Update 7/25/07 outdoor grow

[Geter-D1]

in a green house situation slits are not enough , they dont let enough heat out , or the evaporating moisture , they will let just enough air in thats about it , open the main flap 2-3 inches , this will help with circulation , with the slits , hence taking out some moisture and smothering heat in the middle of the day, close the flap at night to retain remaining heat and moisture , circulation is the major key , you will have a better controlled , green house , have no idea about the gel ????? ..... think i would just splint it or badage it with out it ...

well heres some updated pics gonna have to post another reply to get the rest on, but for the most part everythings going ok. except for cracking the stem on that one but its still growing without a splint so i'll leave it be. started adding in nutes. put some pics of GH on there to. looks like there just beginning to flower. Tell me what u think. enjoy

 

[ktownlegend]

heres the rest of the pics u can see the zip tie job on the couple but if u look at the far left one, its practically doing it on its own. saves me some work.

 

[Geter-D1]

crap you like to done that one in hu , nice save , that hanging crutch looks like it is doing a fine job , wont be long you wont need it , its amazing how much these babies can take and come back so strong , keep all that TLC going there thanking you for it , k town im going to draw you a blue print , with the fittings you need to make you a real nice simple GH , probably cost 20 $ :hubba: your grow is looking good...........

 

[ktownlegend]

thanks for the whole blueprint, i could go through and do it myself, but thats practially what i do for a living all day is design and make stuff. so when it comes time to me doing it, its usually bout 3 in the morning and i just use what i got sitting around. so someone else doing it for once might be extremely helpful. started the nutes for flowering like i said, but it just seems like they take forever to need water. thought about switching to bigger pots, and the two in the ground are definitly too close the ones fighting for space and the other is thriving. the one thats broke is on the far right by the ones in the ground , the zip tie job is to let more light in to lower spots. lol all in all, im kinda glad this years finally on the final strech. gonna do couple of things different this winter as well as next summer. HOPEFULLY with a new GH if someone remembers the print.

Ktown , since your holding me to it :shocked: ok , pretty simple set up , heres all the fittings and at least half the pipe needed depending on how big you want to build it , build your gables to the ,tees ,facing down first , it is much easier to get an idea of how big, and wide you want to make it....do not glue it untill its all done , so you can tweek it square ,fitting usually pretty tigh ,you may not want to glue ??? zip tie your visqeen or glue to frame, take them sticks from old GH , zip tie them to bottom of visqueen on the sides or front so you can roll them up or down for flaps , you can take some old shoe strings or what ever to tie the flaps closed..... where your tees meet your 45s & 90s use a short a nipple between them you dont want long pieces there your done :banana::hubba:

 

[ktownlegend]

i don't think glues the way i'd go. lol thanks for the print though, im gonna have to change a few things, but looks alright for the most part. with that support setup it would be a small gh, what size where u thinking for thaprint? the one i'd like to put together should be a 3ft tall, 3ft, long, and 2ft wide, ruffly u can play with that a lil bit to figure enough space for 3 short bushy females. lol and what diameter tubing do u perfere?

thanx for the comments, print and opinion.

any one else is more than welcome to put in there two cents

the size of your gable will determine your width .. you can make it as long as you want , by adding another section ,the heighth is how ever tall you want it after you assemble a gable , i really didnt think you wanted over 3 foot tall thats why i put 1/2" to 3/4" on the print any taller you need to go 1" or bigger and sch 40 pvc.. bottom of second print has all the fittings and pipe size

well, had one hell of a scare this morning, first time every for me in the 3 going on 4 years of experience. i didn't check my GH babies for 2 days, checked them this morning. all the sun leaves( i think thats the ones) were yellow as can be and practically falling off. nothing else wrong with the plant at all, green as can be all perked up, start the branch trainning too. working great. my hydro guy told me its sometimes natural for the plant to drop those leaves when introduced into flowering for better production of buds. my cracked stem one is all healed up for the most part and pre-bent for me. lol helps me out on trying to control its height. the bushy ones are still bushy, hard to notice new growth its so tight, i don't want to prune them for at least another week or two. the lil kicker in the orange pot is doing awesome, im betting i get a nice fat nug of that lil girl.(just for fun) got some infamous PP seeds from a relative out from that way. so the winter time is gonna be the whoop. all in all its cooled down a touch, making watering and feeding easier due to decrease in humidity. ph is like on the nose. lighting was screwed up on two, they were getting about 400 watts of MH all night for the entire season, probly y the damn things not showing sex. so i fixed that problem hope it doesn't shock'em into hermies.

new pics this weekend.

Had some old boards in shed, so I attached it to the fence and in front. Nails.
fenced it in to keep dogs outta it, and threw the clear plastic over the top and so far it seems to have grown another 3 inches. Tops and plat are all nice and green and its protected from rain and elements.
I made this one bigger so I can get right under it and allow the plant to grow. Will be starting my clones this next week under it as well.
Yours are looking real good, but I found I had to increase the size of my psuedo greenhouse 3 times now to accomondate the growth of my girl.
Good Luck.. looking good

next year GH is gonna be alot different then this years fer sure, but i also looked into my indoor setup today as well for clones, start one tonight over at a friends house though. i did some checking around for light setups. i found that i can get 4 fixtures and 4 cfl 42 watt blubs for under $80 where as the fixture and light from the hydro shop was like $250 - $ 500. but neways, new pics later this morning probly around noon. the development of them is drastic compared to last pictures for sure. two of them aren't gonna amount to much, and the lil girl in the orange pot is gonna be one nice fat nug. like i stated before though im using a bloom fert, thats a 0-50-24, does any one think i should also use a bloom booster or will the already present numbers be sufficent?

well heres the pics, early signs of sex if u can spot the males let me know. im getting worried about the odor thats going to be coming out of them soon. due to where i live, i was wondering if i put them in a GH will up on per say the roof of my house. with the plastic block the helis and planes from seeing what it is? and will that help with the smell?

i have two in the ground that i don't want to have to dig up. but if need be i will. i pretty sure i got 2-3 males KINDA CRAPPY but o well thats what i get for starting with seeds.

ENJOY

NO ONE has any thoughts on the heli/plane thing?

NO ONE has any thoughts on the heli/plane thing?

I think it is a bad idea to put any forn of marijuana up on your roof, even with plastic over it, that might even draw more attention to it. You have nieghbors, passerbys, cops in air and on land. That would just be out of place ya know?

For the smell why don't you place a fan on them. even outdoors you could blow the smell away or even better enclose the green house they would be in down on the ground.?

Just trying to come up with ideas.

 

[ktownlegend]

Would have to agree with HGB on that one bro u dont want to get busted it isn't worth it then u end up being locked up with no weed or plants to go back to and then u can also forget ever being able to grow again because the cops will always be keeping a close eye on u there must be a better way to go about this

Do you have the ability to bring them inside?
