there's a little chill in the air today. it rained last night, over an inch. i have 150-160 gallons of rainwater collected now... it's warm and humid in the greenhouse. the tomato's are loving it

yesterdays photos:
a different view (need to re-route the solar cord) -

mounting complete. i was little worried about leaks as it rained 12 hours after i mounted and sealed the bolts. no leaks inside the shed

todays photos:

here is my water pressure in the GH, with 150-160 gallons of rainwater.

NICE SH!T... I really like the step by step process for the stoned and confused.
Since you can't grow in of the sexy girl Mary Jane you should try out some techniques on the tomato plant. Since they are structurally similar, I f^ck with grampa's tomatoes all the time. When you think youll get some buds in the house?

thanks growbox,

i hope to get something up an running within the year... in the meantime, it's tomato's, peppers, etc...

cloning my cantaloupe plant at the moment.

stay tuned

how much was the panel?
is it new or used?
are you tracking hi's and low's with fan running?

great set up.

 

[GP73LPC]

thanks

no tracking.

the panel was $189 plus shipping. does not have the standard 25 year warranty either, i think this one is 10 or 15 yrs.

the fan runs direct off the panel. per the guy on ebay selling them, thats the way to run them. they will draw whatever power you feed to it. would drain batteries in no time. you can actually hear it wind up in the bright sun and then back down when a cloud passes over.

with that said, it's working great... fan kicks on when the sun is high enough and off when it's setting. mornings have been a little cool lately, but it's nice in the greenhouse in the mornings

Hows that cantaloupe cutting?

 

[GP73LPC]

still alive but not rooted yet.

i am kinda surprised since google told me it cloned easily by burying the stem...

got my fingers crossed...

 

[GP73LPC]

got a second clone of the cantaloupe now... one of the two should take...

got a cherry tomato clone that just showed roots. not sure where this one is going yet...

and here's the latest with the current greenhouse life.
