Greenhouse build on the cheap

@W.B.elpaso Clones are easy the one above it taking off with passion. It was a lower branch on my healthiest girl from last year. I just came up a couple of nodes a cut at a angle, instead of using a root grow I use alevera to seal the wound. Left about 2-3" of stem and stuck in through some Rock wool. I used one of Mrs Cats yogart plastics and cut a hole in the bottom that was big enough to put the Rock wool square in snug. the water bottle is a gatorade bottle with the top cut off and painted black (new roots don’t like light. Keep rockwool wet and in a couple of weeks you’ll have a clone w/roots ready for soil. I just use tap water.

Nice, i have some experiance with it. Ive been around plants of all kinds most of my life. I was fortunate to have a pops who loved to grow everything. My first real job was in a nursery. Been a love affair for 45 years. I think its gonna be a fantastic summer.

I got some good cbd seeds im gonna try black jack. High thc at18% and high cbd 18%. I know cbd works differnt with lost of thc but hope its good.

Im planning on starting some of my veggies in the green house and then move them to raised beds, my tomatoes will stay in the green house becuase I have cut worms that will eat a 5’ plant in two days. With the prices the way they are garden makes sense.

Sure dose. Im building a compost bin so i can have good compost for this soil. All the years i have never done a compost bin before. Lots of tumble weed out here i here it works as good carbon source. Alf alfa pellets work as an activator. Actualy alf alfa is some really good fertilizer all around. If you buy the stuff from the farm store its pretty cheap compared to alf alfa meal. Same stuff just in pellets.

Im not sure ive ever heard of a cut worm. Is it a midwest thing? Not grasshopper or caterpillar?

I looked it up. I get it, catapillar on steroids. Not cool. My buddy got some moth larve problems last year too. They laid there stuff in his buds but you cant see them until they have destroyed your bud. Terrible i say. He put up shade net this year.

@2GreenThumbs i am gonna run a variety. I got ilgm gold leaf, crystal, and super silver haze. I also got some barney farms critical kush, liberty haze and runtz muffins. I wanted to grow strains that have won the cannabis cup award. With two cbd strains. Black jack and cream and cheese. Im going to try 4 autos with them. Ilgm snack mix. No lights in there. Just that az sunshine. Should be a challenge to run that many strains under one roof. I think im gonna post it up in here this time. Still to early for me. 4/20 is G- day.

@Cat1 those worm beds should be fun. Might get some good results from it. Fresh fertilizer all the time.

Yeah 4/20 is the day lol! I got mine built, I installed two 7,500 LEDs overhead, so I’m gonna get started earlier by leaving my lights on two hrs after dark each day till 4/20.

I’m going with Runtz, White Widiow, Blue Dream , WW auto, and Northern Lights. I’ve been looking at the Crystal strain myself as it’s a cross between the best two mold and mildew resistant strains I’ve grown that being White Widiow and Northern Lights

We are allowed 12 per household. My wife doesnt smoke so its all me. So i dont need that many but i want to grow them anyway. I give away ALOT of smoke to friends. They dont have room to grow like i do. Should see the look i get when you hand someone a nice bag of weed for free they cant believe it. Its great. I love it.makes people happy in this crazy world were we get over charged for everything! I think its redicules.

@W.B.elpaso I’ll bet your house is a blast a Christmas! If ya wanna try some OG Kush, I have 4 seeds left if you want to trade. I was thinking about some gold leaf myself. How did it work for you? Cat

This will be my first run with it. I have high hopes. But i only got the five pack with the bling mix bag. Maybe in the future we can trade some. I got a good variety but on bought small amounts of those stains. Really want to sample as many different as possible. Hopefully, one day i find the one. Like finding your “soulmate”. Hahaha. If you beleive in that kind of stuff. Who knows maybe ill just be a weed slut my whole life and just smoke different strains forever.

Im not one to use the postal system to ship. Its still illegal to mail even seeds. I think. Across state lines. Even if noth states are legal. The us postal service is federal not state. I have no intentions of spending my golden years behind bars just because some jack wagon gets a hair in the wrong spot and decides to mess with you. With my luck, id be that guy. No worries.:+1:

@W.B.elpaso I hear ya, we all keep the quest for the perfect taste, smell and buzz. If we didn’t someone would just make a pill. :sunglasses: :v:

I figure if i go with cup winners or even amsterdam coffee shop favorites i cant go wrong. Liberty haze is both and it something you just dont see over here in the states. Im getting excited. So many cool strains at our disposal these days is just fantastic. Check out north atlantic seeds. Cheeap and reliable.

I checked out NAS @W.B.elpaso I see they have several including Barney’s farm and Humboldt that I like, that Humboldt Trainwreck strain is one. Any issues with this seed co? How fast is the shipping and how stealthy?

I’m more interested in cannibis strains that originated between 30 and 37 degrees latitude and are grown outdoors. 707 Headband is another one I want.

Nas has been great. Shipping is crazy fast. 5 to 7 days. Ive ordered twice no problems and i always seem to get free seeds with my order. They gave me GDP, and purple punch and sour diesel and a couple autos. I havent spent 100 dollars in there! Greenhouse seed co. is another one in there that has bad ass genetics. They have an 8 dollar seed saftey that is optional. I didnt get that and still had no issiues.
