks the fucking place out, lol.
