You slowed them down a little but I'd say they are going to be just fine.
wait, they're in coots mix from last year not BG. its a pretty heavy mix. and they got rained on last night...The soil is drying out a bit now but i dont want to overwater, i watered them 2 days ago but i guess they could use it again
i called AEA yesterday but didnt realize their hours are so weird so i will try again monday
i hope you're right!
or just a little reinforcement and cross members (sorry I have an Architectural Drafting and Cad /Cam degree) might have helped!
Man we got some serious rain and wind even here in the 831 brah...
thanks guys, duly noted. i think the real lesson here is that i shouldnt be building things by myself when it matters!
My bad on the BG. Cootz is still a really lightweight mix. If you read Coot you will see he uses a bluemat and keeps the top damp.
That is because microbes do not like a lack of water in these weight soils. And looking at your plants they lack everything, from N to Ca and all the rest. They are not taking up nutrients.
You have to get the microbes alive again.

Here is a picture of my cattle panel GH. Its been 5 years standing with zero probs and my spot is insanely windy. It was about $600 all together and a couple days work.

Fuck man my biggest fear. My greenhouse was reaching the 100+ up to like 116. I knew I had to put some ventilation in there. Every morning I go to pull the tarp and I have in the back of my head a bunch of dried and fuck up seedlings. Hope everything works out bro!!!

You got this

Sorry to see this, but I think u can get them back to health in the next 10 days. You need to feed them a good source of N, CA, and a little mg. Bottle feed heavy for two feedings and Goliath feed the hell out of them during the next 10 days. Be extra careful and do not overwater, the foliar feeds help keep the plant fed. I personally would go get a bottle of advanced nutrients Iguano juice grow, and a bottle general organics CA and get them back to health asap. it appears the soil does not have adequate food sources and the cold weather slowed the growth down almost halting growth. Plant food and warm root temps will bounce them back. I do not believe your plants looked fried in any way, just starved of food. Good luck this season, you'll still crush it

schrews,
a hot climate won't make the plants yellow. they look nitrogen deficient. i would top dress with ewc

I agree, slow growth for a week then back to normal.
Should make the really strong ones stand out.
With your skills I doubt there will be much weight difference at harvest.

Oh man they don't look too bad. Best of luck!
fuckin a ; must be windy as a bitch everywhere. horrid at my spot; i seen my buddies pvc greenhouse take a shit too. all my march starts began flowering as well.. if it aint one thing; it's def another peeps .

Shcrews- if you wanna keep using that hoop house, just frame out the ends to be safe. 2 pieces of lumber to go the width on the ground on each end. connected into pvc/wood on the corners. 4 more (2x4)s to go vertically and 4 t post. you will end up with a door on each end. put the t post just inside the edge of the hoop house parallel to one another as wide as a normal door. tie the (2x4s) vertically into the piece of wood on the ground and then fasten them to the T posts with zip ties or bailing wire. then with a scrap piece of wood make a cross member to join at the top. its pretty much a 2x4 with the top corners cut out to fit into the crossmember. it finishes the top part of the door frame. I had some hoop houses destroyed in the wind already this yr. (luckily no plants in them) and I think I am in your neck of the woods. we did this modification and we are holding up good in the strong winds. and actually looking back at the pictures, you need some runner boards on the outsides to keep the pvc from flexing and popping off/it will help weight it down and to connect to the frame ends as well. good luck!
