@JJ520 Thinking of taking the second baby and doing DWC, probably going to start 4 more next week.

This is my little DWC greenhouse, nice breeze and it stays cool in the Memphis heat, holds 2 large plants.
I’ve trimmed the base and made it look like I’m respectable. It opens up into a 8’x20’ Catio.

Got cloth on the upper now I’m working on the roof, rafters and collar ties. Got it to where neighbors can’t see in. Over the winter the outside cats decided I was building it for them, I don’t mind. I filled the floor of the small GH with river rock for drainage, I like it a lot.

Lady bugs came in yesterday I made a home out of a tote for them , anyone have any helpful hints on how to keep them alive and well? I would like to start a worm farm next.

Unleashed the Beasts, released couple of dozen on each of the girls at the base of the plant, you could almost hear the lady bugs screaming “WE FREE” running around the rim of the bucket, all over the soil then they started to climb all of a sudden nothing, couldn’t see a single bug. They are hard little buggers to see when they stand still then realized they were unter the leaves chowing down on spider mites. One of the complaints was they thought the amount of LB was misrepresented, people saying "I was suppose to get 1500 LBs (like they counted each one) if you read the fine print they are sold by weight. Some are dormant and some are dead, hey thats life. After the last bug flies I’m happy. Some have found their wings and thats fine I noticed they were flying from plant to plant. To check and see if they are working is not to see them but not see them or aphids, spider mites, ect…

Nice I’m glad to hear they climbed right up in and start a challenge I would imagine is as long as there’s some food in the conditions are in parameter if it’s fairly enclosed they should hang around I would think

I figure the ones I put out will stick around but I have a bunch I made a little bug house for but I don’t know what to feed them to keep them alive.

Read raisins work as food so I bought some little snack boxes and gave it a try, works like a champ. They are still going strong on the girls and finding food in other places, never thought about that but now I encourage the little buggers. Hunt to the source. Catch a buzz and watch them hunt, make little highways with branches from girl to girl, simple things for a simple mind.

Day 4 and the little boogers are still going strong. Didn’t see much evidence of aphids, just some spider mites. But ManCave got plenty to keep them busy.

Getting ready to wash my Zkittlez. Two have big heavy buds about the size of a tennis balls, one looks like a different strain, like its a indica strain. Real dark green thin leaves but buds look the same. Then I have a plant that I have been topping into a bush, same age but no buds yet .

Cats are killing me, one ate a starter and another knocked over a 5gl bucket. BIL passed so I have been taking care of estate details for the last 3 weeks, tried to put the girls on auto pilot so far so good. RIP Barry. 
Sorry to hear about your BIL Barry and your girls. I am south of you in Bama. While i was reading through the thread I saw you had it growing out of the top of your gh and I had a good laugh. You must have great neighbors. Nice work on the gh and the catio. girls lookin great.
@anon75129312 The girls that grew out of the GH were last year, got a little over 3lbs not bad, got Runtz growing this year and topped them at the fifth node. Still getting tall, must be Jack and the magic GH effect. Got a Brother from another mother in Brantley he was just here to help me flip Barry’s house. He bought some Jack Herer and is having a hard time getting them to germ. I told him to send me a seed and I’ll put it in the GH. I have 7 plants this year all at different ages. and one in hydro. Gonna make some killer bubble hash.
Been awhile since I made a post so heres the update. Heat and humidity have taken its toll this year. I lost almost all my plants at different stages, one of the Runts outdoor is still kicking and my hydro girl is doing buds. indoor this year I kept close eye on temp and air flow. she’s getting close to harvest. outdoor girl got a way to go. My greenhouse was not the way to go this year no matter what I did the house was to hot and two girls dried up and never gave bud, one turned herm. I think it was the heat. We just went from 100 degree to 60s at night 
sometimes you can’t win for lose. Between the two I may get 1/4~1/2lb. It will keep me going. Family issues have kept me from giving them the proper care they deserve so I have to say I’m to blame. BIL passed, RIP Barry. Cat.

Sounds like you’ve had a rough go of it this year. Glad to see you’re still here. I hope things get better.
