Veg inside, Bud outside in a greenhouse. S.D.

Okay, So last year (my first grow ever) I had an outdoor grow. Well it got all fucked up with mold and bud worms, still managed to get about 5 lbs for 6 plants(see attached photos). So this year i bout a 12 x 8 greenhouse to try and manage the problems. Then i got this idea to mom, clone and veg in my closet and to use the greenhouse for buding only. This way here i will/should be able to harvy once a month no problem. Right now i'm in week 3 of a very long process, but patients will pay off. I figure it will take a solid 5 months and it will be a nice production line..... Here are some pictures of last years girls, this years girls about 2 weeks ago and a couple of recient pictures. The strains i have are , Fem.Bubba Kush from the greenhouse seed co, Fem, L.A. Woman from DNA genetics, Fem,The Church from greenhouse seed co, and Fem Super Skunk (Skunk #1 and Afgani Hash.) from G 13 labs. And finally some seeds i got from some crip Pretty sure its a Indica,

Here's a couple of new shots with the name of each plant.1,Bubba Kush(greenhouse seed co.) 2.L.A. Woman (D.N.A. Genetics) 3.Super Skunk(G-13 Labs) 4.The Church (Greenhouse seed co.) 5.The seeds i had from last year, some kind of indica, and the last picture is a couple of Hogs Breath Clones from a buddie.Any and all opions,questions and remarks are appreciated.

It was really humid for a week straight plus i had a lack of air flow, But it only got to about 65 to 70 degress at night. Gotta love S.D.......With a greenhouse i will be able to control the climate. thanks for the reply.

? Your planning on harvesting every month outside, will you be utilizing a dark sheet over the greenhouse to induce flower? And have u considered that u will need to be home at the same times every day to pull the sheet off and on? Not knockin just legitimately curious, cool idea but I would do it the opposite way so that I could control the dark period with a timer allowing me to have a life outside of pulling a black sheet on and off a greenhouse all day.

Very good ?'s. Cant veg year round cuase there's only a few month's that there's actully 12+ hours of sunlight. So if i have to use/make a dark sheet for a while (unfortunatly i'm unemployed at the moment) it wont be a problem. But I've talked to a few heads out here that are doing the same thing and they tell me that all of their plants automaticlly flip cause of the light reduction.I'm running a 20-4. Personaly i dont know yet. I do know, that last year when i had to throw the plants on the side of the house cause they were getting big, they fliped cause they went from 12/13 hours of direct sun light to maybe about 7. So we will see. Plus the money issue: I would much rather run a T-5 year round the 2 600's, or whatever bulb you think is better than the sun? I cant think of one......lol.To Sensisensai: Google small heater for grrenhouse and a tom of sites will pop up. good luck.

ive been emailing a few green house companies and they rekon if the over night temps get to 30degress i dont need a heater, as long as they are protected from the frost. What do u think? although i didnt tell them what i was growing

Sorry man, this is my first season in a greenhouse. I would'nt tell anyone your buisness. Just keep looking and doing research, I'm sure you'll find something. I know they make clear insulated covers that you put on the greenhouse that will still let in all the sunlight in during the day and keep the warm air in over night....Good luck man. I'll let you know if i find out any more idea's.

hey i think im gonna go with one of those gas propane heaters, appartly they release carbon dioxide aswell so i guess thats a bonus.
so if your using a cover for the night cycle are u looking at getting 5 or 6 harvest a year? thats alot of smoke :)
