The Bagseed Heretic

Shit man...sorry for that....Yeah its a bitch..Regarding a greenhouse, you can build decent small greenhouses with high pressure 40mm pvc pipe and greenhouse plastic, works well and I built a few of them over the years. But also with disease around and inability to do crop rotation in beds etc..do container growing and let your soil lay fallow for 2 years or more between uses, and bleach the F out your containers etc between use keep disease from cross contaminating between crops...I had 20meter long 6 meter wide greenhouses that I built in early 2010s that I had raised beds in and eventually had to give up growing in them assuming the soil was contaminated with all sorts of fungal shit after a couple years crops, plants just getting smashed by fungal shit in the beds when side by side in pots be fine..In hindsight situation would have been much better in containers, but also hindsight takes into account the newer knowledge on diseases that we were just unaware of back then..Hindsight says my viral load, in addition to funngal shit just got too high in that soil.

Compared to the trichome development of the girls outdoors this feels naked.

Plant gives me low light vibes with the ratio of bud to leaf. Light levels are key. Personally, working with LED, I'm convinced I'll never have light volume/DLI 100% dialed in. Too much is even worse than too little.

I tried window growing once with the same result. Not enough direct sun to develop buds and trichomes

A less ambitious profile may prove to be more manageable in the long run; the sister effort to the girl above in the the main space, this more aggressive defoliation looks good on her.

A more monumental undertaking than I'd envisioned but I'm halfway to reclaiming the walk in closet; all the accumulated and left behind items that filled the room have been repositioned and the actual space is available but there will be a few more days putting some order to the chaos. The physical transfer of lights and plants seems like a cake walk against this initial effort. The girls outside will not be coming back in but things waiting in the wings will proceed at a more comfortable pace.

The move is almost complete; 4 more gals in the 2 gal heading this way in a day or two (upgrading the pair in the foreground to 5 gal as well).

The four in veg will have to twiddle their thumbs for a few more weeks; once I take down the gal in the center I can crowd a few in but likely not all.

Initially, I'd pictured room to work up to nine in 5 gal as a working template but with the mainlining involved with my approach that simply won't fly. The potential to use the shelves to transition new faces in still on the table but I'm comfortable putting that off for another few weeks while I get the feel for the space.

With at least three weeks before I pull the next gal down I'm going back to the drawing board trying to pull as much out of the next in line as it has this cabinet all to itself.

Randomly scattered the myriad of ornamental seeds the wife bought along with the assorted herbs and edibles. Makes my indoor efforts a bit humble.

Same Mother plant, soil conditions, date cut and lighting but night and day in their response.

Two newly purchased Growstar 150 UFOs will fit perfectly between my matched Mars Hydro 300 watt units (giving me roughly 730 actual watts at peak draw). Outmoded at this point but still efficient and extremely affordable given that I snagged them for $25 a piece. Eventually, the shelves will run as transitional space to get fresh faces adjusted to flowering with a pair of Mars Hydro TS600s; even with all these in play I'll be under 1000 watts to power the entire room as opposed to the catastrophically chaotic collection of hardwired wall fixtures when I last had the luxury of this space but underestimated how much I'd accumulated and blew the circuit.
