MJ Greenhouse '09

[JDub78]

Ok, so I have an old tool shed, that has been converted to a greenhouse. Its 10x10' and very very bright inside, even has direct sun. One skylight, two windows, and a huge door that locks. I plan on keeping the windows open for a while, to cool it. It is about 65 outside, and 80 in the greenhouse, so I truly think this will work. I also have power to the house, for any artificial light, and any fans I might need. Pain in the *** to run it, but its done.

Sidenote: tomorrow the house is getting insulation and will get either white fabric walls, or mylar walls, not sure yet.

4/12/09 - 6PM. Took one of my verified female Sativa rooted clones, and planted her in a 10" pot with Miracle Gro Organic Soil. Trying this new soil out, I usually go with Fox Farm Ocean Forest, but hell, might as well try something new. Clone is about 4" long, with 4" healthy roots. After planting, she went straight into the west facing window of the greenhouse, where she received full direct evening sun. I opened the windows today, and will leave them open for a few days, to see how well I can regulate the temperature within the greenhouse. I do not want it to get hotter than 90 in there during the spring and 100 during the summer. The thermometer works well so far, looks like I have a +20 degree change within the house.

4/13/09 - 5PM. Moved my indoor plant (started 11/08 - CFL) into the greenhouse this afternoon. She is too far gone now, to revert back to veg, and besides we will be getting 12 hours of light well after she is done, so its all good. She loves being outside, from inside (well, as close as outside as you can get with an open greenhouse). Why did I move her? A - to save some money from the CFL's, and B - to free up space for my next indoor grow. And C - why not!

If anyone knows by the looks of it, what kind of Sativa this is (ie - white widow, hindu kush, etc) that would be great! I am dying to know what this is.

Howdy! I think we need to get DNA testing before any particular strain can be verified. Do you have windows on the south side? West are okay, but south is better. Have you seen those tell-tale thermometers? I like them for an area like this, because you know how hot and cold it has gotten since you last set the pointers on it. Takes the guessing out of it. Best of luck!

Hey 420benny! Thanks for the compliments. Windows on the east, west, one huge skylight, and the whole south side of the shed/greenhouse opens up. So plenty of light. I have never seen a tell-tale thermometer, I will check it out right now. Thanks for the information. As you can tell I am using an old school Coca Cola thermometer in there now, which works but I am looking for something more professional. I have a digital one for all my indoor grows, which rocks. Bummer about DNA testing. Ahh well, she is a damn good smoke, so thats all that matters lol!!

Hey Jdub... Yeah like 420 said I don't think anyone cld just eyeball what strain it is... If it is damn good smoke then all is well and if you need to put a name on her then name yourself...cld be fun...I hve an unknown female in soil from a bonus seed when I bought some Dutch Dope seeds online...she is almost 9 weeks into flowering and I will clone her and after smoking the herb will come up with a name for it... Anyway good luck with the grow...Keep it green
