Greenhouse in a forest

[Long Dong]

I want to start an outdoor grow in a forest, in an illegal state. I know many people have successfully grown in forests. However, the community I primarily participate in has basically laughed at the idea. I found it rather immature, and frustrating, so I came here seeking constructive input.

People are saying I will not get enough sun. They say that a greenhouse needs to be in the open. Then why can plants be grown in a forest outside of a greenhouse? I don't see the difference. I'd love to do that, problem is, I don't have the space on my property. I really, really want to do this outdoor grow right, and it seems the only viable option is to grow inside of a forest. I have 3 months to plan.

I'm thinking about ideas for covering it as well. One idea is to house my greenhouse in a white fiberglass corrugated roofing building. Supposedly, this material appears opaque, but actually allows plenty of light in for plants. I also came up with the idea depicted below.

So, what do you guys think? I'm going to post this on several communities. If everyone thinks it's a stupid ass idea then so be it, I'll scrap it.

Plants in a forest, even with some direct sunlight, get stretchy and do not yield a lot. Your likely to outgrow your green house unless you do light deprivation.

Why not use some sort of material that let's light in but you can't see thru and put it in a sunny spot? If you have juice you could also put a carbon scrubber on your ventilation. They make inline scrubbers.

I don't know much about what material to use for a greenhouse. Surely research would find something workable.

I think it will stand out BIGTIME and get a visit from some hunter,bird watcher,hiker if your lucky not leo........ as from the air it would really be easy to spot and definitely suspicious.......yeehaw...SCRAP THIS IDEA.....I have grown in trees before tho..I used hunting camo treestands...was a real pain in the ass but worked...climbing up and hauling water got old real quick....I made removeable climbing pegs that could be unscrewed or ya can buy them to get up..with mine there was the peg and a piece it screwed into..so ya screw in the insert and the peg..on the way down unscrew peg and the insert stays in tree...otherwise you hurt the tree a lot with the normal ones as each time ya have to screw it into the tree...the area I grew didn't get flyovers but a lot of ground traffic...

Stoned-trout, it's funny all of this talk on the forum about growing in tree's. We used to play around with the thought over a decade ago. Never did try it. Seems it would be hard to find a sunny spot in the tree. Did you prune a spot open to get light or find them naturally open?

We get some nasty winds around here during storms. It's hard to find outdoor spots that do well and have access worth a damn.

I got my treestands free from peeps that hunted on my posted property I left note and told em to visit police if they wanted em returned,,,all my prop was posted at proper height and spaceing with a name and number on it,,, as per laws and police were told as requested along with fish and game...never called em tho as I don't do that...I did minor pruneing of tress and just picked the right spots to relocate illegal tree stands i confiscated...I was known in the area and I am surprised so many tried..well thanks I got lots of tree stands free.most were good quality with some camo material to hide a hunter too...not just a platform...yeehaw

Most likely

Why do you think you have to use the forrest?

Where is your general location in the world?

Find a place in the forrest where a big tree fell over. If it is a recent fall even better because the light it blocked is now open. Plant a few plants around the base. I would use a small chickenwire fence around each plant.

Avoid evergreen trees unless you use a container or replace soil.

Looks like we weren't that interesting guys.

I was going to do up plans for a treehouse greenhouse.

Yeah, I would scrap it. Or do it but just for fun. Easy seven is on the money, stretchy. My buddy had a plant in the woods, stretched tall, yielded low (3 zips on a 6 foot plant)...but it was above average quality. (Suprised me). Then again, maybe it was strain dependant, he popped a bag seed. By the way, his 60 fire phenos out in the open got flown over and cut down 2 weeks from finish. Food for thought.
