Growitup Greenhouse 2011

this page is talking about how to treat Magnesium Def. I have a friend who is a really great gardener on this site called, HotPhyre, he uses epsom salt as an additive in all his feedings. His plants are really healthy.

I know HotPhyre, About 6 months ago he started a journal Calling all greenhouse growers I posted a few comments and we have traded ideas back and forth ever since. That perpetual grow hes got going has produced some of the best looking plants I have seen here but I have to admit, I dont always read everything, just skim and look at the pics. (Ha, busted) Thanks again for the help.

OK, got some stuff done today.
I thought I would try using molasses this round. I've heard some good things so its going to be added.
Couldnt find it locally so I bought it online from the manufacture, it was like $2.00 for the molasses and $10.00 for shipping.





I got the bottom screened, well it has some real strong stuff there now but the holes are pretty big so I re-screened it with that no see em stuff.





I took the piece of styrofoam I made to block it during the winter and used that for size and used some welded wire fencing as a frame. I was going to sew it with thread or fishing string then I got some metal tape and that worked great.








Added a little trim,








Did the same for the holes up top. Next is the roof vent. I'll make it the same way but I think I will sew that one too for added strength.

Today is their first day in the sun.







Time to burn one and relax.

Ok, got the roof vent done.








Ready to roll now.





Time to mix up some pesticide and hit the yard, start the girls on neem or sm90
Im debating hitting them with floramite now. I understand its a 30 day cycle and I really wanna hit them right before bloom so I gotta figure that out.

I still have those preying Mantis eggs in my refer too. not sure how I am going to work them in. I mean, if there is enough food in there for them to survive then I got to many bugs to begin with.

I don't really know which is nicer. The plants or the greenhouse?

Haha, that is a good point, don't think I can choose either. You've bug proofed that place to the max man, shouldn't have any problems touch wood.

I can vouch for the molasses, my first grow was pretty shocking, I was in coco with a ph of about 7.9 throughout, they died for a week at about week 5 flower and then in the end I gave them a lot of molasses in the last couple of weeks and they just blew up. Im gonna be running one with molasses this year and one with boost to see the difference I think.

Everything looks great cruzer!!

Na man, the mantis eggs come in a sack. You are suppose to hang it from a branch in the shade and after two weeks of about 70° they hatch. From what I understand when they are small they can and will feed on spider mites but it doesn't take long (maybe like 30 to 45 days) for them to be looking for something bigger.

OK, Out of the five Mazar seeds I started in those oasis cubes only one popped and it's upside down.











So I put that one in a rooter cube and it looks like its gonna make it. I got the other four seeds back in paper towels but it doesn't look good.


The Train and Bubba are commin along, still in the cab.








Out in the green house I made water rings this for this grow, I hit three spots with each ring. I think I'm gonna sent them on the soil there and cover them with sand.











They have taken off, a couple days ago when I put them out here they were about a foot and today 18"



I made this pvc/plastic cover last year to extend the roof. I was going to take it apart but decided to save it, anyway, for people who may be looking at building a plastic green house and need a way to attach the plastic what I found works well is use the next size up pvc, like my frame is 1/2 in so I used 3/4 in to make clips.











Worked so good they still wouldn't come off without ripping the plastic so that's why i decided to save it.

Cool shit, those TD's have taken off!! I remember those clips once you mentioned them, very innovative

Actually I had to replace about 25 feet of sprinklers and line that max tore up and was going to use the PVC from the frame, the clips didn't come off easy so I smoked the other half of my morning doobie thinking about it and thought maybe it will come in handy so I folded it up and put it back on the side of the house. After another run to Home Depot I installed a new timer, about 25 feet of 1/2 in PVC with 8 risers and sprinklers and hooked it up to the rest of the system. I got the whole yard on 3 stations, 15 min ea.

Woah, the tangerines are flying up aren't they. I think I remember you saying you were gonna top at 3/4ft this year, you still keeping to that?

Well ya know, I have been told Tangerine Dream is a short plant so I figured it would max out at like 6 feet and get bushy by itself like bubba did last year, but from what I've seen this last week It doesn't look like thats whats gonna happen. My plan was to screen the train wreck and let these go but it looks like I'll need to screen these too.

IDK they seem to be stretching like right before flower. All of the previous nodes were closer, I hope thats not the case and its a growth spurt... I think they get enough light.

I think I got it.
If you look closely you see the two in the front are stretching more then the two in the back.





This shot was taken at 9;30 this morning. Its the shade from the house. I need to move them or run the light in the morning too.

Ya bro I do notice a little stretch once u point it out....but fuck they look awesome to me..bravo sir!!!

Can't wait to see these beasts flowered out!!

very nice this grow its going to be amazing i am subscribed in ill be watching

Right on cannabis420. It should be good.

That Master Kush has been hanging a week now, keeping the plant whole really slows down the drying process. The others that were in there are done. Shes still got another week to go but today I cut the branches off the stalk and separated the main cola. Check it out.








Shes 18" long, doesn't feel that heavy. I'll have weight once she drys out a bit more.
