Did you cut the pvc yourself or did they come sized like that? Looks good. I want to build one in the next few weeks but I dont have a power saw and am wondering if there are alternatives to getting one.

i just bought a bunch of 10 ft pvc pipes and cut them to length with a hack saw (no need for a power saw pvc cuts easy) use some pvc elbows and "t" connectors. if you plan it out it should only take you a few hours. real simple like legos.

Ghetto but looking good. I like your air pruning table.
thanks but i should have put a screen on the bottom of each pot as well because it makes them difficult to move when the soil is dry. when they get transplanted up to 5 gallon buckets i will fit each bucket with a screen and stand to help with air pruning but allow for easy movement.

Revamp

Revamp

changed a few things and added another air pruning table for the seedlings (they are hurting cause they were knocked over in the wind uprooting them twice and one day).
as a side note i built the greenhouse to be modular. my goal for the summer was to grow as many strains and as much weed as possible so as the plants grow and if i decided (i probably will) to add more strains via clones i can expand the greenhouse simply by adding longer lengths of pipe and more 6 mil
plastic film. also there is no top on her at the moment but i can and have easily added one for discretion. i like it without the top because it allows more light in and allows for good air flow. at a finish height of 8 feet the greenhouse will not be able to be seen in by anyone on the ground. there are no vantage points from which a person can see into the greenhouse with the way my backyard is organized. not worried about the popo because im 215 just trying to keep it low profile.

Cool, I like that it's modular so that you can expand. I have to big cement blocks around the base of mine because of the wind where I'm at.

Update

Update

The "girls" are doing well and starting to grow quick. I moved the greenhouse to a more sunny location and modified one side to have a roll down white tarp so after noon when the sun is not shinning through that side of the greenhouse it reflects the suns light on the plants. I also made pot covers as i wanted to lower root temps. i plan to wrap the pots with white tape as well to get the root temp down. the root pruning tables are working perfect. the bottoms of each are pot are starting to look like fields of bleached pine trees (lots of fine root hairs :joint: ) ill take a pic in a day or so.

The OGK is doing extremely well and will be the first to be repotted in the 5 gallon air pruning buckets i am making. she will also be FIM and cloned for a lil indoor goodness.
