Hey there-

Just wanted to answer a couple questions before I'm swamped with work for the day.

Lights-- I used the same ones Humboldtlocal used, you can buy them at Home Depot for around 50$. Socket is placed every 10 ft, perfect for me...

Greenhouse--Depending on your location, I would start looking around at places like Farmtek, Atlas, etc......The Gothic Arch and Snow Arch series with roll-up sides. Lots of quality options out there, find the place that saves you the most on shipping....

Alright, back at it...hope all is well, brace yourself and your plants for BLOOM!!!

Tonatiuh---ALWAYS a pleasure bro, hope you're covered up in flowers over there! Thanks for dropping by man-

Thanks you very much for the helpful info I had a feeling I was going to be in for some nice shovel time. I love ur style of growing. I love being able to utilize local bulk ingredients. So much cheaper then the hydro shop and with some shopping around much better.

Anybody?

RootWise: Do you do any thinning / leaf removal to your ladies?
I'll bet you're bending them at least, lol.
You have a beautiful garden! Well done : )

 

[mr. bojangles]

Things should be gettin pretty hairy in there by now, any updates?

 

[ROOTWISE]

Goldrush- YES. I do extensive branch removal and thinning. All lower branches are removes for airflow at "crown" level. As the plants enter stretch, I am constantly evaluating each plant and removing inner "sucker" growth and then thinning down each branch, removing all the wispy growth without sufficient access to light. You'd be surprised at the size of a pile that is trimmed from each plant. And it still looks totally overgrown and bushy after I do this continually through late veg and stretch as needed.....sometimes it is overwhelming and gets outta hand, then I buckle down and get caught up. The nature of farming...

Yes folks- it is getting crazy in there, flower sites developing and stretch is wild. I am pushing the limits of my infrastructure.

It has been abnormally wet and humid as well, providing some new challenges for me. Really watching my moisture management and airflow in there....

Update soon....

Do you have a dehumidifier in there, RW?

 

[Goldrush 2010]

Thank you sir for your prompt and thorough explanation.

Yes folks- it is getting crazy in there

But it's those little challenges/solutions that make growing so rewarding : )

Peace!

Man, you must be out of room in some places, they are just growing so fast.

Have you considered pulling off the Greenhouse cover to open it up in there? That could potenially relieve the humidity/Mold threat, as well. Anyway, looking forward to your next update : )

 

[ROOTWISE]

Thanks for the updates!

 

[humboldtlocal]

Looks great brother. What is the farthest along in flower? Do the DG strains look like they will be late or finish in time? I love that shot with the sides of the GH rolled up.
